Hello everyone, I am a bit confused about fingerprint requirements. My understanding of the guide is that fingerprints are to be requested only in the case the country performing the background check requires them, which is not the case in my situation. However, in the thread below it is said...

How do you prove the date on the pictures though?

Thank you for your answers, brucem & MilesAway. Indeed outland for Russia seems relatively fast, closer to 6-8 months, especially with Warsaw playing its role now. One of the main questions left at the moment is whether or not outland application hinders my wife's chances of getting PGWP. Could...

Hi All, This is somewhat of a 'cross-post' from Family Class forum. The question I have kind of falls in between the two forums topics. We will be applying for Spousal Sponsorship for my wife in the coming months. She is currently in a one year program in a community college that ends in...

Thank you for your replies brucem and rhcohen2014. I appreciate your help. Applying inland or outland was another question of mine that I am still thinking about. My wife is from Russia. Processing time for Moscow is currently 17 months. With 2 months for sponsor assessment it is 19 months...

The processing may take longer. Nothing crucial though.

It doesn't really matter who will pay the fees. If there are no dependents in the application you are correct - total fees would be $475 for applicant + $75 for sponsor. These fees need to be submitted along with the application. However, it is advisable to pay the Permanent Residence fee right...

Hello everyone, I wanted your opinion on possible red flags of my wife's and my spousal application. Here is a short timeline with key periods of our relationship: 1. Met my future wife (a student as well) in medschool during infectious diseases rotation (romantic, I know :D), after a few...

Follow up question regarding OWP: My wife is here currently on a study permit valid till end of October 2015. We are planning to apply inland in May 2015. If I understand correctly - in accordance with the pilot program this means that she will receive her OWP BEFORE expiry of her study permit...

Thank you for your clear answer, Alurra71. So when I accumulate 2 years I can apply right away? Or do I need to apply for PR renewal and do it only then? I understand that this question was probably answered multiple times on the forum and I'm trying to sift through 300 pages of threads but...

Hi everyone, I am a PR, not meeting residency obligations. My girlfriend came to Canada on study permit and we got married here in Canada half a year ago. Her permit is expiring soon and I'm looking to extend her stay here while I accumulate the time required. Would it be better to apply for...

Thank you, scylla. It is better to find out beforehand than the hard way, right? So you think it would be best to get filled in a college and study for couple of years then file spousal? Would applying for Seneca College ELI (English Language Institute) be an option? Thank you again.

Are the risks of losing PR high?.. It says on the "Applying for PR" page: "Humanitarian and compassionate grounds If you are unable to meet the residency obligation, CIC will consider any compelling humanitarian and compassionate factors in your individual circumstances that may justify the...
