Do as much as you can and a good variety. I was worried that too much will look suspect like you are trying too hard - bit no, the more the better. And as your process goes on, you can send in some additional updates with pics of time passed since your application was sent. If you are trying...

Yeah these quick processing times are bitter sweet aren't they? For those of us with crap luck who end up seeing others moved way ahead of us? We got screwed in SA processing, now looking at the google docs we are a month behind people who applied 1-2 months after we did. Not our fault CIC...

We can all relate to your feeling that this timeline is just overwhelming. Unfortunately you don't have a lot of other options, you could go there to be with her while you wait? What the others have told you are right, don't get your hopes up that she would be granted a visitor visa, it's very...

They are notes from the officers processing your file - depending on where you are in the process, they may not really contain useful information. If your file is in process though they can be handy. There is info on the forum on how to request them, and a YouTube video. If you request them...

So I have not yet order GSCM notes - we got SA on Jan 23rd and still have not received AOR from Mexico City VO. We are still showing "in transit". 1 - should I apply for notes now, will there be anything in them useful from the SA process? 2 - We submitted a notarized IMM5475 "authority to...

Your SA can take over 100 days, I assume you are applying Outland? Mine took from September to January 23rd. If you want more info, you can order GSCM Notes - see info on this forum on there is a YouTube video, this may offer some more insight, but it takes a few weeks.

If you are looking at sponsoring your spouse you need to be residing in Canada.

Yeah the cost is insanity - I wonder if the Canadian government regulates panel physician costs? Ohcanadiana?

Sounds like it went well - always nice to hear a positive story - thanks for sharing and best of luck!

If your wife is from a non-visa exempt country, many people on here would probably say not to bother with a visitor visa application. Now it does depend on her status, does she have a great job, $$$ at home? If so, it is more likely they will not see her overstaying. If however you do apply...

I included some photos in my additional information response. Basically it was a story (in chronological order) of our relationship where I interested corresponding photos, as well as more loose at the end. Make sure you indicate when the photos are from and identify others in them. If you...

We submitted a notarized IMM5475 "authority to release information to a designated individual" with my husbands family class sponsorship application, do we still need to submit an IMM5744? If so, what does an IMM5475 do? Does anyone know?

I have a friend who's husband landed in June from Mexico. They had a quickie wedding in Canada right before his visa expired - but never called for an interview. They were not together long or married long, so I just don't know how they determine things. Best wishes for you both that you get...

So what is the determining factor for an interview vs. waived? Seems to be a handful of both from Mexico.

If you are applying for jobs with an employer you are not likely to get anywhere without a visa in hand. You your be looking at immigrating as a skilled worker - see the CIC website You have to understand the process a company must go through to get work permit for you is very intensive. and...

Since we're on the topic - what is the rate of interviews vs. waived interviews for Mexico? Anyone have an idea? My husband is in PV and knowing his medical will expire soon - trying to get an idea of how many trips he will have to make back to DF. We are married - did the big wedding , and...

Be sure you have the following done, this is NOT listed in the Latin America photo specifications but we got hit for it, and even though CIC admits it is their oversight for not having an up to date guide online, it still puts you at the end of the line, and costs $$$ to send new photos (They...

I got my SA via email Jan 23 but our file still says Application Received too. It took them over 2 weeks from my AOR to have our file loaded online, so I'm sure it is just the usual slowness. Let me know if you hear anything from the VO though.

Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie to the forum. I applying to sponsor my husband, application received Sept 15, 2014. They came back asking for new photos signed & dated which wasn't in the guide and CIC admits this is their own oversight. I had my MP fight to get me my spot back in line but they...
