    Can i adopt my niece and nephew and sponsor them

    Although you love them and want the best for them, this would be considered an adoption of convenience. CIC would do the background checks and establish that fairly easily.

    Photos for proof of relationship - how did you do it?

    I did the same as floomy, printed the photos and wrote a blurb. Many people put 4 photos to a page in a word document and type an explanation. Either is acceptable. As long as you don't put pics in albums or frames or on memory card!!

    Outland Visa application - working status

    It's not so much that you can't travel, if however you are denied re-entry to Canada for any reason then your inland app can be cancelled because you are no longer in canada. The open work permit (OWP) is only an option with inland applications. In regard to London processing times, the 29...

    IRS Question

    While I understand that you are trying to help people, Rebecca. Your methods and tone are appalling. You continually belittle people that may not grasp this very complicated situation as well as you do. You claim to be an "HR professional" yet your interactions with people border on bullying at...

    Options for family class sponsorship. All input is welcome.

There are no barriers to you going to the US and living with her for 12 months and making common law or marrying her. Conjugal is used where...

    Upfront medical or wait ?!?!

    That's not true, it would just delay the application if CIC need to ask for the medical.

    problem regarding five-years bar as a sponsor

    I copied and pasted directly from CIC website. The way I read this bulletin is that anybody who is a sponsored person after March 2nd 2012 will immediately have this 5 year bar applied and anybody sponsored prior to that will not....unless they lose their PR status and are sponsored again after...

    problem regarding five-years bar as a sponsor

    CIC says this: The amendment, which came into force on March 2, 2012 upon registration, bars a previously-sponsored spouse or partner, from sponsoring a spouse or partner within five years of becoming a PR even if the sponsor acquired citizenship during that period. Other members of the family...

    getting a loan for application?

    If you have such an issue with randoms who think they have all the answers online, why would you come to a user driven forum to seek answers?? The way you respond to people is awful, I hope you don't behave that way in your normal life. People on here provide assistance, for the most part out...
