    who will get AOR

    I noticed you have posted this repeatedly for the last two months, that you're super worried. However, whenever someone responds and asks if you have contacted CIC, you ignore their questions. Why is that? May 3rd...

    Mail proof

    We sent photocopies of our bills and they accepted it. Also, only one of the 'same type' of bills had the whole thing printed. The others were just parts where it showed her name, etc. Examples: - Fido phone bill. First copy is full. Other copies, partial. - Shaw phone bill. First copy is...

We met in person in Germany in April 2012. I stayed for about 13 days. 3. We met again in person in Germany in September 2013. We...

    Have family class sponsorships always been so slow?

    Why wouldn't this make sense? As time goes on, the country gets more populated, so more restrictions would need to be in place to limit the flow of immigrants. Also, as various events happen around the world, bigger security measures come into play. Thus making the review process more arduous...

    Wedding photos or not for sponsoring wife

    Exactly this. I know of five different people who went through Outland application. One that came from mainland China were together in a relationship for over 6 years, but had a very simple wedding with just the two of them, a couple of friends and the wife's pastor. CIC gave them hell and they...

    Wedding photos or not for sponsoring wife

    The thing to remember when applying for things that will make a review of the sincerity of a relationship, is that you need to prove that sincerity. In other words, don't cut corners. In terms of photos and your wedding, as Mikey has suggested, definitely do one that shows that your...

    Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for new CoPR

    Hello everyone... I already took a read through this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t346856.0.html and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp. On the CIC website, it said: You cannot apply for an eTA if you are: - a Canadian citizen or a dual...

    Medical exam - 400 Dollar???

    My wife lives in northern Germany, a few hours from the border of Denmark. She had to go all the way to Berlin for a medical exam. The medical exam cost 260 euros. The 5.5 hour trip there and back cost about 150 euros. So while the exam itself was only 270 euros, add that up with the cost of the...

    Wife just got approved (DM) ^_^ - One way ticket or two?

    Thanks Ponga. Unfortunately, I checked the airplane tickets that fly from Hamburg to Vancouver and they are SUPER MASSIVELY expensive if we do two-way fully refundable tickets. For some reason, even when we choose a flight time months in advance, it costs around $3200+ cdn for a two way. A...

    Wife just got approved (DM) ^_^ - One way ticket or two?

    Hi everyone... The people here at CanadaVisa.com was able to help put a lot of my worries away in the last year, as my wife (in Germany) and I (in Metro Vancouver) went through the whole PR process. It has been nerve wrecking to say the least. It took CIC just a bit over 5 months to approve her...

    Using Whatsapp for Proof of Relationship

    For us, we sent about 70 pages of Whatsapp messages and then about half a dozen photo-taken images of me holding my phone up, clearly showing a few of the Whatsapp messages on the screen. This way, whoever is reviewing our chat, can see the corresponding screenshots of what they really look like.

    Concern about possible red flag(s)

    The response I got from some other long-time members of this forum is that "enough" could be as little as a few letters, a handful of photos and some phone bills. However, I didn't want to take the chance, so I sent in: - 160 photos (wedding, casual hang-out, family gatherings) - 75 pages of...

    Liberal Immigration Policy

    The Liberal party has a history of breaking big promises, especially with the way BC teachers and nurses were treated. Indeed, I would love for my wife to have an easier time with the PR status, but with all of the things the Liberals have done over the years, especially under Christy Clark...
