It should be three simple questions, but it also depends on the officer. I was expecting it to be in a room, sitting at a desk or something similar, but it turned out to be more like a bank/post office style, 20+ officers talking through a window. So I couldn't help but to overhear what other...

How likely is it that CIC will contact tge employers which provided reference letters? If they do, would it be by phone or e-mail? If by phone, would they even attempt to find someone who speaka their language to make the call? What if the company no longer exists?

Don't worry, this is a standard letter. Make sure you bring all the required documents. Personally, I did not have to bring proof of employment, but this refers to the sponsor. Just ask your employer for a letter, and attach some pay stubs. And make sure you arrive early! Good luck and...

They will request the police certificate after the sponsor gets approved. However, it is a good idea to send it in at the beginning. I did that, and I didn't have to wait the 10 months. We received AIP and DM on the same day. However, CIC is not consistent at all and a lot depends on the officer...

For people already in Canada, landing means going to a local Immigration Office, and picking up your Confirmation of Permanent Residence Document. It then takes 90 days to receive your PR card, but you can use the document you receive at the landing appointment as proof of PR. It is difficult to...

I am the sponsor and I was asked for my citizenship certificate at the landing interview, even though it wasn't stated in the letter. You never know what else they might request. Make sure that the sponsor has some kind of ID, and you need to bring proof of address. So if you both have a...

Yes, landed on May 20th, 2015 and still waiting for the card. The website says 90 days which doesn't include mailing time. So yours should be arriving in the next couple of days.

I applied for BOWP before my work permit expired, and because I hadn't heard back from them before the 90 days was up, I also applied for restoration of status, and I haven't heard back about this either. So I am on implied status.

I need some advice. I was on a work permit (LMO) which expired in February 2015. I applied for a bridging work permit because I was going to apply for LMIA, but unfortunately my employer did not get all the documents ready in time, so I applied for a restoration of status. I have not received...

Sorry, what I meant to say is that it is not required if you are married versus common-law. In both cases you need proof, but it's much less if you are married. Obviously, it is always better to include as much as you can.

On one of the forms is says something like "on a separate sheet of paper provide any addition information that prove your relationship is genuine and continuing. So you are not required to send 100 photos, but it is in your best interest to convince the officer that your relationship is genuine...

Hi CEC applicants, I realize that the document checklist is received upon getting at ITA, but would anyone like to share their personalized checklist? I would like to prepare everything as much as I can ahead of time. I'm interested to see what exactly is required for reference letters from...

This e-mail is the AOR - Acknowlegement of Receipt. Basically they said they received the application. The next step will be Sponsorship Approval. This is where they determine if your husband is elegible to become a sponsor. This step currently takes 16 months according to the website (but this...

They might request a new medical but it depends on the officer. If you submitted enough evidence that your relationship is genuine, you have nothing to worry about. But you should keep collecting more evidence throughout the process, because sometimes they request it. Keep taking photos at...

Why do you think you might be refused? Give us some background imformation. There are lots of people on this forum who can give you advice. Are there any red flags? The only reason you could be refused is if the sponsor is receiving welfare, if the applicant has a criminal record, or does not...

She wants to obtain the 600 points. She is currently under implied status, her LMO expired and she applied for a visitor's visa so she doesn't lose status. She hasn't received the visitors visa yet.

A friend of mine received a positive LMIA and she would like to know if she needs to go to the border to get her work permit, or can she simply enter her LMIA number to her EE profile?
