The call center will be open all weekend to take calls from those who have been affected by the typhoon.

Hey Jadarius, Aiman is correct. My husband was a failed refugee, our sponsorship file was received Dec 30 2011. We met with CBSA in June 2012 and they told us his PRRA has been refused (back when everyone could do the PRRA). We were told that they would go ahead with the deportation unless we...

AIP is approval in principle, it's not the same as the certificat de selection du Quebec. (I'm in Quebec as well and the CSQ basically means Quebec approves of the sponsorship, Quebec is the only province from what I know that has any immigration power) AIP means that the sponsorship has been...

Hi Kelon, I'm not much of an expert, all I know is really what I was told during our process. When my husband was informed that his PRRA was refused, we were told the only way to put a stay on his deportation was if we had AIP, even though we had started the sponsorship process before he even...

We got AIP July 5th and nothing yet... not even an update on Ecas... I'm trying not to get impatient... gotta wait until March 5th before I start to panic lol

Hey Stayalive88, Well the CBSA won't release the passport until the refugee case has been closed. You need to make an appointment with them so your wife can fill out all the necessary paperwork to renew her passport. They will send it to the consulate where she would go to finish the renewal...

Hi PMM, Thank you for the information. The thing is, my friend never received any notification concerning this, on the link you provided it states that they should have been notified. He initally had a PRRA meeting but it was cancelled, and he was told that they would get a meeting at another...

A friend of mine is married to a failed refugee claimant (as am I, but my sponsorship issues to this point have, thanksfully been resolved). Her husband had what they thought would be his PRRA meeting today but they found out that PRRA no longer exists, so it was basically a meeting with CBSA...

We had some problems where they were going to deport my husband if we didn't get AIP by August 18 :( We met with an Immigration Advisor about the deportation and she contacted Vegreville to ask them to speed up the process. A situation that made me almost lose my mind ended up helping us in the...

At the 1010 St Antoine office, you can walk in and speak with a security officer that has various forms that can be filled out and dropped off, we last went in July and August... There isn't any advisor you can actually speak with but the form we needed was available from him... But with all...

Hi, I am sponsoring my husband Inland... our application was received on Deccember 30 2011 and we received 1st stage approval (AIP) July 5th. All paperwork has been sent in Medical, background checks etc... but there hasn't been any update on ECAS stating medicals received or anything... Can...

Hi Marlene, You can go to your local CIC office and ask the person at the front desk for a form that you can fill out to make different requests. On that form, explain how he needs to renew his passport and that you would like to request a meeting to get all his paperwork filled out. IF CBSA...

My husband and I were in the exact same situation as you... We applied for inland sponsorship in December 2011 and my husband did his PRRA in April 2012. Then in June we met with the CBSA to renew his passport and that's when they told us his PRRA was refused. They gave us 60 days to get AIP...

Sooooo... we got a letter from the CIC today stating... "This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada Class. It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident as a member of the...

Thank God for this forum! :D My husband sent all the documents to the Mexican Embassy in DF overnight by UPS on 27/06 and it was received on 28/06. Ok, so from my understanding the Mexican Embassy will send the certificate directly to the CPC. Is there a way that I can find out when they send...

If we decide that both of us will go to Mexico, I would apply for a FM3 which is a long-term non-immigrant visa, I could also apply for a FM2 which is an Immigrant Visa which is renewable every year I believe and gives me the right to eventually apply for Mexican citizenship. I could get a work...

NBaker, thank you for all your advice. Greatly appreciated. He has an appointment this afternoon to renew his passport at the consulate. Once that's done, we're sending his fingerprints and whatnot to his mom in Mexico so she can get his background check done. We're hoping it'll go faster this...

Re: refugee claimant Hi Yaye, I saw your message but I am unable to send messages for some reason. My husband and I sent a few things to prove our relationship is genuine, we had 5 letters from friends and family writing about how they know us each individually and as a couple. My husband...

So, we did what you suggested. I spoke to someone at the CBSA (I finally found a number for someone there). We were sent a letter to go meet with an Immigration Advisor to fill out the paperwork to get my husband's passport renewed at CBSA. They will then send it to the consulate and once the...

Thanks for all the advice :) My husband actually went to the Mexican Consulate and got 2 letters from them, one asking the CBSA to release his passport. This seems to be an issue that has happened quite frequently, back in 2006 the Consulate had sent a "communique" to Immigration Canada stating...
