    carseats?! illegal

    Wow. All I can think is if you don't like our laws then don't live here. I think it's a good thing we care about kids and want to have them safe. Stop ragging on our government for keeping guidelines strict. Isn't a child's safety worth it? It's got nothing to do with quality of our...

    VIENNA OFFICE

    I think you are right about proving you will return to Canada and be able to sponsor him. I think this will make things more difficult. Maybe you should also post this as an original post on the family class site. I'm sure one of the more senior members could advise you better about this...

    Proof of relationship

    Just make sure you have a good variety of evidence. Not just wedding photos. We had a lot of photos that showed us with friends and family, letters from friends and family and screen shots from blog posts of ours and other peoples. We were very aware that this kind of evidence may be needed so...

    VIENNA OFFICE

    Not that it really matters now, but I got the CAIPS notes today. All 22 pages of it. Lots of '0's next to the comments. But the only and best note was "I am satisfied this marriage is genuine....interview waived." Well, I knew that! But it's nice to see that in print. Anyway, still...

    Permanent Resident Card

    I'm a bit confused about this. For new PR's does an application have to be submitted or does this card come automatically after proof of landing?

    Do you recommend immigration consultants?

    Do it yourself, but have someone, maybe your spouse if possible or a trusted friend to check over everything. Before my husband returned to his country, we spent 10 hours (it was a rainy day anyway) filling out those forms, arguing over the fine points before we felt satisfied we had done...

    Yay. Vienna received my husband's passport today, it only took a day to get there! Hopefully they will process it quickly.

    VIENNA OFFICE

    All this great news for Vienna applicants! My husband couriered his passport today. Well, he has a lot of things to do before he leaves. We didn't think it would be so fast. Anyway, he's booked a flight through Hungary/Frankfurt/Vancouver the first week in November. It's much cheaper that...

    I am so happy for you. Your patience and encouragement kept us positive. Even though our wait was much shorter at times it seemed endless. Happy times! Break out the rakija!

    Landed

    Welcome to Vancouver. Good you could land during this nice weather! My husband will land in November. Hopefully it won't be too rainy.

    Pictures with comments?

    Yes, put comments. But, don't you think 100 photos is a bit much? They won't look at that many. We submitted maybe 20. A couple of wedding photos, and then most of the others are us together with family and friends or on holidays.

    Address Disappearing August 2011

    I have the double lines now. Just started today. And it says that under sponsorship it is in process and they started processing on April 8th. But my sponsorship was already approved in March. Besides that my husband got a PPR on Friday and will get his visa soon. There must be a glitch...

    B4 and B4a and shipping personal effects

    Okay, so I read further and it seems like you fill out the B4a, listing all your things (though it does say list things with you and list the things coming later separately). The officer looks at the B4a and then fills out a B4. (which I think you can fill out most of the details beforehand?)...

    B4 and B4a and shipping personal effects

    Sorry, but I can't find a thread about this topic. Is there one? I understand that 2 copies of each form are needed when declaring goods brought in. But I don't understand why the two forms. What is the difference between them? You have to list the effects, but on the B4 there isn't as...

    National Background checks???

    Background checks are done and they've requested his passport! It's kind of ironic that today I said, "That didn't take so long!", even though the waiting seemed unbearable at times. Well, maybe everyone is off summer holidays now and the checks will go through more quickly now. Fingers...
