May be you can start with getting a job offer from a Canadian employer and apply for a work permit. Canada follows a point system for express entry permanent residency program where a job offer will count towards significant points required for PR eligibility. But again, that depends on your...

1. Try to follow the law and do the right thing. Be calm. 2. Your husband's H-1B expiry probably does not matter much for Canadian PR directly. But then, be prepared for extensive scrutiny and bigger processing time by CIC. I hope he has a valid passport from his home country. 3. Being...

I agree. I think I paid about $185 CAD in total for all meds in Scarborough. It would be cheaper to just make a day trip to Canada and get the tests done.

There are people who applied in 2014 and 2015, and still waiting!

1. Wait for them to get back. You will most likely get a PR before. 2. Correct. But if you are outside India, you could request them to submit your passport to a different VO. 3. No. In India, you will have to use VFS to send your passport for stamping. 4. Yes, you can use any border crossing or...

In that case, you too should have been staying in Canada (along with your sponsoring wife who is a PR). Inland applicants are not allowed to travel out of Canada during the application process. Can your wife apply for citizenship of Canada? If yes, why doesn't she do that? If she is a citizen...

1. Be calm 2. Apply for a passport 3. Follow the immigration law --- he either needs to apply for "Restoration of Status" or go to the US (and apply outland). There were changes in 2016 which make it difficult for an "out of status" person to apply for an inland application. I assume since it...

According to Section 238 of the Canada's Income Tax Act -- not filing taxes is tax evasion and is an offense. This offense may result in a fine of anywhere between $1,000 and $25,000 and up to one year in prison. I think your spouse should be wise to file the late tax return for all the...

No, officiants can't expedite your marriage certificate. You have to send your own request along with a "proof of urgency". https://www.ontario.ca/faq/what-proof-urgency-when-requesting-birth-marriage-or-death-certificate Above is not the complete list of emergency situations. But if you think...

Yes, we had a religious wedding officiant. Although, in this case it was a Hindu priest the family knew (and who had the required license to officiate weddings ). You can picky any. I think the biggest time bottle neck is not the wedding, but the time to register the marriage and get a...

I had a civil wedding in Toronto. The process was fairly simple. 1. You go to the City Center to purchase a marriage license (fee: ~$125, but varies by location) --- Took about 20 minutes. I don't remember now, but I think we needed an appointment. 2. For this marriage license application...

Thanks for the info!

India doesn't allow dual citizenship so I assumed you have an Indian passport and NDVO application processing. Given that, my question was if you are living in US currently and got a PPR request, where were you asked to submit the passport? New Delhi, US or Canada VO?

Dear friends, if your outland visa office was NDVO and you "are RESIDING IN US" right now and recently got a PPR: --- Which Visa office did you get your PPR from? Was it Ottawa, Delhi or NY/LA? --- How did you submit your passport?

Sorry, so you committed immigration fraud and you want help now about how to get away from it! :o There are good and helping people on this forum. But I think what you really need is a good lawyer who can give you sound legal advice. Find a better one.

Didn't see that she can't visit to Canada earlier. Because then the solution was a simple civil ceremony in Canada that is cheap and gives you a certificate. Is it possible to visit a 3rd country and have a civil ceremony and register your marriage? You mentioned Lebanon recognizes your...

There is no legal requirement in India to change the surname after marriage. But make sure the names on documents are consistent. If the passport says XY, you won't get a PCC for XZ. So those inconsistencies need to be resolved. For us, we found it was not worth it to do the name change as...

>> 1. Can I apply for new passport to add my spouse's name while applying for his Canadian PR sponsorship in parallel? Yes. But you will mostly likely not be able to send your PCC with your application. I know NewYork consulate simply refuses PCC's unless you have added your spouse's name on...

If you have a good enough reason, you can send them a Fax with the reason to expedite your marriage certificate. For me it was an expiring passport, where the passport office won't issue one unless my wife's name was added to it, which needed a marriage certificate. People have had success...
