hey guys! I have some questions about the constancia from PGR. 1)I imagine it will be in Spanish right? So do I need to get it translated before sending it to the embassy? 2) When we go to pick it up, can we just head on over to the embassy and drop it off in person or do we have to send it...

Hi and welcome titejulie! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! If you have any questions about immigration I´m sure there is someone here who can help you! :)

Hi I am also on a student visa sponsoring my spouse. You should write that you do not reside in Canada, and provide proof that you intend on going back to Canada. Maybe a copy of your student visa if it expires soon. Proof that you have been looking for a job in Canada, or looking for...

Sent mine in an office size envelope, which I then put in a small box provided by dhl. (For security, since the envelope wouldn´t close properly!!)

Congrats on getting the letter! Looks like they are getting some work done in the mexico office...let´s hope this means faster processing times for everyone. :D Here is a website I found with the requirements for PGR...

ohh on mine they didn´t ask for any other documents or anything...they just said they were sending instructions for PGR via regular mail! It can´t take that long to send stuff from Mexico city to Veracruz...so I am thinking it should be here in a week or two.

We got AOR from Mexico city today, by email! In the letter it says that the average time from that office is 6 months. Also says they are sending the instructions for the PGR today and if we don´t get the letter in 60 days to contact them. One thing I am not sure of is that it says ¨To...

It wasn´t a problem for me at all. I am here on a student visa that expires in August 2012. And I also have a scholarship with a condition stating that I must return to Canada when I finish my studies. So all I submitted as proof of intention to return was a copy of my visa where it says it...

Oaxaca is a nice city! Has a nice market and good chocolate!! I think Oaxaca is pretty safe right now. Just use your common sense and everyting will be fine! But if you want a resort I would definitely recommend Cancun it´s really beautiful there!

No problem! My sponsorship has been approved at the end of January and now I am still waiting to hear from Mexico city. You should join us in the Mexico thread, we are all in pretty similar situations there and it helps pass the time while you wait for your visa. :D

Hi and welcome! There are a whole bunch of us applying through Mexico City! There is a mexico thread here you can check out: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/mexico-t35385.2145.html I know the site says 13 months but from what I have seen here on this forum it...

ohh thanks for the spreadsheet! Here is mine: Date sent: Nov. 26 2011 Application Received: Dec. 6 2011 Sponsorship Approval: January 31st 2012 Medical sent Nov. 8 2011

I´m pretty sure the time for sponsorship approval is sepearte from the 13 months or whatever it is for mexico now. So you have to add the 2 steps together to get the whole waiting time. :( But from what I have read here, usually in Mexico most people wait a lot less than 13 months after...

yes a friend recommended it to me. I thought it was kind of sketchy at first, but no...it is great! :)

yay! For me it was slightly less stressfull once all the papers were sent, because you don´t have to be running around and making sure you have everything. But now I feel like it´s all out of my control and i´m a lot more impatient hahah

Check this site: www.cheapoair.com I always use it to book my flights. Except prices are in USD. But it´s pretty cheap! Also usually they have stop over in the US.

Ohhh good to know! I feel a lot less paranoid now! Time is going by faster than what I thought! :D

We got out sponsorship approval 2 months ago (Jan 31st) and haven´t heard from mexico yet....should we be worried or just need a little more patience?

Thanks Huron! Will check it out...we are actually planning on living in Calgary, at least for a little while. Maybe U of C has something similar. Will have to check into it! :)

Thanks for the info! I will check it out! Yes he is defenitely willing to go back to school, he was thinking of doing so anyways. He is willing to do a whole new program if he has to...but it would be good if his degree from here is recognized in Canada too! :)
