glad to hear the process is over for you, and welcome to Canada to your husband :-) Vancouver Island is nice indeed :-)

Hey, for spouse sponsorship, there is no income requirement. What CIC wants to see if that you have a plan as a family and are not likely to go on welfare. So : in your case, get a letter from your father stating that you're currently staying at his house with your son, and that your husband...

Thanks for the compliment :-) Not swedish indeed but lived there for a while. Victoria-based :-) I can confirm, it's a nice place to live, but Vancouver is not bad either :-) especially now when the rest of the country is covered in snow (but well - for Swedes that's probably OK!). For...

if you're able to prove 2 years in Canada out of 5 consecutive years, then it's all good. So - if you've landed in Canada, then left for 2 years, and came back, no worries.

There is no inland sponsorship for kids only so you don't have another choice anyway! 8 months for inside Canada is first stage only, total process is more like 8 + 8 months - but not applicable in your case if you're thinking about sponsorship your kids only, without the mother ( if her PR is...

Welcome to the thread and the waiting game :-) I can add you to the spreadsheet, just let me know when exactly your application was received in Mississauga (as well as the rest of the info : medicals done, visa-exempt or not, and I suppose you're married?). It seems that some of the applicants...

We don't really hate many people around here! :-) PNP applicants usually get faster to Canada, because of the employment offer beforehand, but spousal via London is usually not too bad (for the majority of cases!), so you're welcome to hang in there even if you're going through a different...

no - there is no way to request it by email. If you don't have the sponsor approval by the time you travel, you can also use the fee receipt to show that you have applied for PR, that should also be OK. there is also a good chance that you won't be asked anything at the border, but it's better...

Welcome to the thread - and good luck with your application. you can use either : file number + applicant info (starting with F) or UCI + Sponsor info. If you use the File number + applicant info, you will see both the sponsor and applicant info, if you use the other one, only the sponsor part...

Congrats! it should be all good - landing on the way back after a nice week end, a good way to celebrate! :-)

*WHere is your future wife studying? EU is quite large... if she is studying in the UK, or any scandinavian countries, and has been admitted with a visa for a year ( she doesn't need to have been there for a year, but her visa should be for at least a year), then she can choose the visa office...

For those who are worried about the income level - don't worry about it. CIC won't deny a sponsor unless they are on welfare. If you're not on welfare, and have provided reasonable information about how you intend to support yourself and your family, you'll be fine. If CIC has doubts, they will...

I think it depends on the passport - I crossed the border and wasn't asked to pay for anything... to add to the previous post : you won't get a work permit half way through, so if you're offered a job, make sure your employer knows that he has to get your a work permit (unless you're going to...

You can't sponsor him before you get married. To sponsor him, you have to be either common-law (living together for 12 months continuously, and I understand that is not an option for you), or married (or conjugal partners, but you would have to prove that there is a legal barrier preventing you...

Inland is definitely not the best option in his case! Outland is. First stage is 1 month, and Sydney is a fast VO - quite a few people get done in 4 to 5 months. So - with outland, the OP could have his PR in less time than it would take for CIC to look at his inland application first stage...

if you apply inland, leave the country and then not let in again, your PR application is deemed abandoned... and you will have to start all over again. In your case, it seems that you insist on inland, where you have an IEC (do not benefit from implied status), and you need to leave the...

Congrats! :-) at the border you need: your passport, and the COPR. just make sure that they sign your COPR (not difficult) but also put a stamp on your passport and they write the COPR number in it - with that in hand, you can go to Service Canada and get a SIN the same day if you want! The PR...

Congrats, glad to see it all went well, and welcome to Canada :-)

if you're from NZ there is no reason to apply inland, as Sydney is one of the fastest offices. You're most likely be done with outland before they even start looking at the inland application. I think NZ has a second year IEC. so once you qualify for CL, apply outland. In the meantime, try to...

my sponsor was unemployed (was a student abroad and we moved to Canada once he was done studying), and didn't have a job lined up, and he was approved. If you can show that you have a plan (staying with family, making some minimum money etc.) to support yourself and your family without going on...
