I've not had to get anything translated so others may come along with different information. However, on the CIC website it says that all supporting documents must be translated by a certified translator if the originals are not in either English or French. That said, if I had heaps of...

I agree with scylla. It doesn't sound as if any of these applications were regular parental sponsorship applications in the family class. It's unfortunate that this route was taken, and very unfortunate that she misrepresented herself and lied in an application. All of that will be on record and...

Yes, the proof needs to be provided in English. Send the originals and a translation. However, you don't need to send a huge pile of correspondence. Print (or take screenshots) of your inbox and sent items folder - this will show a list of the emails you exchanged. Then take a selection of...

It depends on where your application will be processed. Some visa offices require the actual passport, others require photocopies of all the pages. Some want the passport at the beginning of the process and hang onto it for the duration of the processing, others ask for it right before PR is...

You will create a world of pain for yourselves if you rely on information that is seven years old. Immigration law changes and what was acceptable seven years ago, or even just over a year ago, is no longer relevant. The ONLY rules that matter are the ones that apply now because these are the...

He can fly into any airport and land anywhere in Canada, he just needs to live in the province that was stated in the application (he can move later but needs to be in Ottawa initially).

While I don't think its necessary, we wrote a note to the application stating that the sponsor didn't know his UCI and that his mother didn't have a record of it either. CIC must get a lot of people in this situation. Old citizenship cards don't have the number on them and most parents would...

We had the same issue. Just leave it blank.

But, he has to! If its not filmed how can we all watch on YouTube? :D

For immigration purposes he isn't "living" with you now - he is "visiting" with you. It's an important distinction because he cannot legally live in Canada until he has PR. He can stay with you, but don't use the word, "living". His address should be his US address.

Re: QUEBEC: MICC French Courses @ CEGEP Rosemont? Thank you both :-) I have a lot of great French music, including some Quebec albums, that I keep playing in the background. I will definitely watch that show on youtube and check out duolingo - thanks! One thing I am pretty good at is...

By law, you must notify CIC about any changes in your family circumstances. If you don't inform them you are leaving yourselves open to allegations of misrepresentation. Changes of address won't delay things. If you didn't inform CIC in your application that your wife is pregnant that *might*...

Fingers and toes crossed! :D

Re: QUEBEC: MICC French Courses @ CEGEP Rosemont? Could any of you give me some tips for building my proficiency before I land? I want to be able to come in at level 2. I can read reasonably well (not necessarily understanding every single word individually, but understanding whole sentences)...

There is already a great thread about organising the application package and evidence - it's up to 39 pages now of great tips. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/how-i-organized-our-applcation-and-a-summary-of-all-helpful-tips-i-have-learned-t92449.0.html It would be...

Yay! This is wonderful news - I'm so happy for you :-) This thread is turning into the thread for happy dances now :D

It's really hard to wait and I feel your pain. Please try to stay positive - things will work out. If the processing time for your visa office has passed and you are still waiting to hear the outcome get in contact with them and ask for an update on the status of your application. CIC doesn't...

I asked CIC about this and was told that they want to know any nicknames or alias we've used anywhere. I asked if this included aliases I've used on social media, like Twitter, and he repeated that they want to know any nicknames used anywhere. Since he didn't explain any further I included my...

Some good news - I'm finally done with MICC. They called my spouse to tell us that they have agreed that my name is my name and have amended their records. So now I am back to having only one legal name in Quebec :-) Sydney has been notified. I'm not sure if all this messing about with MICC has...

All the information you need is here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp There is no income requirement for sponsoring a spouse but CIC will want to know how you will support your husband. You can apply as soon as you enter Canada but expect it to take around 11...
