I am sure it varies from country to country, as the other person said verify in your region specific guide and follow it to the letter.

That is not the point. It is fraud to be already planning the divorce before getting PR. This class of immigration exists for people in a genuine relationship that is planning to continue. Why should the sponsor be stuck responsible for them for the next 3 years? Unless they are also part of the...

You wrote the name of the person who took it? Or the photo studio stamped it for you?

No, I mean go and get a certified copy of the original, a notary can do it. Keep your original.

The marriage certificate has to be a certified true copy, not just a photocopy you did on your own.

Yes, everything is mailed to Mississauga and once sponsorship is approved it gets sent the to the appropriate visa office, which is why I said Ottawa, I think US applications go there for processing. This is ECAS where you can also check the status of both the sponsor side and the applicant...

AOR is your notification of application received. This is a good indication that your file is not going to be sent back for being incomplete and that it has been entered into the system and they have assigned your UCI (unique client identifier) and your Application Number. You will need these...

I think if it was automatically inadmissible they wouldn't have sent it for further review. Given that it was 41 years ago, not a violent crime, and he was ultimately sentenced to and served probation, could all be a factors that weigh in your husband's favor. Being honest and upfront about...

Yah, unfortunately you can not import your belongings duty free until you land or after you have landed. On a side note, if you have some time to peruse, you can find all kinds of good clean quality furniture and whatnot for free or for pretty cheap off Kijiji to get you through in the meantime :)

I suggest you check out the thread that corresponds with the month you applied (and explore some of the other similar threads as well as there is an abundance of helpful information) and you will learn as you go along in the process what all the terms and acronyms are and what to expect going...

You can not submit from outside of Canada and you have to be living here throughout the duration of your son's application processing. No way around that, not with an explanation letter or otherwise.

Hi, received a notice on March 6th from Paris VO for an interview scheduled for my husband in Tunis on May 11th. The email was contradictory regarding how to respond/confirm attendance. In one section near the beginning of the email it said reply via mail or fax. In another area of the notice it...

Add to it the fact you are asking whether or not you should tell the truth about the timeline of your new relationship...

You will need to be able to prove to CIC that it was not your plan all along to marry someone solely for immigration purposes, meanwhile in a relationship with someone else, and as soon as you got PR, split from the person, divorced at the first legal opportunity, and then rushed over to remarry...

I actually appreciate this bit of elaboration. I think it does help ease a fraction of the stress and worry people have during this process.

This small change should help alleviate the flood of people calling CIC with some very simple questions

So they didn't start the background/security check until after the interview? Reason I ask is that my husbands background check and security is still showing as "not started" and he just was notified this morning of his upcoming interview in Tunisia in May. So do they wait until after...

No gaps is for all history. They want to know exactly what the person was doing for the last 10 years or since the age of 18. Each type of schooling needs to be accounted for in its own separate field along with the start/end dates for each. If they did 8 years of primary, then put that as one...

Solid advice :)
