    Anyone else sponsoring w/net income 0?

    At the time when we sent in our application, my option C from 2010 stated my income as zero. The reason for this is that I was finishing up law school and my income was from student loans. I have since filed my 2011 income tax and will have to send in a new option C when they start processing...

    You can apply for both, but it might be good to apply for the pardon first, since they will supply your husband (at his request) with an official letter stating that you have applied for a pardon. Your husband would forward this letter with your application for PR. Your PR application will be on...

    Welcome to the March applicant's page Ready_fi_move_on. Congrats on submitting your application! Now that you've sent it off, it should be somewhere in the 75 day mark before you receive an AOR from CIC. I assume you are applying outland? Some people receive AOR (acknowledgement of receipt) when...

    Visitor Extensions

    Thank you so much for posting, it's a relief really to have some hope. We have more than enough money for support and we've proven that with the joint bank statement and we even sent a copy of our receipt for our PR fees paid in full. We didn't apply online, we sent a paper application to...

    Visitor Extensions

    I have a couple of questions about visitor extensions. It seems from reading the forums that some people get them, others don't. My Husband is from the U.S. and we have an outland application submitted but not in progress as yet (we applied in March.) We drove across the border and of course...

    Currently, an individual is barred from sponsoring a member of the family class where the individual has been convicted of an offense of a sexual nature against anyone, or of an offense that results in “bodily harm” against a specific member of their family. For the purposes of an offence that...

    Question about FBI background check

    My Husband is an American visiting here while our PR application is in process. We got his fingerprints done from the Commissionaires in Ottawa. I think they have offices pretty much everywhere since they're security for the government. We paid 45 dollars and got a set done and just mailed them...

    Paying Fees Outland Applicants--- Whats better Bank or Online?

    When we paid at the bank we had to get a special receipt form. You can either get these by ordering (too slow) or, if you are in a city with a university, their international office has stacks of them and you can get a few copies for free. You just have to go in and ask at their reception desk...

    Lawyer? nescessary? avg prices?

    I am a law clerk and I would recommend you doing your application yourself. A retainer for a lawyer is anywhere from 2k-5k. Once you pay that retainer, it's on the law clerk to do the work which is just basically filling out the forms and gathering the supporting documentation. A law clerk will...

We met online through World of Warcraft. We just sent in our FBI (again) on March 6 due to our other one coming back with wrong...

    How did you meet?

    My husband and I met on World of Warcraft. I had transferred from Horde to Alliance for something different and I was about to transfer my main character back to Horde when I met him through a guildie about an hour before I was planning on transferring. I heard his voice on vent and was...

    "He's the blue goat chick with pigtails and a big axe. I'm the blue goat chick with the green lasers coming out of my hands. Ignore the other two dozen people, they're just helping us kill that giant spider." This is excellent. The hubby and I had a huge laugh over this! After spending hours...

    About to begin the process, and have questions about the supporting documents...

    Hi Moonside! I read your post and my husband and I sound very similar to you and your fiance. I was also worried about applying due to being a student (last year) and my income was purely from student loans last year, but from what I've read, this shouldn't be an issue due to the fact that...
