Hi, so I was reading the CIC application guide, and in the section explaining the fees it mentions that there's a $150 fee for dependents, my daughter lives in my home country with her mother and is non accompanying. Do I still have to pay the $150 fee? On the website it just says "Dependent...

So do I just add the IMM5710 form in with my application and nothing else? I don't have to include the IMM5556 Document checklist for workers?

so I got my nomination letter for the BC PNP today, I was so excited and went on the CIC website to start my paperwork. When I did my application to bc for the PNP I didn't include my daughter in the application because I misunderstood the definition of a dependant child, she lives with her...

Hi, so I am going to be applying for the open work permit with my inland application. Does anyone know if I need second copies of the documents asked for in the work permit checklist? Like I already have all the required documents in my main application, I have a statutory declaration of...

IEC work permits are not extendable therefore do no benefit from implied status as a worker, they do however gain implied status as a visitor if there's a pending application with CIC in the system. There have been cases of people working under the assumption that they had implied status on an...

I guess it's a bit of a grey area, and seeing as with inland applications don't have right of appeal I guess it's just safer to stay with you common law partner.

Are you sure that's right Sophiee? I was under the same impression, but I've learned that once you've cohabited for 12 months you can live apart as long as you're able to prove that the relationship is still ongoing and genuine, at least that is the case for an outland application, I don't see...

Ok thanks for clarifying Sophieee, So just out of curiosity I'm still waiting on some police checks, which is all I'm still waiting on, would I be able to do the same thing or should I wait until I have all the paperwork together to send the application?

Once you have cohabited for 12 months you can apply. I'm not 100% sure on this but I don't think that it's a requirement that you change your status with the CRA in order to file your application to CIC, you would however have to declare it when you do your tax return for year that you became...

Ah bummer. Ok thanks, I'll have to get the ball rolling on getting them sent out.

Another question, how long are police checks valid for? I have read some places saying 3 months and others saying up to 12 months? I have a police check from August last year that I thought I'd be able to use but now I'm doubtful? Also just found out that I do need to submit a traffic...

Ahh thank you so much, I did try searching for a lot of this stuff but I got so many other non relevant things in the search that I wasn't able to find the answers I needed. =)

Hi, so just going through the motions of filling out my application and I have a few questions. 1. When filling out the date I last entered Canada it has from and to, now I am still in Canada so what do I put on the to box? Do I put the date that I sign the form, or do I just leave this blank...
