tell that to my super-sappy husband ;) he sends me a gushy postcard every week - despite the fact that we talk on the phone or on skype for, literally, hours every day. i envision the ladies who work in the post offices all gathered 'round, reading the cards and sighing and swooning.. hahahah...

alright, correction to my earlier comment (i'd called the Windsor border and spoken with a very friendly, but apparently incorrect, border guard) - not all land crossings handle immigration. however, i've just gotten off the phone with CBSA and a just-as-friendly-but-more-knowledgeable agent...

are you calling the CIC call center or the actual location where the interview is to take place?

you, my friend, are really worrying too much over this ;) we all have something in our applications that we feel is going to be the reason we're rejected. here's mine: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/if-i-am-denied-as-sponsor-t329772.15.html if my application can...

i misunderstood your concern, too. still, the answer is no. CIC will not make any inferences based on the size of paper. if you're overly worried, include an explanation in your application about why you printed the forms for your wife, but i don't think it will be necessary.

you are able to land at any border crossing between the US and Canada. you can find a list of all the crossings here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border_crossings if you are 9 hours from Vancouver, it doesn't look like there are any land crossings any...

my husband is from the UK, where they use A4 as well, so we had the exact same issue - half the forms were done in A4 and half in letter size. our application was processed with no problem at all, and we have COPR in hand. you'll be fine :)

i think that's a smart decision, and glad you could get a refund on your original application! good luck with this one - hope it's quick and smooth for you :)

that is crazy frustrating. i agree with you about the theory of pushing through new applications quickly and leaving older applications on the backburner - i speculated back when 2015 applicants were getting through in a matter of months that LVO was attempting to bring down the 'average...

again, unfortunately, those are not legal barriers to getting married, especially if she hasn't even attempted a TRV to come to Canada. i wish you both the best of luck with your conjugal application, but if i were you, that wouldn't be the first option i'd choose given the situation. make...

but you wouldn't have to *try* to marry her in Canada. you could just marry her in Canada. then you're married, and don't have to try to convince CIC to approve a conjugal application. is there a reason you have not applied for her to come to Canada as a visitor and get married here?

so from what i can see, your husband will need a visa, which means he will need to submit his passport to receive that visa before he can come to Canada. i don't know if the passport is normally taken at the time of the interview. the interviewer may have been referring to requesting the...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FAYZyQgud1lzp7fM28i2O8ZrfbMAxdTc_t7_fiwI6ak/edit#gid=1574775393 along the bottom of that spreadsheet, you'll see a tab called 'interview questions'. this is a compilation of questions other members have been asked during their interviews, and it gives...

good luck - hope you get some answers, at least.

well, the harm with trying is the expense of an application that will likely be denied in this case.

i was going to make this same suggestion. i think CIC sees a lot of variations in wedding ceremonies. i had recently moved to my city just before getting married, and so our wedding was attended only by our immediate families and my best friend since our other friends couldn't travel to it...

i could be wrong, but my understanding is that, when they speak of not being able to get married, it's because same-sex marriage is illegal in the person's country - not that their parents don't know or don't approve. and again, my understanding is that, since same-sex marriage is legal in...

i definitely empathize with being scared of that 29 month time frame.. but from receiving our outland application to having COPR in hand, it took 7 months and 5 days. if you take a look at the London outbound spreadsheet...

is your husband from a visa-exempt country? if so, there is no need for her to have kept his passport. good luck!!! :)

congratulations!! getting it on a holiday makes it seem more special somehow, doesn't it? we got DM on Christmas and i've never gotten a sweeter Christmas present ;) have a great trip to the border!
