The outland processing times depend on the embassy that will take care of your file. So if the processing times in HK are about the same as the inland procedure, then it is the same, yes...

by regular mail, they need an actual copy. Nothing else will be accepted. Also make sure you send the original, as a copy won't be accepted.

I have a little question: when you received a note from Buffalo telling you to send something that you had already sent, what did you do? Did you send them an email, or...?

FYI, "acknowledgment of receipt" from Buffalo received today per email :) Please update the spreadsheet accordingly :) Thank you :) !

Acknowledgment of receipt from Buffalo received today by email :))))

I am seriously sick and tired of people speaking another language than English on here. It is disrespectful and if this continues I will report these people to the moderators of this website. Enough is enough, seriously. You've been told many times, nicely, to stop this behavior and yet you keep...

You CANNOT sponsor someone if you have not lived with that person for at least a year or if you are not married. You cannot sponsor your foreign partner if you haven't lived with him for a year. You need evidence. And if you remarry right after divorcing, it will most probably be rejected cause...

You're very welcome :) Good luck !!!

I said Buffalo, but I meant the visa office that takes care of your file. :)

Yes, it's fine. Just add a cover letter explaining why you haven't included it. We only recently sent the FBI clearance letter since it took over two months to get it. We just added a cover letter with it and Mississauga still approved the sponsorship and forwarded the file to Buffalo. Buffalo...

No, nothing to do. The "conditional permanent residence" law hasn't come into effect yet so you have nothing to worry about. And yes, let the CRA know asap as you're required to advise them or marital status changes. You'll have to file your taxes as single from now on.

I am confused, I thought that Canadian offices don't place a stamp in passports anymore starting December 1st 2011? Why are people still requested to send in passports? Are these passports in question from countries that require visas to even visit Canada? If this is the case, then it would make...

I'm pretty sure that there are flight options that avoid spending the night in a city, even though that might entail a higher price.

The sponsorship has to have been approved already. If you send it now (for example), you would be approved within something like two months (according to current processing times), so if the visa expires before then, then she needs to apply for a visa. But if lets say her visa expires in August...

No, it is actually true, I called my former immigration consultant and he said yes, it is the case, as long as the sponsor (e.g. you) is still eligible !

If you have your file number, then yes, send anything you want with a cover letter.

Good news (looked it up for you), as per new law spouses and common‑law partners of Canadian citizens and lawful permanent residents in Canada who apply for permanent resident status are no longer required to have legal immigration status provided that they have an eligible sponsor. All other...

Yeah that's fine. Along with all the evidence you have such as congratulation cards from friends and relatives, receipts for the rings, etc... Anything you have will be fine. If they need more evidence, you'll know. We had a very small ceremony with just one friend and went to the restaurant...

Thank you, much appreciated :)

Sorry, I misunderstood: I thought you meant the spreadsheet for the December people that you would create now (January) :P Sorry :)
