If you think negative and worry, you draw the situation upon yourself. Get a passport pouch with neck strap and carry it everywhere with you on your chest. You will be fine. It surely bring nothing if you think all the time about the passport. Some people would be happy to be in your situation...

Just explain all the way you did here and it should be fine. It does not matter when the reception happened. Just document everything on a timeline and explain why you both did what you did. You will be fine.

Sure it will be done before October 2013. I shoot for April 2013. 2 months stage 1 and 10 months stage 2. Could be realistic.

Its life. Its unfortunate but we have to deal with it if we want or not. I would fight them tooth and nail and if my country does not allow my family to be together than I am rejected and will leave to have a family. Thats all to it.

Marty, I have two kids from my former marriage and they have only chatted with my wife over msn. None of my family was able to come to the wedding. What I have done is ask people to post a comment on a picture i put up on facebook and people who know us comment on that one. I am actually for the...

Just start reading the CIC site and take it from there. Its all explained: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp

That is what is stated on the CIC page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

Mail it in and courier it in and you have a receipt as proof you have sent it. Of course CIC does not want to deal with people walking in. It should make no difference, just mail or courier it.

No worries Marty. you are way ahead. The Interview will be great. I have been in one when I immigrated from Germany to Canada. Mine was rough but I was determined and this is what they want to see, determination and evidence. Take all you have between when you applied and than. Visualize you...

You need to translate them but it is ok to do the translation yourself.

Yes, I think you will be done in no time Fencesitter. My application will be faster with CIC but you will probably get finished faster. Good luck to us all.

Great Fencesitter. I still will wait for the original as every bit of showing determination will help. Besides, my wife would eat me alive if I send the docs off without the original. Guess that's proof enough that our relationship is genuine. Haha Yes, I wish they would update their documents...

They copy the original and notarize the copy. The copy will have either a stamp and signature on it or a seal mark. The front letter is just the guarantee of the notary public that she certifies that the copy is the copy of a original she has seen. All is fine the way it is. Keep the original...

Just get 10 photos and put on the back of one your name and date of birth. That way they see who that photo is supposed to be and they have the 8 plus one extra. I have read many posts here stating different things and got confused too. This way you give them more than they need. I read that...

Yes, you can pay only online or a canadian bank. Here the link to the page that explains online payment: https://eservicesak.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

Marty, how did you pay for the fees? Online or at the bank? Whats the best way?

Good luck. Sorry that I have opened a can of worms. I was shocked myself when my wife said that what I have is not the original and she is going to get the original. She did and got it. Thats why I had to wait till now with all documents. They could have been done 2 weeks ago. Be careful though...

I did not pay attention when we picked the certificate from the police station up. My wife was all over it. What you describe is what I have already in my hand here in Canada and its obviously not the original police certificate as it comes from the notary. In Zhuhai we had to go to 2 different...

I would send the medical with your application. Often you have to resubmit medical as it expires by the time they work on the documents in the country where the applicant lives. They will send you a email or letter asking for medical at that time. As far as I know you have to go to a from Canada...
