Oh great, so now I'm going to have to fight someone to not ruin the stamps in my passport. I hope that's not the policy anymore! When I got my passport renewed through mail about 5 years ago they just clipped the corners of the passport. This time I will be going in person as I will only be in...

I haven't renewed it yet, but the last time I renewed my passport I mailed in the forms and on the form there was a box you have to check off that asks if you would like your old passport returned to you. They just clipped a corner on it, I guess to show it's invalid. I assume that's what will...

Thank you both for you advice. I will just send photocopies of the pages, and like you said, if they want to see it, then I can show it to them. Appreciate it, Tink

Hi, Sorry, I'm kind of all over the place and as things pop into my head I want to ask them so I don't forget them and have a zillion questions when time to submit it all approaches... Anyway, if the sponsor has an expired passport that shows many entries and exits into their spouse's country...

Thanks a lot, Leon. I appreciate the clarification. Tink

Hi, I'm trying to really understand my options and what my possible wait times will be for outland processing vs inland processing. I've got a good understanding about my visa office for outland processing, but I'm confused about the inland processing. From what I've gathered, for inland...

According to the CIC website, for family sponsorship from Cuba, majority of applications are processed within 8 months. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp#west

I asked the same question in another thread before as I will be sponsoring my future husband and have been living in Dominican Republic for the past 2 years. The response was, no, the sponsor doesn't need a police check if they've lived out of country for 6+ months. Here's the thread...

I agree, it is unjust that there can be such a large difference in processing time in offices, especially for the family class. It's as though someone from one area of the world has more of a right to be with their family than others from another area. 3 years is a ridiculous amount of...

I don't know for sure, but would it not be a lot easier and less hassle/confusing if your wife keeps her maiden name until the process is finished? Especially because she will be going to Canada so soon after the wedding, she won't necessarily have time to change all of her id over legally to...

If they don't want to give their finger prints, then they can stay out of Canada. Easy as that. Like everyone else has said, if they are honest then they won't have a problem providing their fingerprints.

Arlette, Don't feel like it is your fault with the invitation letter. If they wanted to deny Carol, they would deny her, no matter what sort of info or proof you sent in. When my bf got his visitors visa, the letter my parents sent was only about a page and didn't give great detail about the...

West Jet does allow it. But I want to know if it will be a problem having a person land with a PR for the first time and also having a pet with them.

I know of a couple who lived together in Dominican Republic for 18 months and applied as common law once the spouse returned to Canada. They met the requirements. She went back to Canada to reestablish her life there so she would be able to support her husband when he got his PR to Canada. There...

Does anyone know if there would be a problem having a little dog (chihuahua) fly in cabin, on the same flight that the PR will be landing for the first time? If we do that, should I, the sponsor, be on the flight, or would it be ok if my future husband flies in, lands (with the chihuahua) and I...

Does the SPONSOR require a police check from another country they lived for more than 6 months?

I think the standard 8 1/2 x 11 would be best as that is what is normally used by most people on a daily basis. I imagine it may not really matter, but I would just go for the regular, letter sized, 8.5 by 11.

I say go for it. I know of a few couples (applying through the Santo Domingo office in Dominican Republic) who have recently received TRVs while their PR is in process. They had received TRVs before and were given them again even though they were in process now for PR. Make sure your wife still...

Yes, I know what you mean. I have been with my boyfriend for over 3 years now (he's from Dominican Republic) and I have been living in Dominican Republic for the past almost 2 years. We will get married in the summer of 2012, so by then I will have lived in DR for 3 years and been with him for 4...

ddobro2, I think the fact that you have now lived with your husband for the past 8 months before you sent your sponsorship application, that that will make void any concerns they would have had with the fact that you were phyiscally together for less than a week before the marriage. You have now...
