We have been asked to submit police certificates along with other documents for sponsoring our dependants. For passport, national id cards and birth certificates, they have mentioned copies. But for police certificates, do we send the original ones we received or a colored photo copy? Thanks

Hi. If a protected person is applying for PR, will his/her children of the age of 19 be able to to come to Canada if they are financially dependent on parents? They are students

Thanks a lot for replies Aebo, Obib and Krive. That is where I was confused. Because she is already here in Canada. The husband and children are not accompanying her. So she still checks the part of the application that they will be accompanying her? Thanks

Hi. My aunt claimed refugee status in January and her case was accepted by IRB in March. So now she can apply for her Permanent resident status. Her husband and step children are still back home. Do we have to fill more forms for her spouse and dependents to come to Canada? Or will they be...

Thank you obib, PMM and sopranotbab for your replies. It is very helpful.

Thanks for making that part clear Kriv. Any idea if the dependents of a refugee claimant are allowed to travel to their home country?

Thanks for the quick reply. One more question. When a refugee claimant's family is given a permanent resident status upon him / her receiving their PR status. I am not sure if they would fall under the sponsored category or not? Because they were not actually sponsored by the refugee claimant...

I do know that if you have claimed refugee you cannot visit your home country with a PR status. What about other family members like spouse and kids who were sponsored by the refugee claimant? Would they fall in the same category or can they travel freely?

My friend, I didn't ask if this session is helpfull or not, what I am asking is if it is compulsary or optional. My wife is in Kabul, Afghanistan and the orientation is going to be in Islamabad, Pakistan. She has to travel from one country to another.

I received a mail from Islamabad Visa office asking for my wife's passport so they can give her a visa. In that mail there was another letter from IOM which mentioned that my wife has to go for a one day orientation some time before departure. We have to fill a Canadian Orientation Abroad...

I decided I won't send them an electronic proof. I sent the visa office a letter along with my original wedding certificate. In the letter I mentioned that If they ever want it, than I will send them a copy. So if they don't ask for it, I am not sending them cd/dvd. @ ThirstyDeer...

Thank you for your replies. Actually I am sponsoring only one person. So I am good to go.

What is the difference between "Right of Permanent Residence Fee" and the fee we are suppose to pay when we are sending the application. I paid like over $1000 when I was sending the application to Mississauga. Did that include the "right of Permanent Residence Fee" or we have to pay more...

Thank you for your replies I have used phone cards for long distance, so I won't be able to provide them with that kind of proof and we have only used msn one time (she doesn't have access to internet). so we can not send them any videos/tapes?

Hi every one, I have a small question. They have asked a lot of you to send additional documents, which has caused a delay in your application process. So I am thinking of sending 2/3 additional documents to prove that we were married and we are still together. For example a copy of my...

Dear Rahimi, Thank you for your reply. Islamabad started processing my application on May 12, 2008. I hope the case goes smoothly and we don't come across any problems. How is your case coming?

Haha no it is a first time marriage. I am only 21 years old, so I hope they don't have any problems with that.

Salamoona Rahimi sahib, My spouse is in Kabul and our marriage took place in Kabul. I don't have a Pakistani visa on my passport, so I cannot tell them that we were married in Pakistan. I sent the entire package (money order receipts, police certificate from kabul, medical results, wedding...

Hi, I am an Afghan-Canadian and I am trying to sponsor my spouse (she is in Afghanistan). We don't have a Visa Office in Afghanistan, so we are using Islamabad's Visa Office. What I want to know is, how long will our case take? or how long does an average case take? Our application has been...
