    Advice on intricacies of applying for TRV while a PR app is being processed

    Help, please, and thanks. Outland PR app was received in Mississauga on Monday, May 30, with everything but my wife and step-daughter's medical exams being completed. Their medical appointment was on Friday, June 3rd, and a CIC agent indicated that I could still submit the PR application...

    CIC News - Spousal backlog and wait times

    Wow!!! So VERY excited! Our outland PR app was received in Mississauga on Monday, May 30th. I hope that it qualifies as being "in the system" for the June 13th cutoff for quicker processing. I wonder what that means regarding the current posted average Ukraine processing time of 10 months...

    URGENT, Please - Medical Exams (Outland PR App)

    Good day everyone. I will be so happy when all of this is over, and foolishly, I thought it would be after I submitted all of our paperwork to Mississauga last Friday, but now we have another snag that requires urgent assistance, because it appears that the advice I receive from the CIC in...

    Transitional Provision Fee??? What do I pay?

    Ugh, never saw any mention of a "transitional provision fee" in the guide that the CIC agents keep referring me to, and now it's time to pay, print the receipt, and FedEx my documents. Could the language/wording be any more confusing? . . . And, English is my native language! Some help from...

    Blue or Black Ink?

    What about if I trace over the blue ink with a black pen? Any thoughts? Honestly, a person can execute million dollar real estate deals with blue ink. Why the seemingly senseless rigour from the CIC?

    Blue or Black Ink?

    Honestly! I'm normally VERY careful and precise, but apparently, I spent too much time focusing on what I thought were the really important parts of my wife and step-daughter's PR application, like the information and details! Now, I discover a detail, that granted, I missed, but didn't think...

    Child Custody/Consent for Immigration Form?

    Thanks so much canuck_in_uk! I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I'm being very careful in reading all of the info and downloading the right documents . . . or so I thought, but where on God's green earth did you find that and why isn't it included in the region specific forms (Eastern...

    Child Custody/Consent for Immigration Form?

    Ok, so after talking with my wife, her ex-husband can't find a notary to notarize the custody declaration because the notaries are all concerned that there is no indication on the declaration about where exactly this document is to go/who is requesting it. I'm not really sure why people in...

    Confused When to get the Medical Examination done for PR?

    I have the same question! I actually got through to the CIC telephone agent the other day, and she hesitatingly advised that we could still do the medical in advance of PR paperwork being sent to the CIC, and that when the CIC received the medical report, they would just "hold it" until the PR...

    Child Custody/Consent for Immigration Form?

    Ugh, it seems as if it is two steps forward and three steps back when it comes to Ukraine and dealing with notaries, translators, and government officials! Love the country and love the people . . . but the crap bureaucracy is driving my wife and I crazy! I would appreciate your advice...

    Medical Exam for PR Application - When?

    Just wondering what the prevailing wisdom is on when to get a medical exam done for a PR application. My wife and step-daughter are in Ukraine, and we are putting together the paperwork for an outbound family sponsorship application. Given that the current listed processing time is 17...

    Hello all. I'm heading to Ukraine in 23 days to marry my fiancee and immediately after our civil service, the issue of our marriage registration, as well as both her national and international passports, we are then going to submit paperwork to the CIC for an outbound family class sponsorship...

    Ukraine: Family Class Questions/Possible Complications?

    Hi all. In advance, thanks for all the patient and helpful assistance. My Ukrainian fiancee and I seem to have determined that while being apart for 18 months for an outbound application, while less than ideal, is the possibly the quickest, safest, and easiest way to bring here and her daughter...

    Ukrainian on TRV & PR app but child in Ukraine. Can child join parent in Canada?

    Good day. Like so many of you, my story is both similar and yet unique enough that I don't have a clear answer to my dilemma, so I'm turning to the experts here, because trying to get through to the CIC is next to impossible, and I can't afford to waste time. In advance, thanks for reading...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. ! :) Not to worry chickenkiev, the little head has had absolutely NO part to play in this decision. I'm not "one of those guys", and my trip wasn't one of "those kinds" of trips. The pace of our relations is definitely something my own mother and babushka...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Good evening everyone. As much as I really hate to add to the length of this Leviathan post, I am compelled to post and seek the sage advice of the experienced posters here. I would have sent a private message to Leon, but I don't have that option available, and it seems like he, and a select...
