Thanks a lot. :)

You are probably right, though it is quite hard for a retired person to remember all this stuff since age 18. lol Oh well. Thanks. I may be over thinking this, but I have a few more questions: This application package includes: Document Checklist — Sponsor [IMM 5771 ] (PDF, 367.92 KB)...

Can someone help clarify, please: For the Schedule A (Background /declaration), IMM 5669: a) Question 7 - Have your ever been a member of an organization, such as a trade union, professional association, or political, social, youth or student organization? It does not state the time frame they...

Can someone help clarify the following, please: For parent/grandparent sponsorship: some background info: - friend is married but separated from spouse (she will select 'legally separated' for current marital status), no dependent children - selected to sponsor her parents/grandparents - parents...

From appeal cases I;ve read, it's seems visa officers are very interested in how the relationship develops which could explain why they are asking for correspondence from 2012 (when your relationship began?). It's possible to download your facebook data - if you click on "account settings" on...

Ofcourse you have to ask the person and it was clearly explained in my post.

Sometimes they call references. You can use your US friends, afterall they would be able to answer questions about you compared to co-workers. You could also ask your pastor, family doctor, lawyer, etc if they have known you for at least 2 yrs.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible while outside Canada. I don't see the point of rushing though. When you arrive and sign up for your cell phone and utility bills, you will begin to build credit. Paying them on time each month helps establish good credit. If you have a large sum of...

He or she has to start somewhere. It's easier to find a job if you are already employed.

That's the spirit! Good for you. It is well. Take care.

I think officers are experienced to spot the difference, but they are wrong sometimes. Or they get it right (refusal), the sponsor appeals and wins only for the applicant to abandon the sponsor. I wouldn't want their job, at least not this category(family sponsorship). I don't think being...

I'm so sorry this happened to you. You did the right thing by reporting him to CIC and CBSA. They will investigate and take the necessary actions. Unfortunately, they won't tell you anything about their investigation or him for privacy reasons. No matter what happens, try not to let it consume...

I don't think that's what she was asking though. Situations like these call for some cultural sensitivity. I'm sure you meant well, but saying she failed to do due diligence and married someone she didn't know sounds like "blaming the alleged victim", especially considering hers was an arranged...

It also depends on your culture and whether it is common for men to marry women significantly older. If it's not common in your culture, be sure to address it upfront. It's sexist but CIC officers process applications keeping in mind the customs/norms of the region. The other thing to keep in...

You can check your application status online here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp Also, you can request your husband's GCMS notes here (cost $5 and your husband needs to fill out a consent form): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

Since you are the one being sponsored, enter your name under "principal applicant" and your wife goes under "spouse".

I've just completed the survey. I suspect experiences and suggestions would be similar across visa offices. Goodluck with the results and hope you get to share on here when it's published.

I'm confused about your questions. You may not get a good outcome if you don't follow instructions. Don't be in a panic, read their letter and provide what is asked. Their original request said: "A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an...

For a criminal record check for your wife from Canada, see this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/canada.asp Since she is outside Canada, Commissionaires can help, see this: https://www.commissionaires.ca/en/national/service/individual/fingerprinting...

For what it's worth, if there is a problem with your application they will either schedule an interview or request whatever document is missing before making a decision. It's more likely a glitch with ecas. Unfortunately, I don't think you will get answers as to why especially if it will entail...
