I personally have no problem with you both asking questions on here either. it is the same visa office and since there seems to be no one else from Costa Rica, you will probably get more valuable answers on here, rather than your own thread :)

haha you guys are making me miss Mexico!! I miss the oranges a lot!! they taste so much different off the tree, than a week old and covered in preservatives from the grocery store :(

LOL!! There is only one family that sells really good mangos in the city where we live and they happen to be Mexican. But they nearly cost you an arm and a leg lol

I agree with that, I have a few friends from Vancouver that moved down to Costa Rica last year and are getting Residency there! :D

lol!!! i would be like WHICH MANGO TREE!! lol :o

I wouldn't worry to much about ecas. I know a lot of people who never had there ecas updated at all, or it was updated really late. I know one lady that her ecas went from application received straight to decision made, without ever going to in process. :-\ Its fairly unreliable.

Hmm, that's a good question. we didn't have an interview so we got an email asking for the passport, than we had to mail it and they mailed it back with the visa in it. And our ecas updated to decision made about 3 days after the passport was returned to us. I would imagine since they kept...

we got our visa before "decision made" was put onto e-case

woah!! that sounds like such a pain! but I mean I don't blame DHL. its probably frustrating to try and deliver things to approximate addresses lol. I cant wait to go visit there now and see if I can find my way around lol. sounds like an adventure :P

I just read how they do addresses in CR, lol. that kind of made me chuckle. Interesting choice. I guess if they are small cities with places that have been there forever it would be easy to remember for the locals since nothing changes. Learn something knew everyday :P

that's great! because you are married you don't have to prove as much as a common-law couple does. so I would include as many pictures of you together and family (if possible) that you have, also include the plane tickets of any trips you took to and from Mexico/Canada. Letters from friends...

Do you have photos from your wedding ? those would be valuable.

the PGR does NOT have to be translated. :) as for time frame to submit documents, they will tell you in the request email how many days you have to send in everything.

I sponsored my common-law from Mexico, Guadalajara, and lived there for a year with him while we waited out the process. but I agree you should check out the Mexico thread. there are a ton of us on there. what kind of questions do u have...

Happy Canada day! Celebrating back in Canada, happy as can be! ;D

Rob T.O is correct. if you can get a visitor visa for 6 months and extend it for another 6 months, you will qualify for common law. it doesnt matter how or where you live together, as long as you do for 12 consecutive months.

Yes, Sweden is right Its the date exactly 12 months from when you moved in. When we went to get our common-law declaration we had to wait until exactly 12 months after we signed our lease together not a day sooner and at this point the notary told us we are now considered common-law as of this...

Hmm that's a pain, They probably lost it and are trying to find it and make it seem like your fault, I have yet to see the embassy admit when they lose someones documents yes the criminality is when they request the police checks but they will do another criminality and security check when...

lol good! Yeah I have a few friends who aren't on this forum and going through the process that I know for sure are getting correspondence, and some that are hearing things but its taking longer than expected. So at least we know they are still working!! yeah 3 weeks is still a normal wait...

Hi, That's good you know they have received it, how long ago was your application transferred to mexico city? The MP can contact CIC Ottawa and find out the last thing that was done on your file and inputted into the system. Everytime they do anything to your file they need to put it into the...
