It’s sure sounding that way. That office seemed slow to begin with. Perhaps short staffed on top of it due to the pandemic?

Thank you! I have not called the office but had a feeling something might be up due to all the craziness happening right now.

I am also Mississauga!

Hi everyone, my husband and I are August 21st applicants and are growing more and more concerned about our application as we seem to have been skipped in SA/AIP/DM. While we are August 21 applicants I thought it might be important to highlight that he has two minor dependants and that we were...

Their passports unfortunately expired in 2017 and my husbands ex-wife is very uncooperative in signing documents or taking them to appointments etc, so it will require him to go back to Texas twice to fulfill getting ID and then going to the medical.

We just received our medical requests today, and as such, my husband will be flying from Nova Scotia to Texas to bring his 8 and 13 year old to their exams. To my knowledge, neither child has photo ID, but they do have birth certificates which we have in our possession. I understand each...

I consulted an experienced immigration lawyer about this and they told me that as long as you bring the information to them before they bring it to you, that you’ll be okay. Submit that webform and relax, you will be fine for bringing it to their attention before they find the error themselves.

Looking for advice on whether we should apply to have my husband deemed criminally rehabilitated?: - juvenile adjudication (NOT a criminal conviction) in the USA for sexual assault as a 16 year old. This is not on his record as an adult. - 2006 DUI arrest that he was found not guilty of and...

Can you tell me what your outcome was? I am also fearful of misrepresentation due to accidentally checking the wrong box. I noticed the error and sent all information to IRCC ahead of them finding it, but am fearful of misrepresentation due to the genuine error.

You are not inadmissible to Canada for a crime committed as a juvenile offender if you were treated as a minor in a country that had special provisions for juvenile offenders. You’re fine, no worries!

Last week, we found out about an outstanding fine my husband had that he didn’t know about when he applied for PR. He paid the fine, and we submitted this info to IRCC via the webform right away. When we went to update our Schedule A form to reflect this new info, we noticed a huge error. We...

Tonight I realized my husband and I incorrectly answered question 6 B on the Schedule A form. We incorrectly read the question regarding whether he had ever been convinced of a crime in any country and checked “no” when we should have checked “yes” (marijuana possession in 2010). We did...

After all of this, I'm thinking we need a new lawyer!

Thank you - I am going to call IRCC on Monday. Further to this, we we also just noticed we incorrectly answered 'no' to the question 'have you ever been convicted of a crime in any other country or territory' when the answer should have been YES (our lawyer also missed this!!). We misread the...

My husband and I submitted our PR application on August 21 and just received AOR today. Last week during a trip to Houston to visit family, my husband went to get a replacement copy of his drivers license made as his had been stolen and he wanted to trade it in for a Nova Scotia license ASAP...

Hi Guys, We applied for permanent residency on August 15 and our application was received on the 22nd - still waiting for our AOR. We are currently in Texas visiting family, and, long story short, we found out today that my husband had been issued a ticket for possession of drug...

Hey Guys, Probably a dumb question but I'm just being my usual paranoid self... is it normal to have nothing showing in your online portal account at this point? Our application was sent via registered mall (Canada Post) on August 15 and signed for/received on August 22. When I check my...

Thanks for such a thoughtful and thorough response! I had a look at the information you provided, and he was “tried” as a minor in the USA under their juvenile system, so, according to this, it should be/won’t be an issue. Based on the law and the government’s guidelines as you’ve pointed out, I...

My husband, and American and I just submitted his permanent residency application this month. We did majority of it ourselves, but I did go see an immigration lawyer twice to review our case and then review our final application before submitting it. The only sticky part of our application is...

Hi Everyone, Just submitted our application today (August 15) for an inland spousal sponsorship and OWP for my American husband. We are applying from Halifax. We just had our first baby here in Canada in June and are so excited to get this process rolling after years of talking about it...
