I was not sure of my plans for next 6 months so I kept a US address as my residential address and my wife's Canadian address as the mailing address. That wasn't a problem for my application. Btw, like you, I also read similar forum posts, and mailed them a "Use of Representative form" declaring...

You can expedite your marriage certificate by sending Service Ontario a request along with "proof of urgency". https://www.ontario.ca/faq/what-proof-urgency-when-requesting-birth-marriage-or-death-certificate Here is a sample of letter from a related thread...

You may start with this: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/how-i-organized-our-applcation-and-a-summary-of-all-helpful-tips-i-have-learned-t92449.0.html But make sure check for new forms and updated process (starting Dec 2016).

That's a 2,000 dollar/1 month investment. Not easy if Amthakor7 is a student. Amthakor7, I am also in the same boat. Do post here when you resolve this. In the past, people have had success in switching their visa processing from NDVO to other country's visa office. If your spouse is in...

Your step father is confused. First, without a PR he would be a visitor to Canada and he can stay "at max" for 6 months. And that too is determined by Canadian border folks. After that, he would need to leave. If he extends his stay, he could be deported from Canada. Second, landing as a PR...

Cool, congrats! Quick question: Did you apply on Aug 2 or Aug 30th?

But IRCC don't do that usually. At least, that' my experience. I have been here in US for about 9 years now, and currently I am working on my PhD in US with a valid US Visa until a future date, but my application is still being processed by NDVO. I think, if she holds an Indian passport in most...

Yes, if you were already a citizen when your daughter was born, you could directly apply for her citizenship. This should be straight forward and quick. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/rules/ You do have to sponsor your wife for her PR. As others suggested, you can do this Outland...

Oh, that is awesome! I didn't know that. Thank you! :)

1. There is a more generic one here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QCWtvz-ZMSd0HyJ_aIaGnmsK8S6AoUgJBTv9KHGNPuQ/edit#gid=992511551 2. No, you will be eligible for MSP only "after you become a Canadian PR" 3. Wait for any email from CIC about missing docs, or approval of sponsor...

Why is that a difficult thing to do? I had a large number of trips to US, Canada, India and Europe, so I just created a word doc and listed all these trips in multiple tables. You may do that, or add an additional sheet in your current form. We had a different version for this form when i...

Oh I see. The forms changed. Well then, fill for both :)

Ha ha. Dumdum: CIC didn't like our mother in laws. Hence, no visit :) I guess, if this is indeed true, what could have happened is CIC may have added a background check phase by using some 3rd party agency. Normally, for job applications in USA, companies like HireRight would do a background...

Well, as they requested. Your wife, the "principal applicant", should list all trips she made out of her country for last 10 years, or since her 18th birthday. This is not for the sponsor (i.e., you).

Oh shoot, my joke got wasted. I guess we should cut her some slack. Not everyone is used to computers and may be she was trying to help by answering the question and got it wrong.

Dear Mrs. Harshil, I think you should chill out. Unless your mother in law bit them, you will be Ok. On the other hand, I think if your mother in law actually bit them, that would increase your chances ( for humanitarian reasons, I guess). ;D I really doubt that anyone from CIC went to your...

You don't even need boarding passes. Just some proof of visit, which may include flight/bus/train tickets, boarding passes, bills related to travel etc. No, you don't need originals.

To add to that, I would suggest join/check this XL sheet for the current processing status of Aug applicants: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/172CtMXuP3NoGOoZwwInlewTd7g0RVvmMQKnjQe3jK9M/edit#gid=436397810

1. You may simply write "unemployed" there 2. Give your current residential address Both hardly matter, because essentially FBI check is a lookup of your fingerprints in their criminal records. If they get a hit, they will add the records found. Else, they would send no criminal record found in...

1. You don't have to be a biological mother to sponsor your kid. As long as you are legally his mother, you can sponsor him. 2. As a PR you need to be present "inside" Canada to sponsor your kid. Canadian citizens, however, don't have that requirement. 3. There still may be other complexities...
