    Spouse immigration: Bringing money from her parents during immigration

From CIC website: "You and your family members must have valid passports or travel documents. If any of the documents are to expire soon, you should renew...

    Worried About Income

    I don't think you need to show you are making $1K/week in order to have your visitor visa extended. But I believe CIC looks into how much money your b/f makes a year in order for them to see if he can financially support you while living with him. If you say that he doesn't have a steady income...

    Common law - interrupted cohabitation

    Ponga, you are right. The fact that he has been away since July, might be a negative influence on the application. But he left because of what the custom officer told him that if he overstays he will be refused entry to Canada. And we thought that him returning after a month or so will also have...
