You talk about that consent form all the time. Everyone on here has the ability to apply for themselves and thus avoid that form. The sponsor can apply for their own notes no matter where they are. There isn't a special set of notes that you get by having that consent form. You'd use that form...

Cool. Let's see how that goes. I feel like we have all been on this forum for a while but my notes didn't have much movement aside from the fact that all of the correspondence with CIC has been recorded and the info on my file is up to date. It did have that SIR code and nice bold letters...

Sorry, didn't realize you were the expert after filing a total of one ATIP request. My main point was that you don't need that consent form to ask for information about yourself. Would you like me to forward you my GCMS notes so you can see for yourself?

Yes, you can be in Canada without status. Many people are. You can apply for this particular immigration class while out of status. Some people are applying for restoration of status. CBSA doesn't come kick the door in when your visa expires and put you on the next plane out. You don't just...

Profiler, come on man. This question is asked often, so at least give the correct information. There is no requirement to have status in Canada, it is only required that if you are not a citizen or PR that you be currently present in Canada, which almost everyone on this forum is. It doesn't say...

Great, that's even easier then. I think you just need to apply for the study permit and you are good to go. I think there are many cases where a student graduates, gets a PGWP, finds out there aren't any good jobs and then goes back to school for a masters. Full-time/part-time doesn't matter as...

Benlie, You can apply for a study permit, here is the FAQ page about this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=483&top=15 You don't get any special consideration for the study permit by having lodged a PR application. I don't know your status currently, but maybe you fit...

Haha, what? Probably related to you selecting 'non-document' instead of 'document' for the package or some other paperwork issue. There is nothing to declare for sending documents. It is not normal for customs to hold documents as there is no import/export duty to be paid. You have the airway...

They may have just entered the info off of the marriage licence, or that's the name on the Option C Printout, etc etc. CIC works in mysterious ways and they would need to check both names regardless. There are many stories like this on the forums and in the end it doesn't seem to have any...

For me, sent PCC to CIC on Jun 20, received confirmation of receipt on July 14. That doesn't mean they have done anything with it though.

Weak. Alberta has the same rule (only one DL allowed) but have heard you can request they mail the foreign licence back to the home country instead of getting it destroyed. Not sure of all the details on that, but too late now anyway.

You did the right thing sending it back to your yourself instead of directly to CIC. Make a copy/scan for yourself when you get it like profiler suggested.

FedEx should let you pre-pay the courier fee from Jamaica to your address in Canada. It's only going to be documents coming back so the fee is fixed. Fold the envelope in half and stuff it in the FedEx envelope you are sending down there. I've done with this with FedEx and UPS in the past. Both...

Bex, you don't need to be a citizen or permanent resident to apply. You simply need to be currently living in Canada, which you are (I assume). So you can skip that consent form and apply for yourself under the Privacy Act. To send a request you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident...

I would propose that the possibility of finding a companion who isn't from the same country as you as the main reason for this immigration class existing. But yes, anyway...

None of those things matter for a spousal sponsorship PR application. They don't care about her ability to function alone in Canadian society, they only care about her relationship to you. There is no requirement for IELTS.

Ok, fine. How about this upfront IELTS test in your profile - I'd question your lawyer's advice if that was their recommendation as well.

This is in the FAQ. There's no official recommendation either way. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=248&top=28

Are you talking about Ecas? The sponsor has a separate UCI than the applicant, try using that instead of the application number as a reference. It is always possible (unlikely) that they input your birthday wrong which would cause problems. Are you able to access with the applicant info? If so...

Awesome vaya! Thanks for the summary, especially the interview part. Good luck to you.
