There seem to be a lot of people for whom it isn't regularly updated. Ours still shows "application received" for both sponsor and applicant, despite us having sponsor approval, approval from Quebec, and an email saying Sydney has the application in process. We've been in the system for a couple...

You should be fine until July. It's usually linked to the expiry date of the medical.

CSQ has been received by Sydney and everything is underway. Somehow, I don't think mine will be through in three months unless it comes through this week (one can dream no?).

You should be able to sponsor him then ;) I think you need to go through the application forms very carefully and look at how you can prove that your relationship is genuine. It is a very short relationship with a quick marriage so you will need to provide lots of evidence if you want CIC to...

I agree with zardoz. If you are married it's very likely that you would be able to immigrate. However, you are both young and marriage is a huge commitment. You need to think about whether you have spent enough time together, face-to-face, and know each other well enough to want to make a...

The B4 form is, however, only for new settlers, so this is not much use to you before you get PR. Unless you take a trip back and return with it as a visitor you should leave it where it is or be prepared to pay any duty and GST customs would charge. Once you have PR you complete the B4 form...

It's not law but most doctors doing a sensitive physical exam would have a female present. Many doctors do this as a matter of course as it protects them as well as helping to make a female patient more comfortable.

How did you get your PR? If you were sponsored you cannot sponsor anyone yourself for five years.

That's something everyone needs to consider with this forum. We might all refer to the same form name but CIC updates and changes these forms so the form that caused a problem a few months ago might not be the same now.

I'd leave them stapled together to avoid them getting accidentally separated. If these papers are the only ones with staples it won't be a problem for the processing officer.

You say your application was received so the error on the zipcode isn't relevant - they already have it. The code isn't as important for courier deliveries as it is for mail anyway. It got to them and that's what matters. You might receive acknowledgement, you might not. CIC isn't consistent...

They might still ask for an interview but if they had intended to refuse they wouldn't ask for a new medical to be done. I'd see it as a positive sign. It looks like the application is in the very final stages now.

@doctors What you are going through is so hard and I am so very sorry for you. Please consider contacting one of the women's support agencies I listed in my previous post (http://crcvc.ca/links/#supportWomen) - for getting help and advice for YOU. You shouldn't have had this horrible experience...

No, you can apply outland. This means simply that your application is processed outside of Canada but it also has the advantage of being considerably faster. Inland takes a lot longer and has more restrictions on it. No. If you apply inland you must remain in Canada with your sponsor for the...

Congratulations NZ2AB. It must be an amazing feeling to finally have this all over and done with and to be there :)

It is ridiculous but my husband managed to talk to someone today that explained the entire process, which was interesting. Not helpful to us since we are still on the merry-go-round with them but I posted what I know in case its helpful to others...

Whenever a question on a form doesn't apply to you you should write, "Not Applicable". The list of the documents you need is on the CIC site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp and for the Quebec part everything is here...

I'm sorry, I don't agree with reporting him anonymously. An anonymous tip-off is just that - a tip-off that cannot lead to an arrest unless others give statements to the Police. The doctor's actions have nothing more to do with immigration than the fact he is using immigration medicals as an...

Oooh boy! So am I! Right at the last minute too - I never want to go through this kind of stress again! Now, we only have to worry about whether MICC will get it done before the next deadline.

MICC still hasn't sent it but the VO has given a two-week extension. Hopefully, it will be sorted within two weeks.
