Oh one more thing. i have a friend who just arrived in canada from the phillipines his brother a canadian citizen just sponsored him and his father at the same time. is there rules against how you can sponsor family?

Well we will be living in BC but if if makes a difference my family is all in Alberta so we could go live there too. Is there a restriction against this? how come you can sponsor parents, or adopted brothers or sisters, but not real brothers? thanks :)

Hi, Im not sure if this topic has been discussed, i could only find topics from 2006 nothing recent. im sponsoring my spouse, and once he gets permanent residence he would like to sponsor his brother at that time he would be 18. im wondering if anyone knows how long approx it would take to...

so when you land at the airport do you receive your PR card right there. or do you get a temporary card and wait for your actually PR card to come in the mail at a later date ?? thanks

Yes, the kidnappings. my fiances stepdad is actually from a very wealthy spanish background family, in mexico with alot of land. and his cousin was kidnapped 2 months ago. which i thought was kind of scary. so i asked why cause i was curious, and i found out because this guy has a hotel in...

perfectly said!! i agree with all of that. Mexico does need change and they need people willing to step up and not fear prosecution. unfortunatly alot of people are scared to say what they think.. its sad. But the young in mexico now are very vocal! and i hope some change comes out of the hard...

Yes! I agree with you. my fiance is from mexico, and really his feelings are you cant have a good life in mexico its getting worse and worse. so he is thrilled to have the opportunity to become canada!, hes counting down till he can get his citizenship aswell. and were still in the PR step. haha...

thanks! also if you care to add it, we sent the medicals with the application, although its been one year now since we did them. so they might be expired. maybe VO will request new medicals or have the new extension for them. im not sure. we will just wait and see

I was just about the say the same thing, i saw the armoured car thing. i guess its different for people living here with businesses and assests to worry about they want something to make them feel safe and i wouldnt blame them. I have a friend in zapopan aswell. and we were in guadalajara 1...

really? i never saw that one, i just heard about the feds shooting two local officers at the airport last week. but i have some friends going to school in mexico city and they dont feel unsafe, i mean if you live in the bad areas thats a different story. (but same in every city). do you know...

oh im so sorry! i must have read it too quickly. yeah same here. before i came here my finance he always told me yeah mexico is safe dont worry. but i always heard bad stories about anywhere that wasnt a resort lol. so i was nervous coming here. but now its been four months and i never once...

is Tijuana safe.. I have been in mexico, in puebla city to be exact with my spouse for the last 4 months visiting. and i read the news every single day. and i havent heard one thing about crime in tijuana or anything near that area, so i would agree i think tijuana has calmed down alot and...

This is kind of off topic, but does anyone know how long it takes to renew a mexican passport in mexico?

Oh okay. well as far as i know if you are a permanent resident you have to stay in canada until the spouse lands. but if i were you i would call cic or go to your local immigration office and ask if you are allowed to leave and enter with him. they may not have a problem with it because it is a...

I think if the father is not listed on the birth certificate you should be fine, like you said there is not proof of father, so they are not involved in the childs life. oh okay great! than the fees sounds right to me. thats about what we paid aswell. good luck!

question 1) yes all forms should be submitted together at once. if not there will be a dely and most likely your application will be sent back to you. 2) that sounds about right. but i dont know for sure if you need to pay a PRR fee for your wife and her son. or just one fee. so i cant help you...
