Wowwww!!!! That's SUCH amazing news. It is TOTALLY your turn (a long time ago!). So happy for you guys!!!!!!

Hi runningfree, Luckily, she does not need a TRV to enter Canada, so you have that on your side. However, she will only be allowed to enter as a visitor. As such, she may be asked to prove to the Immigration officer that she intends to LEAVE Canada at the end of her permitted stay. This may be...

Thanks guys :) His birth certificate does not list a father, so I guess that will be supportive (I never thought of that). Thanks for the advice :)

CharlieD, I'm applying for PR for my common-law. For the family form, we listed his mother and siblings but he does not know his father. It's sad, but his mother does not even know for sure who his father is. So we wrote "NA" in the space. He has never met his father and is not even sure (only...

Since we're venting.. we STILL have not sent off our PR application because we decided to try for a visitor visa first (better chance if there is not a PR application in progress).. They state that their average time for a complete visitor application is 10 days.. we're WAYYY past that now and...

Hi, Even if you are apart, you are still common-law partners if you have met the common-law criteria before your common-law partner went back to Canada. They recognise that common-law partners may be separated for periods of time. However, it states that the longer you are apart, the harder it...

If you landed as a "single" you could always get married after landing and then sponsor your spouse, yes. However, be careful saying you're "single." If you're living with your fiance (boyfriend/girlfriend) and have done so for over a year (common-law), you must declare that when you land, and...

Morning everyone, Admiral - sorry to hear you're sick :( I missed your daily messages. So glad you made it to Canada and look forward to your story once you're on the mend. Have a great day!

Hi Leisa P, It really depends on the office/VO etc. whether or not you get an AOR, how long it takes to get one, etc. Some people don't get their AOR until far into the process (information on ECAS may change and still not AOR!) and some people always get one, right away. I'm applying through...

Yes, I've heard it put both ways as well. As a previous poster said, applying for a visitor visa after a PR visa shows that you're honest and plan to do it right. BUT, I've also heard some people say you're more of an over-stay risk to them, because they see that you want to live in Canada and...

No, it's not just you. I didn't reply to that post because I have no idea what some of the abbreviations mean and I don't want to give false information. So many abbreviations for so many different situations with applicants.. adn while they are very familiar to the applicant (just like our...

@Fierra - sorry to hear :( @Can4 - yay!!!! small victories are still victories! I have a question. I know this is not a visitor visa forum, but ours has been sent out and we are currently awaiting a decision. When you apply for a visitor visa to POS, do you get results via email also, or do...

THX HUN!!

Thanks Zouk :) If it drags out more than 3 months Im giving up on a visitor visa! lol. So I think we're still good. Does it matter that the letters will be sporadically dated? My dad wrote the first letter of support for the PR in early May, I have some from late May from others, one from my mom...

Hey everybody! Hope everyone had a good Father's day and glad to hear some good landing stories! :D We delayed applying for a PR application for a little so we could apply for a visitor visa first (unlikely success, but why not try). Anyway, now the application for visitor visa is taking a bit...

@ Zouk - I totally agree. While I respect that all families want and need to be together, Canadian's should have first priority in bringing

Hey guys! VISITOR visa question :) One of the country-specific things is: Two passport photographs for yourself and each family member requesting a visa, with the name printed on the back, dated and taken in the past 6 months. Whenever we get pics done here, the professional photographer has...

@ Admiral Thanks - we will submit as much proof as we can. I am concerned though because for a visitor application, you don't send proof of medical exam or criminal record check. I did some digging and found out you don't need a health exam for a visit less than 6 months if you're from Dominica...

@Zouk - hope it's GOOD news!!! I'm excited to hear the updates :) Can somebody help with a Visitor Visa question? We are still playing with the idea of doing a short-term visitor visa for this summer. It says processing is 10 days... and you don't send in a health check report or a police...

I will give it a shot - thanks guys!
