    Spousal sponsorship

    Only if the car has been owned and used by you before bringing it to Canada and it is on the list of goods to follow (the b4 form).

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Off-topic. This is the Prime Minister's statement on the Nairobi terrorist attacks and has nothing to do with the strike.

    Application

    Everything gets sent in at the same time, in one package. Once they get the package from you they work through it in sequence. Your husband's sponsorship is evaluated first and needs to be approved before the next stage, your application, is commenced. Once his sponsorship is approved they send...

    Photos and relationship testimonial

    I'm pretty sure ours is a strong application but it's not a big one. Essentially we loaded up the relationship proof for the first two years of our relationship, then added supplementary evidence for each year thereafter to show an ongoing, committed relationship. Not a lot, but hopefully...

    Photos and relationship testimonial

    I stressed a lot about relationship proof too and in the end I discarded about 2/3rds of what I had put aside to include. The thing is, every relationship is different. I went with quality over quantity and hope that this is enough. Photos are part of our major proof because they show a...

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Do they? That's not the kind of news I want to hear :-(

    Application

    The latest update shows that processing of the SA is now down to 23 days. That should be reassuring news for those of us waiting.

    My wife lost her CSQ

    The border agents may or may not accept a copy of her CSQ. You really need to contact MICC as soon as possible and explain the situation. They should send you a certificate that acts as a replacement. The original, or the certificate that MICC will send, is needed for your wife to register for...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Unfortunately, no. If they ask for your immigration entry/exit record or movement certificate for each country you have visited then that is what they want. There's no way around that, you just have to provide them.

    Application

    I was so paranoid about that happening that before the application went to the courier I had the entire thing scanned. However, with so many of us waiting to hear that they have our papers I think the most likely scenario is that they are just not bothering to enter the details. While I believe...

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Congratulations! I am so very envious and looking forward to a time when we can say the same thing. All the very best to you both in your new life together in Canada.

    Please help me...ㅠㅠ Question about IMM5406E and IMM5285E

    Yes, you fill out the information for both your mother and your father. Marital status for your mother would be "widow" and for your father I'd just put "deceased". Where they ask for any additional details of your current relationship they want to see all the evidence that your relationship...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    For Canadian media, I agree, however to make a wave big enough to grab attention that will focus attention on the issues and apply pressure I don't think you can beat the face of human suffering. We all know children are starving in parts of the world but the charities wanting money for this...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    There is nothing stopping us from stirring the pot. Think of a YouTube channel with people posting video clips of spouses crying, children sending messages to parents, everyone making a plea to the Canadian government. Or a Flickr group with photos of miserable families wanting to join their...

    Application

    I'm in the same situation. Package tracking shows the time and date when it was signed for but nothing shows up online and I've heard nothing. @katester - I wouldn't worry. It's unlikely that you sent it to the wrong address and even if you did it would still find its way to the right place...

    Timing question

    I just noticed that someone else is asking the same question, in the thread titled, "Application". It's here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/application-t164227.0.html

    Timing question

    How long does it usually take between when an application for sponsorship is received to when they start to look at it? Track and trace courier shows when the package was delivered but nothing is showing online. We haven't heard anything from CIC so I'm wondering if they sit on these for awhile...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    That article isn't about the backlog and has nothing to do with the strike. It's about the visa regulations for Mexico and how the Mexican government wants these to be eased. This is foreign policy and nothing to do with our applications.

    Didn't you post this same question in another thread? I seem to recall seeing the question and answer.
