Will the overlapping dates create that error message? Because she was a student and employed at the same time, so it'll end up overlapping.

I've got 12... it's going back 10 years and there are no gaps in time.

Just to clarify one more thing about the police clearance to make sure I'm understanding 100% - we only need to send in the FBI police clearance and not a state one as well, correct?

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me... I'm filling out the forms for my wife's permanent residency application and I've had no problems completing every form. Now I'm on the Schedule A Background / Declaration and it's the last sheet we need to finish. I've filled it out...

Ok, that's definitely some interesting news. I thought about it logically - if you had a police clearance done AFTER leaving, it would be redundant to get another because it would be the same information. But, I think we all know that immigration and logic don't necessarily go hand in hand! So...

Just because it's been a while since I did it last, can you answer a few questions for me? Can I do the entire FBI background check from Canada or will I have to go the States to take care of it? And is it just the FBI background check or will she need a state one as well (she's from Ohio)...

Any idea on how long the background clearance is good from?

My wife and I had her application package sent back last year. I'm working through it again, printing off the forms again and making sure all of my information is up to date. I've addressed the three areas with which they had problems with last time I submitted it, but I do have some questions...

Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate any help I can get here because this is the second time our paperwork has been returned to us. For context, I am a Canadian citizen trying to sponsor my American wife. She has a temporary residency permit which they've been really great at renewing. I'm just...

Just wanted to share my experience - you are able to renew temporary residency at the border. We're fortunate to live in a border city (Windsor) and we crossed into the States this morning, went to church, came back and when we got to the booth he asked the normal questions and then handed back...

Thank you all for your responses! I got both the original and the translation notarized. The notary, along with her seal, attached a sheet of paper that basically says "this is an official translation of the original birth certificate." Is that enough, or should I get a new translation of the...

Ok, I found a service in Windsor. They told me to make sure I have the right kind of translation for where I'm sending it to - would a professional translation with an affidavit work for Immigration?

Where could I get the document translated?

They sent back my wife's permanent residency application with the following items highlighted: Birth certificates or baptismal certificates for yourself (principal applicant - my wife) Provide your marriage certificate/registration The birth certificate was highlighted because my wife was...

Hey, I'm getting a couple different answers to how to renew my wife's temporary residency while we wait for her application. Her temporary residency expires on June 16, 2017. What is the best way to do it? When we came into the country, we crossed at the Ambassador Bridge and we went into...

I'm with Scotiabank. I went in today to ask and they said two pieces of ID is all it would take, so I'm wondering what happened the first time we tried. Maybe we only had one with and then forgot about it haha I'm going to use the bank information once I get her on my account and then I can...

Great, thank you! I'll try going to the bank and asking about the joint account again and if they refuse again, I'll ask for a letter from them explaining why. We were wondering about the mail, because we have received letters with both our names on the envelope. I'll just try to include...

Hey everyone, My wife and I are just about wrapping up our paperwork (gotta love the new paperwork package) but there's something that we're a bit stuck on. We got married last year and she's been in Canada as a temporary resident (we got a full year because we paid all our fees ahead of...

One more question - how will travel to the US and back work while she is here on a temporary status? Will there be any issues travelling to the US or crossing back into Canada?

It was a cleaning job that she couldn't hold temporarily while we wait for this to go through.
