Adding our time line: My Mexican husband mailed in his package from Edmonton on February 5th, 2018. He has been here since 2008 and PR since April 2010. Hopefully ours is straightforward.

hi there!! We live in Edmonton. He requested his driver's history from Mexico, and sent that into have it officially translated. Once that was done, he went to the registry office with this: - banking mail (to confirm his residency). You can use anything that has your name and address on it...

My husband got his driver's license before he got his PR. He had to send for the equivalent of a driver's abstract from Mexico, and have it officially translated, and then he wrote his written driver's test and got his learner's license. Because he could prove that he had a valid license from...

If you applied Inland, through Vegreville, then yes you can submit an application to change conditions, and put on it that you are applying for an open work permit. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visitor.asp

Not sure if this was mentioned, but if you are applying inland through Vegreville, you can submit an application for an open work permit request. Once you as the sponsor are approved, they will process the application and possibly grant him an open work permit. Thats what we did. The first stage...

Some ideas quoted from the article: "Sometimes we have foreigners who do not have a criminal conviction and are therefore not strictly inadmissible to Canada under our current law, but who, for example, may have a long track record of promoting violence or hatred against vulnerable groups,"...

Just a quick question, is it advisable to put in n/a in the blank areas, if it doesn't apply? I just don't want them to send the form back for something like that. Thanks!!

Quickest way right now, would be for him to start applying for a job. He will need to find an employer who is willing to submit papers to hire a temporary foreign worker.

OMG Charmainefrances, so sorry to have read this so late, I didn't see this until tonight, but I finally read it and any news? We heard in Feb, after our file was transferred in October, 2009. So we heard from our IO in Feb 2010. She called me then my husband at work, we had our interview over...

HI there!! I have read the instructions a number of times, thanks!! As my post had stated, I am aware of the eligibilty date, I was just checking into see if anyone else has heard the same thing. We put alot of trust into what the Customs officers say these days, that it doesn't hurt to doublecheck.

Hi There!! My husband will be eligible to apply on April 21st of this year. However, a friend of ours, who also became PR on the same day as my husband, was told by an custom's officer that he can apply right away even though he is not eligible yet. They won't turn away an application even if...

Try TD Bank, they gave my husband a 500 Credit card to help him establish credit. Mind you, he opened an account too the same day.

Has anyone submitted an application to the VAC and were able to track it? It asks for a tracking number and I was wondering if that was the tracking number from DHL. My brother in law submitted the app for a TRV so we don't have the number handy until he gets online later. If anyone has...

Just to clarify, in Canadian Immigration terms, sponsorship is part of the process of applying for Canadian permanent residency. Sponsorship is not part of the working permit or temporary resident visa. You are eligible to obtain an open work permit because your spouse has a work permit, but...

Hi there!! Do you happen to know if you received AIP? Our file was transferred there without AIP in October 2009, and I am not sure when they opened it, but we received a call in February 2010 from an officer, who approved our file after asking us a few questions over the phone. We sent in...

Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it. As hard as it is to let my son go for a week, and I know that it will be so difficult for my husband to look after a squirmy 23 month old on a 5 hour flight, I would hate for him to have problems at customs.

Hi There! This question is a bit off topic, but I am Canadian and my husband is a Canadian permanent resident, and also a Mexican citizen. He is taking our almost 2 year old son to Mexico at the end of the month to visit his family. Sadly I cannot go, I will be 8 months pregnant, and also not...

One more suggestion that helped me, was to have different resumes for different career paths. I was laid off, and am an IT professional. I have a professional IT resume, and another one that is geared for a broader range of work, such as customer service in retail. My second resume does not...

Wow! Terrific thread, just wanted to add something, there are illegal questions that you do not have to answer, it is your right regardless of your status in Canada. Examples, "are you married", "are you a Canadian citizen", etc I found this link that might help...
