    Oh, that's unfortunate. Print out new forms and don't forget to date and sign them. Most other documents are fine, but if you can print out new bank statements, do it. Make sure your payment option will be valid for the next four or five months. Your file should reach their office by the last...

If found ineligible they send you a negative eligibility decision and...

    1. Leave them blank. You'll be fine. (If you're still concerned, first get married, then fill out the forms. Problem solved!) 2. It says "full-time"; so, technically, your answer should be NO. You can write a note beside it (in ink) like "I have equivalent part-time work experience in Canada"...

    It's not easy to append new documents to an application without knowing its number! It's not necessary either, because they're gonna ask for your new passport anyways, if they approve your visa.

    They're not so strict on those things, especially for the miscellaneous forms. Don't worry! In most cases, you can't even tell what has changed in the recent form compared to the old one.

    If you need to travel abroad before you get your PR card, you'll have two options: 1. If your destination is in the US or you can devise a return route via the US (=you have a US visa or are visa exempt), you can cross the border in a non-commercial vehicle by showing a valid passport and your...

    Follow this link: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do Choose Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and give them your file number (or UCI) and ask for case electronic notes (and not the physical case)... choose to receive the notes via email (and not on a CD). It'll take about a month.

    1. You should update the previous letters if they were already complete and had the necessary details. I too think It's safer to reiterate the lead statement and duties (don't add anything that may look inconsistent with the original documents. they may think you've been misrepresenting...

    Unfortunately most large CIC posts are not easily reachable. You can try emailing them, but they don't have a phone line for the public. CIO‑Sydney‑Search‑Enquiry@cic.gc.ca They say you will get a reply only if it's been more than 10 weeks since your file has been received.

    yes you're right, I hadn't seen that link and relied on the response my friend said had received from the call centre. probably she just got it wrong.

    What do you mean "given the dimension of the building" ? 219 and 365 laurier west are the ministry's central buildings (= the minster of the crown works there). Don't think more than a few rooms are allocated to visa processing ;D
