Thanks for the suggestions so far... my worry is how the immigration officials in Mexico will react. The fear is that by only presenting a Mexican passport when leaving Mexico that they will not allow boarding because there is no valid visa in there for Canada. Can you really show 2 passports...

Hi everyone, I need some help determining visa requirements for a visitor to Canada with dual citizenship. I have family members coming to visit from Mexico for a couple of weeks who have dual Mexican/Dutch citizenship (with both passports). I know that Dutch citizens do not need a visitor's...

To reply to Jez's question, we basically decided to send an email back to the IO in Berlin and to again address all the suggested requirements for proof of re-establishment. Here's what we replied: -offer of employment / contract from a Canadian employer: we mentioned that I was planning to...

Hi everyone, I didn't have any luck getting a response in the "Settlement Issues" or "Finding Work in Canada" forums, so it was suggested I try here considering you are all experts with regards to assessing your skills and qualifications! My parter has his PR Visa (obtained via the family class...

Hi everyone, I didn't have any luck getting a response in the "Settlement Issues" or "Finding Work in Canada" forums, so I thought I would try here considering my partner did receive his PR visa via the Family Class route. Essentially we're planning to land in about 3 months and we're...

Hi everyone, My boyfriend has received his PR visa (family class) and we are going to land in Toronto in May - he will be looking for work in the marketing field. Our question is whether his Masters degree in economics from a Dutch university will need to be evaluated by an institution to...

Hi everyone, I wasn't sure where to post this topic so I'm trying a couple of different subject areas. My boyfriend has received his PR visa (family class) and we are going to land in Toronto in May. Our question is whether his Masters degree in economics from a Dutch university will need to be...

Hi Aroundtown, Just wanted to let you know that applications through Berlin (family class) seem to have gone pretty quickly in the past few months...my case included - just over 3 months in total for approval including a request for additional information. I know of at least 2 or 3 other cases...

We've just received the PPR for my boyfriend - yay! very quick in our opinion. However, on the letter from Berlin, it does not specify how to send or receive back the passport. I know there are a lot of threads about this topic but we were wondering if anyone has had specific experience with...

I was hoping someone else might have encountered this same request for additional info re: re-establishment and might be able to offer some advice! Our plan at the moment is to reply and refer them again to the letter with our detailed plans, and then clearly explain why I don't have a job...

Hi MYSG & whoopi83, I'm glad there are others who share my feelings of surprise! We were pretty confident with the package we sent in and even had a "final check" done by a consultant. I understand what they mean by "objective" but come on, it's hard to secure a job and housing without a firm...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of sponsoring my partner outland for PR. The sponsorship portion was approved in less than a month in Sept. and then moved to Berlin for the PR application to be processed. Now, we've received a request from Berlin as follows: Please provide objective evidence...

Hi everyone, I have a strange question I need your opinion on... We're planning on sending in our application package next week (woo hoo!) to sponsor my common-law partner - we are both living abroad in the Netherlands. However, next week we're going on vacation to Canada and thought it might...

Thanks everyone for the tips so far. I guess the way I'm thinking of it is that there's 2 arms for the proof of re-establishment: housing and employment. My concern is that we don't have any lease and we don't own any property in Canada and we don't intend to look for something before we send...

We're currently living together in The Netherlands. And preferrably we move to C. together. e-mails with recruitment companies about potential jobs--->does that you have the job or not really? No, just some correspondence about jobchances. Some e-mails with brokers does show the intention to...

Hello all, I am sponsoring my common-law boyfriend for Canadian PR. Part of the sponsor application is of course the the details of re-establishment. We're thinking of including the following documentation: I) 2 letters from my family that they will support us if necessary II) e-mails with...

Hello all, I am sponsoring my common-law boyfriend for Canadian PR and we are hopeful that our case will be processed quickly. The issue is that we plan to go travelling while we are waiting for his PR application to be approved. And so, when/if the "Passport Request Letter" comes, how long...

Hi all, I can't seem to clarify the issue re: certified (notarized) translation. Is it absolutely necessary to have the translations notarized or will certification by the translator be enough? We will need to translate some of my boyfriend's Dutch documents (to be sent to Berlin). Any...
