    How important is a joint account?

    So I went to the bank today and they can make a letter of confirmation for me. It will state who is on the account, and how much is currently in the account. And todays date. Optional if I want to say how long we had the account open. Do you guys think the above will be enough? If I state yes...

    How important is a joint account?

    Hmmm that might be good. I'm sure I can get a letter from the manager at my bank as we have good relations. If they state we have a joint bank account and when it was opened maybe we don't have to include (how little our) transactions amount to?

    How important is a joint account?

    Yup that's my concern to MDSB Yes by the time we apply that is correct the account will be 5 months old, we did some transactions the other day.

    How important is a joint account?

    I'm sorry....what does that mean "Include the letter of confirmation when opening the account" I can include transaction history but I guess we just won't have a ton of action on it, we can continue to use it though. I just don't want to start using it a lot more all of a sudden as a sudden...

    How important is a joint account?

    So one of the first things we did when we started investigating what was needed for sponsorship is open a joint account together. That was about a month or so ago. By the time we apply the joint account will be about 5 months old. So I put a few hundred dollars in there. It actually came in...

    Sponsors From Vancouver BC...

    A hockey riot happened before in 1994 and now in 2011. Very serious incidents of course, but for anyone new, don't worry. It's not a regular occurrence and you are in no danger unless you are in the middle of the action, best to steer clear of any trouble spots like that. Vancouver is still one...

    Letters from friends (template?) stating our relationship is genuine/continuing

    Since we're dealing with the Canadian authorities and not Philippines, trying to go to Canada, as long as we follow Canadian law, Canada should accept it. But you're right....I didn't realize that the notary public works for the government but to be honest I think it's ok to use them, mainly...

    some questions about the application

    1. Yes you should send the medical and police report with your application. If you do not, I'm not 100% sure, but my guess you won't be automatically denied, it will just prolong your waiting as they will have to request those documents and you would have to send them, they'd sit somewhere...

    SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

    Hmmm I'm not sure we have to provide annulment papers, at least I hope not as we have not tried, due to several factors. Besides the obvious reasons of them taking years to finish and a large cost, she does not qualify for an annulment. She's not insane, not a lesbian, etc and abandonment is for...

    Sponsorship Evaluation - Double checking that I have done this right?

    yeah....because if I send the marriage certificate of someone else, I'm sure they mean of us. But otherwise they want the certificate of no marriage which she can not provide. Maybe it's best to send a copy of the marriage certificate and then a letter of explanation why we sent it? I'm just...
