Hi there I am on a visitor visa which the border agent put the date for JAN 26th. I prepared my SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP INLAND + OPEN WORK PERMIT APPLICATION package (and due to delay in receiving some documents, i managed to send it out just TODAY i.e. JAN 22). I sent it through UPS next day...

They don't do an exit stamp - its true, and if the country you enter only takes a fingerprint (and doesn't give a stamp), its true your passport won't show what date you left canada and when you entered that *other* country. BUT, on the forms, there is a question where you mention your entire...

I just went through the same process. I am guessing you applied for the visa online, and then got an email asking for his passport (1-2 days later). If they asked for his passport, go ahead and buy the ticket, they will stamp the passport and send it back (took about 7 days for me)

Got the Visa!! FYI - I got my tourist visa in 11 days from submission day to stamped passport (valid for 6 months, multiple entry even though i asked for a 2 month-single entry) This is in spite of a previous criminal charge (don't worry, I wasn't doing anything shady - it was for protesting...

Exactly. Plus, I am going to admit to the overstay (no doubt about it) because its better to be upfront. I am just scared it'll hurt my tourist visa chances.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for being persistent (or pesky:D) - but how do i make my application stronger?

anyone? :)

Thanks for your reply. - So - how do I explain the overstay? (I know everybody says this and it sounds like an excuse, but I really did have pressing issues: my wife's application for visa for my home country had gotten rejected the 1st time we applied, and it took a while to get a No Objection...

Hi there, I was previously thinking of applying for a PR (to get rid of this constant need of applying for visas again and again), but decided that the matter at hand is slightly more urgent. FACTS - I am NOT from a visa-exempt country - I was on a student permit, then a work permit in Canada...

So the Tourist visa won't be a problem considering the overstaying/Criminal charge?

thank you for all your help. On a related topic - given the issues (on post 1), will it be possible for me apply for and get a tourist visa in the meantime? So we could wait for the process to finish in Canada?

Its not Form 37 (or it certainly doesn't say so on the document). There are TWO pages. Page 1 comes on the letterhead of "Ministry of Attorney Journal, Ontario Court of Justice Criminal etc etc", with a handwritten note from the Court officer who sent me the document mentioning my document is on...

Thanks for your response. I also had a question regarding the importance of REFERENCE letters. Do we need them? And if yes, can i get 1-2 from the wife's family (who have spent a lot of time with me in Canada), another 1 from a former employer, and 1 from a current employer. I have seen in...

Wow - Thanks for the quick response. TWO QUESTIONS 1) You will need to provide your Court Document stating that the charge was withdrawn. I contacted the county court where this case was withdrawn, and as I am outside the country, the lady faxed me a copy of the document which says it was...

Hi there, Before posting this, I have done a fair amount of research, and I understand there's no right answer to my questions till the CIC sends you that letter - so all i am looking for is some professional opinion. Past 4 years have been very rough, so i cant afford a lawyer, so asking for...
