My husband and I went through this and it's a nightmare! We got married late 2010 and my tax preparer failed to mention it, I didn't even notice until the next year when I filed 2011 taxes and all my credits, including child tax stopped. Took 5 months to get everything sorted out. CRA wanted...

Why did you have problems at the border? If he has any inadmissibility issues...then DO NOT apply inland, especially without a good immigration lawyer! Unfortunately, I'm speaking from experience. We just waited 2 years, and got refused for minor inadmissibility...about to start from scratch...

If you are in Canada...find a doctor on the designated list in Canada to have that medical done. Do the medical just before you are about to mail your application in. Police Certificate ... You must get one from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more months in a row...

Your OWP gives you authorization to get a SIN Your SIN gives you authorization to work... Go to Service Canada and get your SIN, it takes no time at all. Make sure you also bring something with your current address on it! Bring everything you can think of...they can be real sticklers down there...

Up in the top right corner it will ask you if you'd like to open with something different. That's all I did. The adobe hasn't worked for some reason in years!

Thanks Screech. I will keep everyone updated as best as I can. Time is ticking right now and we have our hands full. I will keep coming back to see how things are going for everyone. It's exciting each time I see someone get AIP or DM (successfully) LOL etc. Good luck guys!!

There are a few errors we believe. Firstly the same guy from local office that refused us requested additional documents (the letter he also sent us that we rec'd on Aug. 22nd was NOT dated) that would allow us to prove H&C considerations before making a final decision. He gave us 30 days to do...

Hey guys, Wanted to let you all know. My husbands PR was refused last night. We rec'd DM on Sunday, got the letter in the mailbox the next day. >:( You can see my timeline beside my name. We will be seeing a lawyer on Monday regarding this decision that we believe was poorly made and hopefully...

Re: filing a tax return to get child tax benefits Yes, I just found the tax returns online, just the general ones, printed them off...filled them in all NIL and 0's and mailed them in. At first I just filed the NIL returns for the years we were married, but they wanted ALL years from the date...

Actually, I came across this thread the day after I put my application together and was heading out to mail it...of course, I pulled the whole thing apart and started from scratch :)

Check this thread out...it's long, but this member did a very good job at organizing their application. Complete with pictures and all :) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t92449.0.html

Ours was the criminality part...there are few reasons they transfer files I guess but the lady at the CIC told me straight up what the reason was over the phone... I agree, it is so unfair!! You would think they would have done this when they processed the first part, but it is what it is I...

If the charges were dismissed or discharged but fingerprints were taken, my suggestion would be to call the police station that originally charged him and ask for his file to be destroyed. Even charges that are dismissed or dropped still show until they are asked to be destroyed. I...

My husband (the applicant) had his file transferred too :( I called the CIC, lady was very helpful...told me the exact reason why...also was able to tell me the local office waiting time. We are 8 more months... File transfers aren't always bad, but it does mean that you go to the back of the...

2 Summary convictions, or one Indictable conviction could find you inadmissible to Canada. Depends on the conviction...if it was an overseas conviction you would have to work out if it would be listed as a summary or an indictable conviction in Canada. Hope this makes sense, good luck...

For anyone having a hard time finding work...start out with the temporary employment agencies!! Don't send applications or resumes online, go in there and apply in person. They'll have you do some testing which is fairly simple...then they'll tell you they'll call you...after a couple days you...

Would rather not go into details on a public forum...but it was a very minor criminality issue that should have been overlooked a while ago. My husband has had TRP's and OWP's for a year and a half now... We got AIP in September... Good news for you guys here though, is that CIC is working...

Well guys, thought I'd drop in and update you all on my dilemma from Friday. My husband received a letter from CIC telling us that his file was transferred to a local office for further processing...at this point and with our timeline we were really hoping that letter was the final letter...I...
