    Are these questions the same ?

    Exactly the same date twice!!! From Record of Landing/Confirmation of Permanent Residence or PR Card... I'm sure you MUST have at least one of these documents. If not, you can always apply and get a certified copy of ROL/CPR from CIC (at a $30 fee). Or try and phone them and ask if they can tell...

    spouse sponsorship living away from husband for a year now

    Is your husband a permanent resident or citizen of Canada? Absence of visits in itself will not be a negative factor. They are considering all the documentation that you have already submitted a year ago and will base their decision on them... (Unless they call you for an interview, and even...

    Can I make a section called "Photos" and put them all together there?

    It's fine to do that. When we sent in our app, we haven't bothered to reference pics in the forms/questionnaire. Just stacked colour photocopies of the pics all together (about 6/page) and added handwritten captions to each (not too specific, like, wedding, honeymoon trip, etc). Do any way you...

    Relationship Proof: Already in Canada

    The website gives averaged statistics for 80% of the cases during the past 12 months... So yes, it can be faster for sure, for 'routine' cases and if their current wait queue at the time they receive your app from CPC-M is smaller. But from my observations, these statistical timelines are...

    Relationship Proof: Already in Canada

    Well, look at what's happening to the Old World as the result... :( At least here there's some sanity in the immigration process, but plenty room for abuse and fraud anyways, unfortunately.....

    Relationship Proof: Already in Canada

    You guys own a house together for the past 12 months, do I understand you correctly? What proof on itself can be more solid? Any correspondence during this time addressed to your names together or separately? Purchases, like furniture and stuff by you both? Any of the friends visited you guys...

    Of course you can. But why send in 150??? A lot fewer is quite enough. But it's up to you.

    Relationship Proof: Already in Canada

    We didn't have a scanner so we went to a UPS store and had colour photocopies done of 6 pictures per page, then added description by handwriting. As for what to include or not, "the more the better" but at the same time be reasonable. Think of if you're trying to convince a logical person. And...

    Relationship Proof: Already in Canada

    Can you clarify if you are spouses or common-law partners? As you know, if you guys are in common-law marriage, then on top of proving the relationship is bona fide you have to prove co-habitation for at least 12 past months. Just in case you haven't gone through these forms, they will give...

    If there's not enough reasonable documentary evidence. It's not enough just to "say" that you guys love each other and that it's not a marriage of convenience. You have to prove it with different types of supporting documents, outlined in the application checklist and also the spouse...

    Status on my son's application. Postive or Negetive?

    What is your question? Submit what they request ASAP. It doesn't matter why they're asking for the proof of Cdn residency, you just need to comply as best you can. It could be a part of CIC's recent crack down on immigration fraud where people claim they live in Canada but don't provide...

    Can being a reference in Cash Advance negatively affect me?

    No you definitely can't... But you can always forgive anyway.. :) Well, depends how close and dear the friend is and if they stop setting you up like that... Sometimes we call people friends who really aren't. Things like that can happen, none of your fault. On the bright side, it's a little...

    Ok to sponsor my common law spouse if I am currently unemloyed?

    Inland processing times used to be much shorter than they are now. In 2008, it took my wife and son about 5 months all in all inland. My niece applied in 2009 inland too and is receiving her PR only now in Feb 2012 = 20 months... In our cases, we had no much choice as the sponsored family had...
