    Inadmissable for criminal record?

    It's not just you. I don't want to be rude, it's never my intention. But she committed a crime, she has to take the punishment. She may not like it, but it's true. But she can't just squeeze into another country because she's unhappy where she is, and hope to score a partner that's truly looking...

    Processing Times for Buffalo

    We got ours. When I got my fbi stuff back it had 3 pages, and one of them (the middle one) was the fingerprint card. It also states on the cic paperwork that it should be included.

    Statutory declaration of common-law union

    When I spoke to CIC they said you didn't have to have an income to support your better half. Or sorry, there were 'no' income requirements. BUT that may have just been in our case since it's Conjugal. I hope someone else can clear this up. As for the other topic at hand. We didn't need the...

    Finding work in Film in Vancouver

    I'm an editor and have my name on a couple of shows. But finding a job in Vancouver isn't easy, and in my field, even less easy. Vancouver is a great film industry, so you would think I would have no issues. But alas, I have no idea where to look. Networking is great and all, but I'm in the USA...

    Met a girl... wanting to move to canada... help!

    So nice to hear about your love. :D It's definitely not a quick process. If you get a visitors visa, it does expire. So I say, visit if you can, and start applying right now. Not for you visa, but for immigration, if that's what you're wanting. They want a lot of proof and documents, so this...

    When to do Medical

    You should do your medical closer to when you're ready to send your application in, is how I feel. Because they send it straight to the case center. You would want to make sure you're ready to go before paying the huge medical fee. Which was $355 for us. You probably only have to mail in a...

    Must I include pages that do not pertain to me?

    Thank you for that. I ended up finding the answer late last night. I will probably start a thread once I know the paperwork has been received. It's an absolutely nerve wracking feeling.

    Must I include pages that do not pertain to me?

    Thank you for responding. Last question as I don't want to start a whole new thread. I just paid my fees online and they ask for a client ID. I have no idea what that is. Looking through the sites now for info, but help would be appreciated. Or am I not supposed to write on the receipt, and...

    Must I include pages that do not pertain to me?

    I am getting mixed signals from the site and the checklist and when I called CIC. When I phoned, I was told we didn't need to attach the "Statutory Declaration of Common Law" since it didn't apply to us. I guess my question is the same for the "Use of a Representative." We aren't using one...

    Getting your items across the border on a truck

    A question about moving to Canada from the USA, which may have been mentioned but am a bit confused. Can I bring all of my items via Uhaul across the border (from USA to Canada), if I get approved by Immigration Canada. Or will I have to go through a process? I know all of the items you take on...

    worried about not filing tax

    Good question. My partner hadn't filed taxes for the last 5 years. So we are worried about that, too. No income, which is why.

    Processing Times for Buffalo

    I never heard of talking to Ottawa. We are to submit our paperwork to Mississauga and the medical I got, the doc is sending my results straight there. I've got my 1017 to mail in with my application. We also have the criminal background check/finger prints, passport stuff, photos, copies of...

    Right of Permanent Residence Fee

    From what I read on the cic website is, that if you do not pay your fee upfront when you submit your paperwork, that if they have to come and ask you for it, then it takes an additional couple to a few months to process. We are paying ours right up front because we want this to go as quick and...

    Still need help with Immigration photos

    Okay, I will keep that place in mind then. Sears said they could do the specifications I needed for 19.99 for the 4 photos. So I am going to try that first as 'in person' works best for me. But if that fails, I'll try your site. Thank you!!!
