    CONGRATS!!!!! Only a matter of days before you get it in hand. Make sure you check it for any spelling errors etc. And check the expiry date on it. She has to land before that date. Also don't forget the CFO seminar and sticker for your wife.

    Mr. Peace.. I would not wait for the 1 year anniversary. The MP secretary is feeding you crap. Start knocking heads! Tell them your medical is expiring soon and you are furious that you should have to get another one, when others after you that have applied have the VISAs.. Even request a face...

    Great to hear... hope things will finally finish up for you. Don't let up keep on them. The spreadsheet looks okay. Might be the mobile.

    If you have a DM then yes all that is left is just taking the time to courier the docs to you. For my wife it took 2 or 3 days, some take a bit longer.

    Hey Auditt, just read your posts... Yikes.. I am surprised you have not gone ballistic yet... You have shown great patience. I don't know who your MP is but they really have failed for you. 18.5 months is way too long and for Mr Alexander saying that he wishes an embargo to people emailing the...

    NewbieMay is right .. it starts 3 months after you land. But you need to apply in the 90 day period. It is best to try and do it early. If you don't get the card in the mail by the 90 days you can go to the service Ontario desk and they can print you a temporary card until you get the one in...

    Just a couple of items for those that are coming about OHIP and driver's license. (for people landing in Ontario). About OHIP - (Ontario health card) It will be in effect 90 days after you land. (i.e. months) You don't need to apply right away but will need to apply in that 90 day period...

    It really depends on where you land... Canada is huge and a lot of these services are community based or provincially funded. Other places that can help... Local community center (if you have one) Local church (there can be people you can meet there that can help or guide you) Services...

    The YMCA/YWCA can be found here: http://www.ymcaywca.ca/ It is a location that has a bunch of programs and seminars that can help new people to canada. They also have gyms and aerobics classes and yoga classes. It is usually cheaper than a regular gym. It is kind of like a community centre...

    I would CC the other parties shadow CIC persons. I think Dewar might be the NDP one. Even cc the media. A good person to ask is Canadian Jeep Guy, he had a lot of experience in letter writing. You might want to try Baird office too. Reference me too, saying you are getting no help from your riding.

    Yeah i second this too... These people work for you and this is what they are suppose to do. Some of the office workers may not know the procedure to contact them but you should be able to help them along.

    Just to give you guys an idea of what I did for my wife. We got PPR on Sept 3 3013, and sent her passport in right away. I waited until Nov 15th to contact MP by email. The MP will send you a form for your spouse to fill out and send back to them. This will allow the MP to request the...

    Pay it, get the receipt, send a copy of the receipt to Edmonton with the case number. When the passport is requested send a copy of the receipt with the passport request. We paid ours early on when we applied.

    For our application we put the form together. Then group the supporting documents (logs, pictures etc) based on the content. We also group the pictures based on trips. Supporting letters (i.e. family members from both sides wrote letters saying they knew about our relationship and that it was...

    Thanks, Yeah definitely get the inquiry sent. Expiring medical is one of the reason why I was on the case with my MP. The problem is you only have a short time for your spouse to get everything organized. Good luck with the process. It is frustrating to go through but when the end of it comes...
