Hi All, My friend wants to apply for a Visitor Visa to Canada: She is married to a Canadian citizen Their son is obviously a Canadian citizen They all reside abroad and have not visited Canada in years They want to visit Canada together this Summer to see her husband's family (Canadian...

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated! He will have the documents from the hospital and medical board in NB so I guess that is something he will have to verify with the hospital. Either way, it seems his connecting flight to NB (which again is short in terms of layover) is pointless as he...

Hi there, I have a friend who received his work permit as a physician in a hospital in Moncton, NB. He plans to travel to Moncton from Germany with the following flight: Frankfurt - Montreal - Moncton. His layover in Montreal is relatively short: 2 hours. 1- Will he have to stamp anything or...

For sure with regards to the latter. That is, answering the questions accurately. His concern has been more on the notion that the Canadian Visa office(s) in the United States would refuse to process his work permit to begin with as his "residency" status in the US is currently in flux. So...

Hi there, So a friend (Middle Eastern nationality) who has resided on the United States for several years on a J1 visa (Medical Residency and Fellowship), was supposed to work in an underserved area. He got accepted in a practice and applied for a J1 Waiver visa, which got denied but he...

Hi All, Asking on behalf of a friend. He finished his medical degree training in the United States (J1 visa). He has a valid visit visa to Canada (which might not be relevant). He got a full-time attending job at a hospital in New Brunswick and signed the contract. A positive LMIA should be...

Hi, For tracking purposes: Single applicant (Scarborough office - though the Oath ceremony is to take place in Mississauga) We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 24, 2018. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s)...

Hi All, My brother is a medical resident in the US (on a J1-Visa). His J1-Visa is expired but naturally he has a valid DS-2019 and I-94. He plans to visit us in Canada and return to the US on the Automatic Revalidation Visa rule, which we just realized it exists. My question is will he be able...

Thank you for the feedback (both actually), I was just getting into that conclusion, we are basically just carrying clothes, few toys and books, our personal laptops/smartphones...so yes, not quite sure those would require us the B4 form. If anyone else has a counter experience, that would be...

Hi All, A trivial question perhaps, but just to be on the safe side, I am landing in Montreal along with my wife and daughter (both Canadian citizens), we are going to bring along 6 bags in total for our combined luggage. Do I just need declare in the carried goods list my own belongings...

Hi All, A trivial question perhaps, but just to be on the safe side, I am landing in Montreal along with my wife and daughter (both Canadians), we are carrying 6 bags in total. Do I just declare in the carried goods list my own belongings selectively or do I need to declare all of our family's...

Got the IM-1 visa! I sent my passport on January 14 to the VAC in London, as I am currently outside the UK, it arrived to the VAC and got dispatched to the Visa Office on January 16. I was expecting the processing to take much longer, but got the OK on January 20! Thank you all for the support!

Hi all, A quick query: I was told by the CHC that I need to submit my passport to the VAC in London. A general question, can one bypass the VAC and send directly to the London Visa Office, thus avoiding the payment and the middle-person all together? Thanks,

Hi, I was told by the CHC that I need to submit my passport to the VAC in London. A general question, can one bypass the VAC and send directly to the Visa Office in the respective country, thus avoiding the payment and the middle-person all together? Thanks,

Thank you for that, that makes sense. I was under the impression that the VAC would securely transmit the package to Ottawa so figured that it did not matter which VAC sends it, as the destination is Ottawa but some search actually confirmed what you have mentioned. Cheers!

Hi All, So I received the letter couple of days back requesting passport submission, which I posted already. The letter suggests that I should submit the package to the Visa Application Center in London for secure transmission (although the letter doesn't mention the transmission is for where)...

Many thanks for that, appreciated! There is one bit on the medicals, which I am missing although it might be trivial: I completed by medicals in October 2013, couple of months before we submitted our application, and no further tests were requested throughout the process and I know that usually...

So just received the letter saying: "Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident visa can be issued, you must now submit the documents listed below." So basically will have to send the original passport along with photos. I actually have two...

Many thanks for the feedback, so I should basically expect being asked to send in the passport for the IM-1 visa to be stamped in accordingly. Sounds good, cheers,
