    Most recent travel document

    My question was whether submitting the German passport with/instead of the American one would cause her to go through one of the notoriously slow European visa offices rather than being processed as an American relatively quickly in Mississauga. If so, we would hold off on applying for her...

    Most recent travel document

    My wife is a dual citizen - American and German. She, at present, has an American passport and no German passport. She's thinking of applying for her German passport. The checklist asks for her most recent travel document. Would we have to submit her German passport, rather than her American one...

    Hi everyone, My wife is an American-German dual citizen and has lived in the United States since she was a young child. However, she goes back to Germany for a few weeks every year to visit her family there. We are having one hell of a time trying to find out the specific dates that she was...

    No Personalausweis for dual citizen American-German

    Hi My wife is German-American, who has been living in the United States since she was about 7 years old. She's only returned to Germany for short trips to visit family since then. I just realized that Germany has a National Identity Document - the Personalausweis. She's never had one, as German...

    Schedule A and short trips

    Hi, My wife is an American, who I will be sponsoring outland in June. We're having some trouble filling in Schedule A and have had so much varying advice by so many people. She is a dual citizen in Germany and still travels back there about once a year for 3 weeks to 1 month at a time. In the...

    Medical records

    Wouldn't we risk having her banned for misrepresentation? But I guess we don't know if she was diagnosed with any mental health disorder. I just don't want to mess up our app, or delay it if they request records.

    Medical records

    Hi, My wife is an American citizen and I will be sponsoring her outland this summer. My question is about medical history. Twenty years ago, when she was a child, she attempted suicide due to an abusive step-parent. She was in the hospital after for about two weeks, saw a counselor for a while...

    Student Loans

    Does anyone know if receiving provincial and federal student loans and grants will count as social assistance and make me ineligible to sponsor my wife? I won't be receiving them at the moment that I submit my sponsorship application, but I will have within the previous 6 months and won't have...

    Speeding ticket

    They didn't give her any documentation to keep about either the initial charge or about it being dropped down to a civil ticket. I don't know what documents we could get proving it other than the court documents. From my understanding, a charge is not a conviction. You can be charged with...

    What is the timeline after our application is approved?

    Incorrect. She will have one year to land from the time that her medical was completed, not from when COPR was issued.

    Very distant relative may have moved to Canada

    Hi, I'll be sponsoring my wife, who is dual citizen American and German this summer. Looking at 5532, there is a question about if you have any other relatives living in Canada, and what their details are. I asked my wife this and one of her parents mentioned that a very distant relative (cousin...

    Speeding ticket

    Thanks. I am aware that I need to declare her step-siblings. I only mentioned it as an example of an area that the lawyer I was speaking to gave me incorrect information, and thus why I was looking for more information regarding the traffic ticket. Where would she declare it on Schedule A? Does...

    Speeding ticket

    Oh, I estimated a couple of weeks for the identity summary because she just mailed her fingerprints late last week. So it'll take about a week to be delivered and then a week for them to do the check.

    Hi, I'm a Canadian, who will be sponsoring my American wife outland this summer. We are getting our application together. My wife lives in Colorado. Last April, she got a speeding ticket going 27mph (43km/h) over the speeding limit. Colorado has very strict penalties for speeding and she was...
