I'm guessing you're the sponsored spouse? I put a different residential and mailing address for my sponsored spouse and our application got sent back. So...

I was hoping to get it today, as our application was received on December 21 but nada :(

I got mine back 2 weeks later...haha

Yes. First, your son will need a passport from the country he was born in, then you apply for proof of Canadian citizenship and then you can get him a Canadian passport. When I applied for my daughter's Canadian proof of citizenship, I provided her American passport as photo ID (she was born in...

I guess it depends where you apply (Canada/USA vs other countries). When I was applying, the website said 5 months and it was almost exactly 5 months.

We just went through this recently. Your baby is a Canadian citizenship. You need to apply for proof of citizenship for your child. It takes about 5 months. Apply ASAP. Your wife can stay in Canada as a visitor while your application is processed. Not sure about other provinces but if you want...

Yes, you do have to apply for proof of citizenship for your child. It takes about 5 months to process, so keep that in mind. You will need to get your son a passport and that will take care of the photo identification. Since your wife and the baby will travel to Canada, your son will need a...

Crap indeed. Big, big crap haha He doesn't have UCI, we didn't get acknowledgment either (app was received December 21). I photocopied all the completed forms for my records. I don't know what happened when I was putting together the package. Either I used the old form or printed out the old...

Some of you may remember that our application was returned due to discrepancy in address. My American husband is currently staying/visiting in Canada and in the first application, we provided his American address as his residential address and my Canadian address as his mailing address. After...

I drove with my dog from Canada to the US and back at least 5 times over the years and I haven't been questioned while entering either country even once. Nobody ever asked if the dog was up to date on shots or anything. Totally ignored the dog haha

I also want to throw it out there that I wasn't born and raised in Canada. I grew up in Europe, lived in Canada for 10 years, then for 2 in the US. So it's not like I'm praising Canada only because it's my home and native land LOL

Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I mean, you guys willingly moved to Canada, so I assumed you both were on the same page as me and also concluded that Canada is a better choice than the US.

I know :) That's exactly what I'm talking about: gun violence, extremely HOL, ridiculously overpriced houses (that aren't even nice), racism, homophobia, xenophobia, Trump running for president (and likely to win, it seems), crappy health care, crappy education system, the list goes on...Eeek. I...

I lived in California for just over 2 years. My husband lived there for 15 or so. Everyone asks why did we move back. I always say that living in California is nice only in theory (after all, it's still the US haha...I mean California is better than, let's say, Texas but still). It's great for...

I saw a lot of people on this board getting their PR within 6 months and quite a few within as little as 4 months. So...

I got my green card in 5 months (applied at the end of 2013). Now I'm sponsoring my husband here but we've just applied, so I don't know how long that'll take. The process and application (i.e. information and documentation needed) are very similar. The question is where would you like to live...

I moved from California too. We looked at various options of shipping our belongings and it was just so expensive that it wasn't worth it for us. We sold all of our furniture, decorations, kitchen stuff, etc donated and gave away clothes that we haven't worn in a while and just shipped a few...

Thanks so much! We still have some time. He's been here for just over 3 months. To be honest, after I put together the whole application package just before Christmas, I don't even want to think about it haha

OMG haha OP, your updated killed me here! I clicked on this thread because we need to apply for extension for my husband as well. I was wondering how long before the 6 month mark should we apply and what documents do we need. I guess I should dig deeper in the forum ;)

Why does it matter? OP said that they want to get married.
