    Question about changing your first name upon arrival.

    My Vietnamese wife and I are awaiting approval (her VISA) on step 2 of family class sponsorship. She used her real name, the one on her passport, but the way Vietnamese names are formed, it does not make much sense from a Western perspective. When Canada will create her PR card, she will end up...

    The website is updated once a week, so it doesn't mean that it's inaccurate. Also, they will normally update with a new date once all the applications from the previous date range have been processed.

    They received my application on february 2nd. I got my approval on Monday last week, after receiving the AOR the preceding Friday.

    Some of you will remember this documentary on marriage fraud - BIG update!

    Excellent post! While reading this article, I was thinking to myself that people should learn to be responsible for their actions. Your post describes this thought even further. Sadly, too many laws are meant to absolve people from any responsibility.

Also, there are no $1 notes in Canada, so it is US money? Anyway, let's fast forward with the wife stealing from...

    Do you mean the medical exam for sponsorshop application? My wife had her exam done at IOM in District 1, it's the main official place to have the exam done.

    Vietnam sponsorship

    Thanh, my ba xa is also from Saigon and I spent almost 8 months there last year. As canadianwoman says, you don't need a consultant. Your application must look legitimate and I feel using a consultant for the whole process could even make things worse as it won't feel as personal. The main...

    Sponsorship time frame

    Well, there's so much misinformation in here, I took the time to register to sort a few things out. First of all, the page that shows the processing times is updated ONCE A WEEK. So it is totally normal that you will see the same day being processed for at least a week. It's not because they're...
