Vo has just requested some documents from us and the way part of the request is worded is confusing: "Three (3) original and recent photographs for yourself (photographs must conform to the ALL specifications outlined in the Guide to Immigrating IMM 3999 and Appendix B Photo Specifications)"...

We have been waiting for the second stage approval for a few months. We just received an email saying my fiancee (the applicant) had to send in her passport, along with a few photos. Here is where it gets complicated for us. First of all, it says she has until March XX, 2013 to fly to Canada...

So we just received a letter from our VO here in Argentina too. They asked us to send in her Passport, and a few photos. There was a few confusing things about it near the end: "Please note: Your visa will be issued after reception of your documents and will be valid to enter Canada until...

Any news on this? Did you apply...what happened? I am in a similar situation.

Hi there - fiancee is awaiting PR sponsorship (we passed stage 1, and now the file is in the VO in Argentina). But it will be another few months and we were wondering if we could go to Canada and get started on her studies. Can she apply as a student visitor and study while awaiting Permanent...

that really sucks! I am sorry to hear that and I hope we can avoid the same fate! question about medicals: do they tell you you need to go get a new one after it expires, or are you just being dillgent? also, they are good for 12 months right? what about police records... do those need to be...

I'm here :)

Recently came across the details about Bill C-35, which makes it illegal for someone to give immigration advice if they are not accredited. At its core, the Act amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), making it an offence for anyone other than an authorized representative to...

does anyone know if we need to re-submit different forms (i.e. forms that we would have had submit if we were applying from out of country from the beginning?)

thanks so much for that!

anyone have any tips? mainly curious if we need to fill out new forms. as background - we were both living in canada when we applied. I was just approved as sponsor and now the file is being sent to Buenos Aires. meanwhile, we now have moved to BA for the next few months or year. wondering...

So this week we are going to send them an updated address for both of us. Should I include additional info such as... - How I will be making money while over seas? Proof from bank, employer? - What we will be doing together in Argentina? - Re-state our intention to return to Canada when...

Hi all - I was wondering what helpful resources you have found, or use, to complete your immigration applications, and answer questions when you have them? Aside from this forum (which is a life saver) and lawyers, what other places do you go to get help? If you have found another resource or...

What exactly has changed here? Does this mean that as soon as we get PR we have to live 2 years in Canada together?

Just go their response.... and I was approved! Thanks for everyone's advice - really helped me stay calm!

Just wondering what the 65 day wait time is for spousal sponsorship... From the day they received the physical application in the mail - or from the day they officially "opened it". There's quite a difference. Once they open it I assume it's pretty fast and straight forward, so I am guessing...

as background, here is what their email says to me: "When should I contact CIC? You must notify CIC of any changes to your application. Examples of changes include: • Changes in your personal circumstances, such as birth or adoption of a child, a marriage or a divorce • Change of contact...

so... we just received word that they opened our file and they just started the process to verify me as the sponsor. Wondering if now is the time to alert CIC that I have moved to Argentina (temporarily but still.. I am here for the next few months at least)? Or should I wait until they...

Argentina ... are we OK? :)

Now that I have sent in our application, hundreds of reasons why we will be denied are running through my mind. Maybe I should have included a cover page... maybe the week we are spending apart will cause our "common law" status to be revoked... etc. I might just be crazy, or I might just be...
