What aggressive tone? canuck hasn't used inappropriate language. Your "accurate information" is very misleading, because it would make the OP believe the chances of something similar happening to her are high, when in fact they are not. How could you possibly know if the best option for OP was...

That's not how it really works. The translator just needs to be certified. Like I said before, affidavits are not necessary. As a matter of fact, some translators won't write such affidavits, stating that obviously their translations are accurate. I think it still mentions the affidavit thing...

That is incorrect. A certified translator in Brazil will be recognized by Canada. OP doesn't need an affidavit nor a notarized statement from the translator. What you are talking about is in case the translator isn't certified (or official) by any government. Clearly, OP used a certified...

Hi. You should stop worrying about it, your timeline seems pretty normal. I have seen cases where it's taken 2 months to get the passports back, even more than that. I understand you are impatient, waiting for the passport back feels like ages. Just be aware that it can take several more weeks...

Mexico VO is incredibly slow. Have you ordered GCMS notes recently? I am not familiar with your case so I wouldn't have an opinion as to why it's taking that long for you, other than the fact that your VO is really slow.

Hi. Considering that your boyfriend is American, there is no legal nor immigration barrier preventing you to either become common-law or getting married. Not wanting to get married nor what's financially doable to establish your common-law relationship are not barriers that would make you...

You should contact your VO immediately. They will let you know what you have to do to add your spouse to the application, whether it's accompanying or not. Most importantly, you do not land in Canada until you get a new Confirmation of Permanent Residency. If you land with the document you have...

Yes, that would count. You will need proofs of that though, it's not always that easy to prove cohabitation, so keep that in mind.

I am not sure, but I believe it's not exactly the same as the usual H&C in Canada. So the rates of success might be higher than those.

For immigration purposes, you become common-law after having a conjugal relationship with someone and living with that someone in the same place, and continuously for a complete year. Once you've reached that, you are considered common-law. Of course, you will need to prove that cohabitation...

Not exactly correct. IRCC can still approve applications where the sponsor is ineligible, that's why they have that option. They can proceed on H&C grounds to approve such cases. There have been several applications that went this route successfully.

Hi. I am assuming that your wife already landed in Canada and is already a permanent resident of Canada. If that is not the case, you will be committing immigration fraud unless you report this to IRCC, or withdraw the application. Assuming your wife is a PR already, then that means you cannot...

I think it's more like, they have a different department that prints all the visas. So they print visas for the applications that the other departments send them, like permanent residency, TRV, work permits, study permits, all of them. And then they print the visas in the order from which they...

Hi guys. My wife sent an email to the embassy in Bogota, since I am in a very tough situation at my home, where I live with my two brothers, my mother and my mother's husband. They've got my passport since December 6th, day of my interview, and my medical exam was passed on January 29th, which...

It is impossible to take an upfront medical since December 2016. You will have to wait until you are requested to get one. Pregnant women are not exempt from the chest x-ray exam, but they can take it, since it doesn't cause any problems to the baby nor the mother. If the woman in particular...

There are three different, separated streams you could apply for to sponsor a partner. Those are spousal, common-law, or conjugal. If you get married, you can only apply for the spousal sponsorship application. So, if you get married, you don't need to become common-law to apply for an app...

Hi there. Same-sex marriages are legal here in Colombia since 2016, so you two can get married now, which would make you ineligible to apply for a conjugal application. You should get married or establish a common-law relationship, which you get when you live together continuously for one...

That's most likely exactly what it is. Probably OP thought medical exams don't expire so he wouldn't need to take another one even though he was requested for a new one.

You should have taken another medical exam, why didn't you do that? Your first medical exam is from 2016 so it's now expired. The only mistake here is that you haven't taken the medical exam again, as you were requested on November 11th, 2017. I assume you're saying that day you got a request...

Count 3-4 months from the date you just mentioned.
