Hi: I'm a US citizen, married to a Canadian. I brought my two children with me (who are US citizens as well) to live in Canada while my Outland Immigration application is being processed for the three of us; under the Spousal Sponsorship. FYI, I do have paperwork from the USA authorizing me to...

Thank you for the advice. I was only 13yrs at the time, so becoming Canadian was not on my mind at the time. But from my understanding of it, becoming a Canadian does not give you the right to have dual citizenship. I don't plan on becoming a Canadian in the future either. I'd like to be an...

HELP PLEASE? I have been waiting for almost two months on an approval letter for my sponsor. Well, we got the letter today and I am sooo confused. My parents and I were landed immigrants in Canada in 1980 and I lived there for the first 13 yrs of my life. Anyway, I haven't been in Canada as...

HELP PLEASE? As I've mentioned in a previous post, I have been waiting for almost two months on an approval letter for my sponsor. Well, we got the letter today and I am sooo confused. My parents and I were landed immigrants in Canada in 1980 and I lived here for the first 13 yrs of my life...

Hello December Members: I haven't been on in awhile as this process is super stressful. Despite the CIC website saying that a decision has been made on my Sponsor and a letter sent out on January 9th, I am still waiting! It's hard to ready the quick success of others having received their...

Thank you all so much for the advice and support! What a stressful process, but I do feel a lot better to know that other people's boys have less than perfect backgrounds as well. Fingers crossed it's in the mail today and he's approved. My background is pretty smooth and straight forward...

Question: Has everyone received there Sponsor Approval via mail? Or did some people get it via Email? Since we were on the topic of men anyway, my worry with the approval is...since I did the whole package I discovered that my husband hadn't done his taxes in a few years. So I had to provide...

Okay, I checked the CIC again and found our case and a Decision has been made!!! They said they sent a letter out on Jan. 9th....can't wait. I signed up for email notification and saw others received the Sponsor approval that way - hope that's not a bad sign for us. Fingers crossed for an...

Thank you for the response. I'm glad to read that I am not the only one experiencing trouble with the CIC site. Hopefully it all gets straightened out soon so that we can all track our progress. Looking forward to watching all of the progress on the spreadsheet soon. Good luck to all!

Hello Everyone: I wrote a note back on the last page, but didn't get any responses.... can anyone please help me?? I would really appreciate some expert advice, especially since it seems everyone else has good news to share. I got a letter from the CIC that my application was received on Dec...

Application sent out on Dec.2nd - Received on Dec.5th. Got a case number via email on Jan.2 Family Class Outland Question: I went on the CIC once receiving the email and verified that myself and two dependent children were listed as being sponsored by my husband. I went on today and was...

Thank you - that is great! I hope for the same. I did all of the requests upfront: medical, passports - everything was sent in before they needed to ask. I do have dependent children from a previous marriage, but I already went to court and got State approval in Washington to move the kids here...

I see that your application was filed in April and you were landed in October of this year, is that correct? Any advice on how you got that done so fast compared with the long wait times listed on the site?

Hi: My Canadian husband and I (American wife) finally submitted our application package on December 2nd. I have two questions: 1) How do I know the accurate wait times? I get that it's 29 days for the sponsor to be approved (also taking in to account they're a month behind) so it's more like...

My plan is to submit my Spousal visa application at the end of October 2013 outland. In December I plan on moving to BC from Washington to be with my husband. Even though I know I can't work or bring my stuff with me until the PR is approved I am curious about border crossing. I need to come...

Thank you for your information on how to get started! I was just married on Sept 11th to my Canadian husband and am now getting all of my ducks in a row to submit a "completed" application by the end of October. Hoping this process doesn't take super long, as I'm anxious to get moved up there...

Thank you so much for the information! The whole process feels very overwhelming. Do you think it's okay to do my medical exams now and send in the app fully completed in the next month? I can't afford to retake the medical exams if the visa process takes too long, but read that it's best to...

Hi: I just got married to my Canadian husband last week and am now back in the US ready to submit my visa application by the end of the month. I've already sent off for my FBI check and have medical exams scheduled for myself and two children (I'll be bringing with me). I want to go live with my...

Thanks for all of the advice - it makes me feel so much better! I looked in to the temporary/visitor visas for an interum thing, but the wait times on those seemed just as long because of the strike. So outland visa is best and a Nexus card - check. Do you think I can do this without a lawyer or...

Hi: I am an American citizen who is marrying my Canadian finace in a few days in Canada. I'd like to live with him asap but am concerned about how to do it legally. From my understanding, if I move there I can stay up to 6 months, but need to submit the visa inland during that time? While I...
