    Open work permit for Outland Spousal Sponsorship Applicants

    Nope, they most certainly don't. Outland applications are handled exactly the same way, whether or not they are inside or outside Canada (the primary difference being that those inside Canada understand that they must return to their country of origin if an interview is required on their case)...

    Spousal In-Canada Sponsorship

    Helpful for what? Visa status has nothing to do with her application process under the spousal stream, except to verify legal status in Canada and determine eligibility for OWP. If the two of you are submitting an inland application, she can expect AOR1 45-60 days after the application is...

    Schedule A Background declaration

    If it was short term travel, then I'd indicate "travel, no fixed address" for the periods that you didn't have a specific residence. If you stayed with friends for more than a month, I'd list that address and then put that you were a house guest. Try to be as specific as you're able.

    Spousal In-Canada Sponsorship

    AOR--likely. OWP--current processing is estimated at 4-6 months so, while humanly possible, not very likely.

    Family class dependent child

    Your reading of this is incorrect. "...depended substantially on the financial support of the parent since before the age 22 AND be unable to support themselves financially due to a physical or mental condition." You are only able to sponsor a child over 22 due to the fact that they are...

    Police Certificate

    There is no "maximum age" requirements that I am aware of unless it is a document which specifically expires (such as the police check or medical exam), in which case, yes, it must be recent and not expired. Documents requested should come from the sources and times that are specified in the...

    Police Certificate

    It needs to be valid when they receive it. If you send them an expired PCC, they are going to return your app. Best course of action is to obtain a new PCC which will not be expiring anytime soon.

    Spousal Interview - Outland - is it a normal process to interview your spouse?

    It is not good or bad to have an arranged marriage. However, arranged marriages are not part of the western cultural norm; therefore, there's an expectation that the circumstances surrounding the marriage, and whether the relationship is genuine, will be scrutinized at a more thorough level.

    Because your marriage was arranged, you will automatically face greater scrutiny. As long as you are able to convince the interviewers that your relationship is genuine then you should be approved, so begin preparing now with documentation--chat logs, emails, phone records, pictures of the two...

    I have a 20 y/o daughter who's staying in the US and so had her medical done there (I'm already in Canada), hers cost nearly 700 CAD after the exchange rate (it was nearly 500 USD). Mine in Canada was a little over 200 CAD. It's insane.

    This is the easiest process: 1.

Prices vary based on who provides your prints. If you are in Canada, call your local...

    Spouse visa

    Not sure where you saw that, but no. There is no specific timeline on any part of the process. The only thing that the CIC says in regards to time is that you can expect an average of 12 months from acceptance. However, bear in mind that is only an average--some applications take longer, some...

    Police Certificate, US Citizen for Common-Law Sponsorship

    People report paper requests taking a while, sometimes months. There is no way to know. I'd advise applying for the PCC online, even though it's a duplicate request for you. You'll have your PCC very quickly that way. From the time I requested it, got my prints and mailed to the FBI...

    Alberta health care- upon arrival for new PRs?

    I'm in BC, but a quick scan of Alberta Health's website on moving to Alberta (http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/moving-to-Alberta.html) says this: "You are eligible for coverage on the first day of the third month following your date of arrival. If you apply later, the effective date of your...

    Police Certificate, US Citizen for Common-Law Sponsorship

    No, you need to send upfront. They require it now and if you send without the PCC you risk the application being returned to you unprocessed. Why is it taking so long for you? Did you not submit the online PCC request to the FBI? Once they get your fingerprints in the mail, you get your PCC...
