    COPR and visa for non exempt passport

    First of all, I will say that I don't have any experience with Vienna :) Then why the hell am I butting in? :D I will tell you what you can do if Vienna does not accept going there in person for the visa. (Because Bucharest does not accept that and the solutions, from what I've seen, are the...

    Romanian Timeline - In Process

    January 13. Since than, I also had to repeat my x-ray so that they would extend my meds. I would say they moved rather quickly with everything, once they've got the process rolling :D

    You're welcome Remonda :) Looks like my visa officer is catching up with some work this weekend. Yesterday, my status on E-cas was "In process". Today it changed into "Decision made" :D

    Packing for landing at the airport

    Maybe it's a silly question, but I will be traveling with my husband when I will do the landing and I want to avoid additional fuss. So, should my things be packed completely separate from my husband's, in case they will want to look through them when I do the landing?

    HELP - Outland Process

    Outland applicants don't get implied status, so we will have to get an extension. The criminal record check has to be less than 3 months old at the time CIC officially receives the application. So another record will definitely be necessary.

    Romanian Timeline - In Process

    Hi Remonda. We submitted the following documents: - Bank statements from random months (2012, 2013) from the 2 accounts my husband has never closed in Canada, with transfers every month, showing that he has kept his financial ties with Canada. - a letter from the friends that are going to...

    Romanian Timeline - In Process

    So, on wednesday I've sent my passport to the embassy through VAC (the new Visa Application Centre that they've opened last summer - thought it's safer and quicker that DHL). They gave me a tracking number and wrote down my email address and said that if I check their tracking application I will...

    Has the CIC Call Centre EVER helped you in any way?

    From what I've read about the role of the Call Centre, the agents can't look into your file, so the MP or the GCMS notes can get you way more information than an agent will ever be able. They are not visa officers, so I, for example, wouldn't want them to see my file in any way. From what I...

    Short Courtship and Quick Marriage

    If it's a general information about the sponsor or the applicant it goes in what you call "the essay". If it's details about a specific answer, than it goes on a separate sheet of paper with a header mentioning the person's name, the form and the question number.

    Has the CIC Call Centre EVER helped you in any way?

    Why would you even call them if your application is in an office abroad? I'm not saying they are doing an outstanding job, but why call them and then complain if it's clearly stated everywhere that they can't answer questions about applications sent to the abroad VOs?

    How does CIC tell if a relationship is real or fake

    Screech, I'm neither defending the arranged marriage culture, nor attacking it. I'm not judging it because i have never lived in that kind of a culture. Yes, what you say makes sense for any of us that wasn't brought up in that culture. I don't judge their "excuse", I was just pointing out their...

    How does CIC tell if a relationship is real or fake

    I find this comment really racist and ignorant. Just because you don't understand a culture that is very different from yours doesn't mean that your way of life is better than theirs. If you will take the time to study the problem and not just wallow in your prejudices, you will find that...

    Enquiry

    If you mean validity, that it doesn't matter what period they are valid in the country that issued them. CIC just needs to get the whole application, including the PCC, in less than 3 months since the issuance of the document. If the application you sent CIC included a PCC that was less than 3...

    SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP - IMMIGRATION OF SPOUSE FROM ROMANIA

    There are a few people going through Bucharest Visa Office, including me, but I don't know anyone using a lawyer to do that. And I don't know what details from our experience you would like to know. Maybe you should make a list of questions and we will happily answer to the best of our...

    How does CIC tell if a relationship is real or fake

    My husband is 9 years older than me and I never felt like it was an issue. And I got my PPR today, so I don't think it will come up from now on either :D

    How does CIC tell if a relationship is real or fake

    It depends on which part of the world we are talking about and if the male of the female partner is the older one.
