There is a requirement of income if you are sponsoring a spouse AND his/her dependents to Canada. However, for just a spouse, there is no income requirement but they prefer to know you won't go on welfare when you get here.

What were you approved for? (Sponsorship? Permanent Residence?) There are two "stages" for Outland and two "stages" for inland. First stage for outland is approval of the sponsor (Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident sponsoring their family). Second stage for outland is approval of the...

It ideally shouldn't be a problem to get a student visa while your PR application is in process. My wife applied for a renewal on her's before we sent in our PR app but after we were married. She was approved no problem. Honestly, if you are married, I believe the rule for Ontario is you are...

Since you are applying outland, you should most definitely extend your visitor status, otherwise when it expires you will be in Canada illegally and they may have concerns with that. I personally think you should disclose both accounts, that way they see the full extent of your financials...

Honestly, if your application is simple, I would just go Outland. Ottawa processes a lot of PR applications, and it is possible that IAD allowed appeals goes to Ottawa (According to a Op Bulletin) as well. While I am not sure if those times include the IAD allowed times are included in those...

Looks like they might be doing 1 week at a time now, which if true is really encouraging! Means my wife can get AOR in about 1 month from now.

Your father should have received a file number and a UCI. You can use the file number and his last name to look up the current status I believe. Additionally, for whatever address you put on your application (IMM0008), you should receive a AOR2 (Acknowledgement of Receipt - Visa Office) which...

They have sent AOR's for people up to at least December 31st, so I don't think the 2-3 months will be accurate. My guess, it would be possible to see AOR within 1 more month for February applicants (just going by the rate at which they flew through december)

If you get AOR, I would immediately send a new IMM 0008

IMM 0008 was updated in November and once again in February. Hopefully they will just ask for a redone form and not send the whole package back. I think a few people were asked for new forms recently in the December pool.

A easier way is to go to nirsoft, grab the Skype log viewer and use that to export your Skype logs to excel. It requires a little technical knowledge (specifically where your Skype calls are, but it generally defaults to the correct location). If you have any issues, you can message me and I...

That will be difficult but I would perhaps talk with the embassy and make them aware of the situation. He should still have Canadian citizenship but they may require extra documentation and perhaps a DNA/paternity test.

Since you were born in Canada, I believe if you report your child's birth, he will "inherit" Canadian citizenship following the 1 generation by descent rule. You may want to look at that. I don't think she is a single mother, on her koseki it should have you listed, it is just you are not head...

Are you a Canadian by birth or descent? You might need to speak with someone as you have a child, if the child is a Canadian citizen I am not sure how it affects your income requirements. Normally you don't need to have a income to sponsor just a wife but I believe a dependant may change...

I just want to ask, all those that received "Acknowledgement", was it actually a email from CIC which is your Aknowledgement of Receipt, or are you just saying it was signed for at CIC by a third party carrier. The first is actually AOR, the second doesn't mean anything. I have to ask because...

It is 3 months however that 3 months is to the date they receive it at CPC-M

Honestly, while it is tempting for you to apply inland, there is no guarantee that the OWP will be processed quicker then it would be for your to get your PR. It is entirely possible that the PR could be granted before they even open your file. Taking a look at the "November 2014" spreadsheet...

I was planning on having the following demographics available (all optional): Race Citizenship Residence Age Sex Status (Married, Common-Law, etc) The following relationship details: - First Meeting - Engagement - Marriage - Cohabitation - Average Time between visits - Average Duration of...
