I definitely and truly can relate not being able to be with your family during the holidays. I, too, faced the same thing last year as well as I was hoping my wife would have joined me. Luckily this year, my wife is able to for the first time. Also do you have an online account where you linked...

So sorry to hear the wait time is much longer than usual for you. What country are you applying from? Also you mentioned having a phone interview in October. What was the purpose of the interview? Usually if interviews are requested, it can be a variety of reasons. But the common ones that may...

it's 24/7 service.

Hello, I was wondering why your schedule A has to be submitted twice? Did you email this to them through an online account? Or was it submitted in person? Usually after a successful submission of schedule A, I found in my application the immigration went silent for 4 months. Afterwards if all...

Hello, Usually the goal of CIC is to process family related sponsored applications within 12 months. From my experience, things do go quiet for 4-5 months when background checks are being completed, along with medical. The only time you should contact CIC is when it's passed the processing time...

I'm helping a nephew of mine sponsor his wife to come to Canada and they changed the application form IMM 5406 over the past year. Where it says applicant and spouse information, the martial status choices you have are: Annulled Marriage Common - law Divorced Legally Separated Married -...

Just make sure you declare upfront to the officers the exact amount you are bringing into Canada (USD or CAD). Be able to prove and demonstrate to the officer the source of the funds, and why you are bringing those funds into Canada - to support yourself as a skilled worker while working in...

Yes, that’s true for those skilled workers. The immigration wants to make sure you are able and capable of supporting yourself without asking the government for any help. You need to present proof you have those funds as well as declare those funds if you carry it in your person as it’s over the...

My wife successfully landed as a PR at Vancouver International airport last March 27,2018

There’s not really a “minimum” to carry as they know your sponsor signed an undertaking you are financially responsible for the principal applicant. When my wife came, she had just over $250.00 Canadian funds with her. The immigration officer didn’t even ask how much money she was carrying. She...

Hello, would love to give you feedback. Can you please write in English? Thanks.

Congrats!

Congrats!

One other thing experienced during the landing process at YVR is if you’re connecting to a different Canadian city, make sure you allow at least 4 hours minimum connection time. My wife took almost 3.5 hours to “get landed”.

The SIN number issuance isn’t available in YVR. For my wife, we went to our local service Canada office and after waiting about 40 minutes, an officer issued her SIN on the spot. Make sure they bring with them their COPR document signed by the immigration officer at the airport, the Canada visa...

Thank you for the information. The last time I arrived through YVR, I filled out a Traveller Declaration card - Form E311. Although I'm a Nexus member so I always use the machine for re-entering Canada. Does airlines still hand out those forms, even though YVR went all digital should their kiosk...

Great information! Although here's a question regarding the CBSA border app. It asks "How long have you been away from Canada?" If you're entering Canada for your first time, which answer would you pick? When I set up a new traveller where it asks "Are you a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent...

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

If your VO is Manila, they need 12 months validity. For landing on the visa, it's based on the date you passed your medical exam. In the event you don't land before the expiration of the single entry visa, it gets cancelled and you start the whole process over again from the start.
