I would go ahead and apply. It's not going to have any bearing on you being able to sponsor him and they can sort out all the criminality issues during phase 2.

I got up early because I was excited about the in processes and pr's people are getting. LOL. I keep checking ours on the CIC site and on here hoping that you're next. I think with my case, we might have an additional delay of a month or two, so I'm not getting my hopes up about hearing anything...

Congrats Elokpo!! Welcome to Canada!!

I'm on OSAP and was approved to sponsor my husband. I submitted a copy of how much I was going to get with my application and they didn't ask anything.

Welcome to the fun world of FBI checks..where the information is sometimes not current or not correct at all. My husband's came back wrong when we first applied and what we did was phone the court house and talk to someone in records who ended up faxing the correct information to the FBI to have...

It's the fact that they can and they do process spousal in those other offices. We were told that our files were sent to LA for stage 2 processing when we got spousal approval and it came known to us after speaking with phone reps that in fact, our files will stay in Ottawa then LA will give us...

The part that ticks me off is that every other country has 1 visa office to process applications..some get in sooner..ok. U.S. applicants have 5 offices (Ottawa, Detroit, New York, Seattle and Los Angeles) so why is nothing being processed quickly for U.S. applicants? It makes no sense.

No kidding Jordan2110! My husband and I say that all the time. We applied in March and got sponsorship approval in May. If he was from India, he would probably have landed a month or so ago. I wrote Minister Kenney a letter about it about 3 weeks ago, still no reply. The U.S. is our closest ally...

I'm interested in this as well if anyone gets information. My husband has an expunged non-conviction and was never arrested..it showed up on the FBI as non-convicted and there was no arrest. It's expunged and I found info in the CIC manual that they look at the equivalent as a Canadian Pardon...

As for the OSAP stuff, I thought when I applied earlier this year that I would get about the same amount because when I was reading the OSAP information, the max amounts you can get if you're a single parent or married are the same. I think it's 560 per week. I compared my entitlements from the...

All the gov't workers walk around with their gov't I.D. tags on lanyards around their necks which shows which department they work for and the address at 365 Laurier Ave which is the CPC-O building downtown.

Soooo...the hubby and I were standing downtown Ottawa today waiting to get our lunch from a chip wagon when a group of workers from CPC-O got in line behind us. It took all my might to not question them endlessly and ask why they are being so slow! My Hubby was like, "just ask them what's going...

IrinaAbdNova, if you have any questions about OSAP, you can go to this forum: http://www.studentawards.com/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=179 There is every possible answer to every possible OSAP question to be asked. And yes, being married does affect your OSAP entitlement. I got more from being a...

There should be a file number on the top right hand side of your certificate of divorce. You could take that into the court house where the documents were originally filed and request to have a copy of your continuing record which is the complete file with all documents that were used in the...

As of this Sunday, July 29th, we will be "celebrating" the 2 month mark of our application being stuck in stage 2. Hopefully we'll hear something in month 3!

If you have a court order (with a red court seal) stating that he is supposed to pay XXX amount of dollars, then he is legally responsible to pay that amount. If he is in arrears, you can always apply to the Family Responsibility Office here...

Just to clarify a few things...you went to court and got an order for child support which states that he is to pay a certain amount per month? Which province was this in and is your ex-husband in Canada? You stated that you did go to court yet you also say he made a paper himself. What paper did...

Congrats CGagnon! One less thing to worry about and one step closer to PR!

You'd think with all the Immigration going on in this country that they'd be able to get this process right. I hear and feel your frustration Parker, I've been at it for almost 4 months now WITH "help" from an MP.

Yes, we requested one year and got it, no problems.
