    Sending additional proof to VO?

    What would be the best way to provide additional docs that establish the genuineness of the relationship? I just thought of some additional proof that should help our case. I had already emailed the VO attaching some files, and since I had received no confirmation, I used the case specific...

    Quebec

    Is stand corrected, I should have said" "another way for the Quebec government to milk extra cash from its HARD WORKING citizens"" Everyone is entitled to their point of view ... I guess it depends on where someone stands. I'd be curios to see what you'd say if 45% of your income went to...

    Quebec

    You are contradicting to yourself - first you tell OP to learn French if planning to live in QC, then you tell them to learn in here for free :P :P :P OP only asked about the forms ... Of course it's a good idea to learn French for free once landed, plenty of establishments offer this...

    No need for option C; I only provided it along with employment letter because I hope they will forward it to the VO - it would show that there is no point for me to get married for money ...

    Did the processing times on the CIC website take a CRAZY JUMP?

    For Beijing, it went up from 5 to 6, then to 7 ... Have been eyeing New Delhi, it has gone up from 6-7 to 9. If you check the timelines on spreadsheets, you will see that these are highly exaggerated ... I guess they don't like to be bothered if some reason they are too busy drinking coffee...

    Only the forms filled out by your husband must be in French (there is English translation for them for reference only, but he must fill out the Frenchies) ... Don't worry about the French ... CSQ for family sponsorship is just a formality; another way for the Quebec government to milk extra...

    China Applicants Thread

    A bit confused about your timeline - you received your AOR on May 29 or stage one approval? They way I read your timeline is: you got your AOR on the 29th, then CIC advised you that you were approved (and file being sent to Beijing) on June 19th, and Beijing asked for passport on the 26th?

    Taiwan medical exam sent to Manila?

    Hi, We had similar issue with our medical exam. My wife did it in Bangkok, but since she is a student in China, we asked the results to be forwarded to the Beijing office. She was told the same thing - it MUST go to MNL. I called CIC, and the agent who answered the phone (after good 30...

    I wouldn't worry, mine was 1 pound (450gr) and it was approved - I saved weight by printing pictures on regular letter size paper (4 on each page), print only pages of chat logs from different dates (but stated explicitly that it wouldn't be responsible to kill trees by printing out thousand of...

    Quebec spousal PR application checklist

    There is no "secret" forms that CIC sends you with the approval - the info is available on the imm QC website - I had prepared mine in advance and sent them the day I received my CIC approval (although it takes less than 1 hour, make sure you have the form signed by your spouse ready)...
