Thank you! I can remember the month in some cases, maybe only the season in others. I definitely remember the year for all of them. Again, Thank you!

I am filling out the Sponsor Questionnaire (IMM 5540), question 14. They want to know who my wife has met, who they are to me, and what date she met them. I don't know about any of you, but I don't have a mind for dates, and I certainly don't put pen to paper every time my wife or I meet...

I'm also curious about this form. I sponsored my wife once before for an inland application which was thrown out because she left Canada before PR was granted. Now we are doing Outland. For question 5 B) do I write 1 for ii) Number of persons included in previous undertakings you signed as...

Thank you La_Ardilla and Huron

Hello Everyone! Does anyone know where to go to get fingerprints done in Mexico so we can get an RCMP clearance? Specifically in Guadalajara? My wife is there and doesn't know where to go. She says the place where she did her State clearance doesn't do ink fingerprints, only a computer scan...

Canadianwoman, My wife is applying for a second time because she had an inland application in process and she left Canada to deliver our second child in Mexico. Two weeks after she left Canada, the local office asked to interview her (after a year and a half of waiting for them to do anything)...

Thanks Huron, this all opens my eyes a little more. I'm really going to have to eliminate my current trade from the list of possible occupations. There's no way that I can do the same job there, for more hours per day and earn less than 75% in a day than what I earn every single hour here. I...

I had seen reference to CAIPS but had no idea what it was. I can actually get the notes they took on our first application? What do we have to do to get them?

Huron: I'm currently following the Mexico thread. I'm following but I'm waaaaay behind. I'm at about page 30 of 60. I'm trying to read through so I do not ask anything in that thread that has already been answered. It has been quite helpful already. I have my wife trying to get ahold of family...

What are H&C grounds? Humanitarian and Compassion? A cover letter is a good idea. I had always worried that being that direct and asking for expediency would throw up some red flags. I know that the people who are handling our cases are people who have emotions just like you or I, but I hold...

Hi Lilly. My wife gave birth to our first son at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster in 2009. She had only a TRP and an inland application in process. Royal Columbian required payment at the same time as admittance (before you are allowed to go upstairs and start pushing!). They wanted...

I hadn't even considered that my relocation could be seen by CIC in a positive light. It may be very helpful to us. I have this nagging fear that CIC will look at the circumstances surrounding our marriage and suspect it was a marriage of convenience. I doubt they can view my leaving Canada to...

Well, I do not own a house. I'm currently living with my parents so as to minimize rent and not go crazy from loneliness. If I do leave Canada, I will be liquidating as many of my posessions as I can so I will have very little in the way of residential ties. I will of course have my bank...

Will it cause any issues in the eyes of CIC if I, the sponsor, relocate to Mexico to live with my wife, the applicant, for the duration of the outland application process? I have read a few posts where people were interviewed and the interviewer mentioned he believed the couple could live well...

Thank you Aneyshar

On form IMM0008 Generic, question 19, it asks for identity card number, if applicable. Are they referring to an identity card from the applicant's country of origin or for a Canadian ID card number? I ask because my wife has an ID from Mexico and she also has a BC ID card from here in Canada...

Thanks guys!

I am filing an outland application for my wife. She is in Mexico with both of our children. I am Canadian, born in Canada, and our son is the same. Our daughter is first generation born outside of Canada so she is Canadian already (waiting for citizenship certificate to be processed). My...

Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to list her address for correspondence. You do have a point about the possibility of her wanting to hide something from me. But it was frustrating sitting in the same room as my wife when speaking to them and then having to hand the phone to her. She would...

I am going to be sponsoring my wife for her outland PR application. Can I also act as her representative? We had an Inland application that was processed for a year and a half and then thrown out (she left canada) and CIC would never speak to me regarding her case and my wife was always too...
