Happens to many people. People leave all the time. If husband defrauded her and ruined years of her life why wouldn't she write to CIC about this? Too bad 2 year conditional PR is being abandoned.

There are no privileges for neither. Everything is up to discretion of the border guards. But as a US citizen with a work permit the likelihood of denial to return to Canada is quite low for you. Just understand that it's not 100% guaranteed. If you really worry about getting denied why not swap...

I think you're not in such a bad shape. I wouldn't put too much value on talking CBSA at the border. Whatever they tell you there is not any guarantee of what is actually going to happen if your wife arrives, it really depends on the agent. I'd say save your money, and apply for immigration now...

Sorry if I come so directly, perhaps I don't understand the full story, so let me ask: You're making $17/hour full time, so at least $2600 monthly, $2300 after tax. If you rented a room in Toronto for $650/month and spent a generous $650 on groceries, metropass, cellphone and utilities, that...

It's common for people to request long layovers to be able to see a city on the way. On many airlines you can request a layover of 48 hours before it's considered to be a stop rather than layover and having to pay for extra stops. It's normal.

Even if a year is the average that is way too long for families to be reunited considering that express entry applications are done within 6 months. What's the difference between the two? Only assessment of the relationship, which, believe me, does not take an case officer more than a couple of...

Hi all, In the guide it says "Birth and marriage certificates must be Government-certified true copies (copies certified as authentic by the issuing governmental authority, signed and sealed)." Does that mean that a photocopy of the original birth certificate notarized in Canada by public...

If she is not able to travel to Warsaw how is she able to travel to Canada? Why not just arrange her tickets to Canada through Poland and pick up the visa on the way here? Worst case find someone in Poland willing to do this for compensation to either pick up the visa with authorization or to...

Hi, I have a situation here and need some clarification - Does the police certificate need to be included with outland application if the sponsored person from Mexico is currently in Canada? But this page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/mexico.asp...

Basically looking for someone to join us this or next week in going to a notary public and do an affidavit that the birth certificate translation is accurate, in Downtown area. Will supply the translation. Will compensate $15. Has to be a non-family member, so....

If it was only about waiting for information that's one thing but we all know that in reality that is not the biggest issue in CIC's process. It's well known that many applications sit languishing until 'due date' for anyone to even look at them and start doing anything. If CIC issues a request...

Would you know where that requirement is stated?

Make it indirect. Have an agreement with a refugee sponsorship organization to contribute to their trust to sponsor another family. In return the organization sponsors the donating family without soliciting any payment for their sponsorship. The kind of rule you quote is created to prevent...

Since she's already in Canada, as a Syrian national she could probably easily get status of her own by applying as a refugee. In that case she'd have access to health care, can work or study without waiting years for sponsorship approval and no chance of deportations in case of visa overstay...

Are any of her siblings living in UK Canadian citizens?

Just a few months after combining outland processing times from by-country to combined looks like it's back to being split by country. Back when it was combined it was explained that supposedly the files can now be easily moved between processing offices. So did they lose the ability to move the...

If that's the rule how are outland applications being processed for anyone at all for those that are applying from within Canada at the time of application? What is meant by "residing in"? Very convoluted rules.

I guess it will take months if not years to see any effect in reality

Budget 2016 was announced today with a funding increase of $25mln in 2016-2017 to reduce family sponsorship processing times. Also 20 million $ for expansion of settlement programs. budget.gc.ca/2016/docs/plan/ch6-en.html#_Toc446106826 To be realistic, $25m dropped into government offices...

I think the question in case of outland application is whether you would be deemed inadmissible due to being in the country without status. If you don't have a departure or deportation order against you this inadmissibility is easily "cured" by leaving Canada. But how the processing works is a...
