    Changing my last name

    I have a similar problem, I got married in Canada before we submitted our application, but since I wanted to send it off as soon as possible, I put my maiden name. It would have taken too long to apply and wait for a new passport. I think I will just wait until I have my PR and then change my...

    I've heard that you can do it, but it takes a few weeks until you will have the appointment. But not 100% sure about this. I will just leave the country and go to the Cheesecake Factory in Buffalo and then go back and land. :) I've also heard that you can go to the airport to land.

    How to keep entertained when you can't work? Hubby is having a rough time...

    Hey guys, I can totally relate to your stories. I came to Canada on a Working Holiday Visa in April 2011 and since it expired in April 2012, I'm the one sitting home most days while my hubby is working to support us. I recently got a Library card and when I go to get some new books, I walk...

    I feel the same way like you! I came to Canada on a Working Holiday Visa and I had a good job until April 2012 when I had to leave my job because my WHV expired and my company was not very helpful in getting a LMO and also the job I was in would have not helped to get a positive LMO. I hate...

    Passing the time

    Hi everyone! I too am waiting anxiously for any news from CIC.. well, only good news of course! ;) I'm German and I live in Canada with my Canadian hubby (sponsor) which is extremely great because I don't know how I would survive this being far away from him. But my work permit (I came here on...

    This was very beautifully said! Whenever I feel sad or upset about our situation, I remind myself that I am able to live with the person I love most and that I'm spending every day with him and everything's fine. :) And I also tell myself, once this whole process is over, I won't look back in...

    Hi everybody, I'm also in the same boat. I even worked in Canada for one year but then my work permit expired and I couldn't get an extension. :( So here I am, just waiting for the months to go by so I will be able to work again. I know I am very lucky to spend this time here with my husband...

    Exchanging Your Driver's License

    Well, when my husband got his renewed, it took 4 weeks.. so it might as well be faster?! I got my new German one in 1 week, I was really surprised that it was so fast!

    VIENNA OFFICE

    Hi everybody, my husband is sponsering me and our VO is Vienna. We're applying outland but I'm living in Canada, so that I would have to fly to Vienna if they call me in for an interview. My question is, how long in advance before the interview do they send you the "invitation", and do you...

    The doctor will ask you if you're applying inland or outland, and then he will send it away. In my case (we're applying Outland) to Ottawa, I believe. You will receive one of the medical pages to attach to your application so they canlater match the results of the medical exam with your application.

    How I understood it, it would cause a delay if they have to ask you to send in your medicals. I did the medicals 4 weeks before we sent the application. I live in Mississauga, and I went to Dr. Colin Saldanha. He is located in the Heartland area. I had to pay $125 in cash and the appointment...
