    Sending in 8 Photo's

    Call the medical center and ask them if they require photos. Many of them take their own photos when you arrive for the medical. There aren't any forms to take as this is now all done electronically. At the end of the medical the doctor will give you a form to include with your application. Keep...

    How do i get back to Canada to live together for 1 yr for commonlaw appl?

    If you go back in on your IEC visa you must stop working as soon as that visa expires. But you can be looking for a job that offers a LMO (labour market opinion) and once you find such a job you can apply for a work permit. The IEC allows you to work but isn't the same as a work permit. Once it...

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Thank you Westie and PaddyO :-) Ah, the million dollar question! If I had my way, I would have been there yesterday. However, because we figured we would be waiting a while longer we don't have our possessions on their way yet. So, packing up, selling up, and moving out - and hope to do all...

    How to prove re-establishment of ties to Canada when applying outland? IMM5540E

    You don't need to have solid plans but you already have some plans - you intend to look for a suitable university where your husband can study, then look for housing nearby. I don't know how much the war is affecting internet in Damascus but, if you can, do some research online for potential...

    Aussie Being Sponsored By Canadian, Just About To Lodge Application

    You first see your UCI on correspondence after the file has been transferred to Sydney. To follow the application process on ecas (assuming ecas gets updated along the way) the sponsor can login and check the status using the sponsor's UCI, or you can use the file number for the application. You...

    Land in Vancouver en route to QC? Or land in QC later?

    I've got health coverage so a delay of a few days or a week or two doesn't matter. I don't see the point either (now) but I wanted feedback so I could weigh the advantages/disadvantages of each. The advantage of landing in Montreal is that the Guide to Quebec, information on language courses...

    He might get an AoR (acknowledgement of receipt) or he might not. There doesn't seem to be any consistency about this. We didn't get anything, not even an updated on the website, until out of the blue we received a letter saying the first stage (sponsorship) had been approved and my file had...

    Land in Vancouver en route to QC? Or land in QC later?

    Hi all, I will be arriving on an international flight into Vancouver and going through border control there. I am going to Quebec and I understand its better to do my actual landing in Quebec. Can I do the landing in Montreal if I fly in on a domestic flight from Vancouver? If I can, would I hit...

    Conjugal sponsorship or common law partner?

    The OP said her boyfriend is Canadian though. The Philippines recognises divorces if they are instigated by a spouse that is a foreign citizen. He can go through the divorce in Canada, if he is a citizen and/or meets the residency requirements. A divorce in Canada would leave him legally able to...

    Conjugal sponsorship or common law partner?

    You don't qualify as a common-law relationship (to do so you must live together for at least twelve months) but you could probably apply as a conjugal relationship. Unfortunately, it can be very hard to prove a genuine conjugal relationship. You would need to prove that there is absolutely no...

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    It's hard to answer this for you s_hassan27 because we don't know what they asked you to do in the letter. The letter should tell you where to send the documents. If they want the documents emailed they would have given you the address to use to send them to. Police checks can't usually be...

    Question 9-development of relationship.any examples?

    We had trouble with this question too. After being together 11 years, living together for ten of them, not only did we not have old records but we have far too many shared trips and experiences to document them all. Added to this, I hate having my photo taken and we don't have a lot of photos of...

    Contact MP?

    It's NOT abusing power. A member of parliament is elected to represent their constituents in parliament. That is their job. Some have both the time and willingness to assist constituents in other matters, some are too busy doing their jobs to be able to take on work that isn't actually part of...

    Marriage and PR card

    Yes, it was the wrong decision. It's not too late to get her added though and I definitely recommend you doing this. Add her, include all the evidence you can, which won't be enough but including it with an explanation is fine, and get her to take the medical exam. CIC is highly likely to say...
