    Help Regarding Form IMM5669

    No, you don't need to write "stayed at home". Just write "unemployed', that's pretty self explanatory.

    Help Regarding Form IMM5669

    You should put the name of the University that issued the degree. When you stayed at home, you should put UNEMPLOYED for that period of time. And no, you do not need to indicate you had a vacation from school because that is pretty obvious. Just say you went to school for two years...

    Hands down the most often asked question from Inland applicants

    Ponga, when did this rule change? I was under the impression that the person had to have legal status in Canada to apply for the OWP under the pilot project.

    PROOF OF COHABITATION QUESTION - WE ARE MARRIED

    Even though you are married you still need to proof that the relationship is genuine and you are in fact living together. Not having a joint back account is a red flag, but submit what you have anyway. Not having "joint" bills is not an issue, as long as you have some and he has some at the same...

    Required any income in spouse sponsor

    She doesn't need to show any specific amount of income, as long as she is not receiving welfare. However, she does need to explain how she supports herself and how she plans to support you for the next 3 years since she is not technically working and not reporting any income.

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    A friend of mine saw her e-cas change to Decision Made more than 6 weeks ago, but she never received a letter. She kept calling CIC to find out what is happening and they kept telling her that there's nothing they can tell her. After 6 weeks of calling, she finally got a helpful agent who...

    MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE

    This just seems like standard CIC incompetence. I guess the best bet would be to make a notarized copy and send it again. It's really not your fault, you're just a victim of a very incompetent visa officer. It happens all the time.

    Cohabitation proof needed if married

    Also, I would strongly recommend providing at least a few pieces of mail that arrived to both of you at the same address. It would be great to have something with both your names on it, such as a wedding invitation, but even if you can just provide like a phone bill addressed to you, and another...

    Extended stay as visitor, only given one month before expiring again?

    They are giving you 6 months, but from the time your previous visa expired. It happened to my friend as well. I know it really sucks, but basically all you can do is apply for another extension. Don't lose your status before you apply for PR. And remember that you don't have to pay the landing...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    Personally I haven't gone through the interview process but my friends did. First, they were interviewed separately for about 45 minutes each, and then they were back together in the same room with the officer to compare the answers. Here are some examples of questions they were asked: - When...

    Voluntarily sending in more proof of relationship

    I regularly submitted more proof of relationship such as photos and bank statements throughout the process, and it did not slow anything down. The entire process took 16 months from submitting the application to DM. Just make sure you are including a cover letter with your UCI or application...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    This really sucks. My guess is that your card got lost somewhere in the mail. It's not unusual for Canada Post to lose things. The only thing I can think of, is try to fill out an application for a replacement card. I know it's annoying, but at this point there is not much you can do. I...

    Out of status application. New thread for those feeling lost.

    My husband was out of status for a long time when we filed our Inland application. Initially he was here on a work permit, then he was on a visitor's visa because for some reason his work permit extension was refused. When his visitor's visa was about to expire, his consultant filed for an...
