    applying to sponsor pregnant commonlaw 2015

    Yes, it is perfectly legal to enter Canada as a visitor and then submit an application for PR. However, when u get to the border, it is unwise to use language while talking to CBSA such as moving, as u currently have no right to "move" to Canada until you have the proper PR status. You will be...

    Spousal sponsorship

    The receipt is used strictly for refund purposes, should the application be cancelled or refused. If it is your credit card, you should put your information. And you're correct to leave the client Id number blank if u don't have one yet.

    They sell similar things to this, in plastic and paper at Staples. Check Dollarama first to make sure there is nothing similar for cheaper.

    You might want to ask this question in the thread for New Dehli applicants, as they will have a better idea of how quickly things happen, like scheduling an interview. When an interview is called, you're not to send any other proof or documents to the visa office ahead of the interview; you're...

    Since you're working and a resident f the U.S., you won't have to pay taxes in Canada. You can show your US tax assessment in place of the Candian one. Showing your pay stubs for the past 12 months was also good. No need to worry. You won't have to pay taxes in Canada for what u already paid in...

    Answer when you met her first and were first friends. They are asking when you met, not specifically romantically involved. You can explain that you were friends first and became romantically involved later, but let them know when you first met.

    Discrimination against visible minorities in Canada

    Re: Discrimination in Canada against visible minorities I too am a white woman, born and raised in Canada (for generations in my family I might add) and I too have been mistaken for a retail worker in a store. This does not make anyone a rasist! They saw your nice attire and thought you were...

    Yes, this would be implied status. Just to be sure, the OWP is going along with an Inland application, correct? OWP doesn't accompany an OUTLAND application.

    barcode

    That may depend on what immigration officer opens your application. It is not obligatory to do your application on the computer, so all the forms could be hand written. However, each immigration officer will have what they prefer and how they handle matters.

    barcode

    The hand written information wouldn't be encoded in the bar code. If it's so,etching that could fit in the format you wished to write in by hand, it's not a problem. If you changed something on the form and just didn't feel like redoing the form and bar code, well, it would be best to take a few...

    She can't get an OWP at port of entry on a TRV. She will have to apply for a work permit and whatever company that will hire her will have to pay $1000 for LMO and prove that there are no Canadians or Pars that are able to do the job.

    To Represent or not

    It doesn't have a big effect on the application. I was representative to my husband because he doesn't have steady Internet access and if something were mailed, it's more likely it would get lost going to him than to me. Not to mention his cell phone provider had lots of issues, so we felt more...

    Spousal sponsorship

    This shouldn't be a problem. There is no minimum income requires for spousal sponsorship. CIC just wants to know that the sponsor will be able to support the spouse. To prove that he will be able to financially sponsor you, your husband can show the income from his current 3 part time jobs, he...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Oh yes this will be perfectly fine! Obviously when a couple is serious about each other they want to try to visit the other's home! You weren't married or common law at the time so she didn't need to mention you in it. I think it would be stranger if a couple never tried for a visitor visa! No...
