Thanks to you both!

Hello all, Am I right in thinking that I need to get an ID number from CIC before I have my husband (the sponsor/ I am outland) put in the request for CAIPS? This means that CAIPS notes will be available after sponsorship approval? I would have to give my husband a completed IMM5563B since he...

Thanks -- that is what I was thinking the right approach would be. Let's just hope it does not take more than 3 months until I hear from the VO (expiration date of certificate etc) ;-)

Hello, I have the following question regarding an outland spousal sponsorship application: - sent in the package to Missisauga except for the FBI cert: CIC told us it is ok to do so if we included the email correspondence regarding the late certificate between me and the FBI liaison and add a...

Just to update you guys, My husband called CIC today regarding the FBI certificate being sent separate later and they said: you can do this as long as you include a letter in your packet that states you have submitted it etc. So, I am including a note plus a copy of the email from the FBI...

And if so, do you think it gives them more of an insight rather than just what is in the procedure manuals? Do you think they are even allowed to read it? Do you think it matters? Do you think they care/have the time/inclination? Questions and curiosity .... :-)

Hi all, I was wondering -- how long after FBI received your request did they charge your CC/cash your money order? I am trying to estimate how long the requests sit unopened and then how long the actual research/fingerprints comparisons take. Thanks, penandpaper

Hello, I wonder if anyone has an opinion on this: My husband (the sponsor, Canadian born) will be taking a few of my boxes (university books, personal books, some personal souvenirs, a few kitchen things, only two coats - NO furniture or anything expensive) across the border into Canada. I...

Thanks, CharlieD10. I sent the FBI docs at the beginning of March but from Europe. Silly me did not mail it with a delivery confirmation (I know, I know...). I am just checking my credit card daily for the charge. I wonder if they charge it once they open the envelope or when they have...

Hello all, Have any of you included education diplomas when applying under spousal sponsorship (I am the one being sponsored)? Is this necessary? Or should I wait and see if they require them? (My high school one is from Europe, bachelor and grad school both from the US). And another...

Hm, interesting (I am applying under spousal sponsorship; will be living in Montreal). But I guess I cannot include any proof of finished classes since I will be submitting the application just weeks after I begin the 3 month course ("enclose with your Application for a Selection Certificate an...

Hello everyone, I have heard that authorities in Canada can refund fees for French classes taken at the the authorized Alliance Francaise schools around the world. I am not sure if this applies only to the Skilled Workers class or if Family Class applicants are also entitled to this? Does...

Thanks, rjessome. I guess I was not so clear about point 1, sorry about that. I understand that when documents are being translated the notarization will also be taken care of. What happens though with documents that are already in English that I need to send copies of -- for example a...

Hello all, I looked through the posts but did not find an answer to my question. I would really appreciate it if someone could share their thoughts and experience. I am including the email I sent to the Bucharest office -- all they said in their reply was to look at the CIC website. Sorry...
