    Feel so unhappy after moving to Canada

    I am a Canadian and feel so sad for all the hardships you are going through. I think it must be a culture shock and you just need to give it more time. I grew up in Canada, but it was a huge shock when I started as a teacher-on-call in Vancouver (from a small town). After a few months, I got a...

    Evidence of sponsor living in Canada

    Do you also have any letters to possible future employers? Or, if you have kids are you looking at schools? I would include an explanation with the flight itinerary. Perhaps the family member picking you up could write a short letter stating that and sign it.

    Inland or Outland Applications: Submitting PR Application WITH Rehabilitation

    yay! It is great news that your wife is eligible for rehabilitation in August. You can send both applications in at the same time. I think in terms of processing time it might be faster if everything is in 1 package. Otherwise, spousal application could be sent to Ottawa and criminal...

    FEBRUARY 2015 OUTLAND

    We finally received a copy of my SA via email. I noticed that the UCI# on our AOR1 and SA letter are 1 digit off. The last digit was changed from a 3 to a 1. Did any of your UCI#s change or should I be contacting CIC to correct this?
