Yes, it is possible to apply for a six month visa and then apply to extend it in order to meet the twelve months requirements. Of course, there are no guarantees that the visa would be extended, but you could try it. I don't know how it would work with your daughter going to school, I don't...

You don't have to be employed, you just need to prove to them that you won't be on welfare. So show things like savings, whether you plan on going back to work, proof of former employment in a field, letters from relatives willing to support you, etc. If you are on welfare or social assistance...

1. Write it as it's written on the passport, and put the alternate name as an alias. On a separate piece of paper, explain that it's just a different way of spelling it in English. 2. I don't know about this one, wait for someone else to chime in.

My uncle was in the middle of processing his spouse when he became terminally ill. He died before the application was approved, they didn't speed it up despite numerous requests from my dad's family. They never gave her a visitor's visa either, although there were extenuating circumstances...

You can pay the RoPR when the visa office asks you to, although it will cause delays. I suspect if you don't pay the initial application fee before submitting the application and including the receipt your file will be sent back as incomplete.

My husband comes from a visa exempt country and we've NEVER spoken to an immigration officer when we've left the country. We've come and gone three times in a three year period since getting married, and it's never been an issue at all.

That's not a maximum, that's a guideline. I have no idea how to handle your situation sorry.

This is LITERALLY the first sentence of that guide: This guide is for persons who currently hold a valid temporary resident permit (TRP) Your daughter does NOT hold a valid TRP, so you can't use that guide. Scylla gave you the right guide. Honestly, I would apply for your daughter's permanent...

We wanted the freedom to still be able to leave Canada if we need to. Applying outland is also faster for us than applying inland. CIC says we can do it, so we're doing it.

He might, but he also might not, in which case you'll be out the application fee you've already paid. You'll have to pay it all again, which will almost certainly cost you more than a return trip to China, not to mention you'll have to be apart from him for the ten months or so it will take to...

You're correct, that's the AOR from Sydney.

You have to get permanent residency before you can get citizenship. The information is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp

Yes, just wait for the London VO to make their decision. There is NO WAY that London will disapprove you because you were staying in Canada while your visa was processing. The only reason they would deny you is if your relationship isn't genuine. Plenty of people do exactly what you do, and as...

Hey, I didn't actually go to a single forum when we did our Australian visa. Honestly, the process was pretty much exactly the same as in Canada, except you have to get basically EVERYTHING that's an identity document signed by a JP. I honestly don't know about applying from outside of...

Awesome, congratulations rachiy!!

Is a UK Settlement visa a permanent thing, though? In Australia the initial visa you get when you get married lasts for two years, but you aren't able to get access to any government services except for Medicare. In Canada, when you go through the process, you immediately apply for permanent...

She'll send her passport back to Brazil and it will be mailed back to whatever address you gave CIC. You just need to be aware that if she comes to Canada as a visitor and an interview is required, she will need to go back to Brazil (or wherever your visa office is, I can't remember if Rio has...

I doubt the cops would care either, I would worry about ICBC in case of an accident though, if you'd have to make a claim.

I go to the States once or twice a year to pick up packages that I get sent to a box there, since I live 10km from the border and some places don't ship to Canada. I park my car two blocks from the border and walk across, since there's never any line when you walk across and the postal place...

If you're visiting it's six months, not 90 days. You need to change your license to a BC license within 90 days of MOVING to BC, but if you're on a visitors visa then six months. I THINK if you even just go to Alberta (or the US) for a day it resets the six month clock, but I'm not 100% certain...
