I kind of put this thread out of my mind for awhile, because talking to some people on this board feels like trying to debate a brick wall, but..... keesio and screech339, there's absolutely no reason to be snide jerks. It's unnecessary and it helps exactly no one. Yes, there's a possibility...

It...kinda has been confirmed, though? More than once? Mccallum literally said 'we're getting rid of it because it enables DV' back in April, and more recently at a consultation at the beginning of August he said that it's now going through the regulatory process. And, uh, I think you may have...

You really, really need to talk to someone at a legal aid office. There might be a chance they won't pursue a removal order - Conditional PR is on its way out (as it should be, 'cos it's a harmful and heavy-handed policy), and I would be surprised if it's not retroactive, because it wouldn't...

....I get the feeling you're not talking about an experience coming forward *in Canada, as someone with Condition 51*, though. I'm really glad the police helped you and you were able to get away! But there are a few things I feel like I should say. The police helped you. Not everyone is so...

Of course there is no perfect solution, but that's no reason to just shrug and go 'well somebody's going to get hurt no matter what!' Like, if nothing else people can at least distinguish between actively harmful 'solutions' and measures that aren't perfect but at least don't make vulnerable...

As someone whose sponsor turned out to be pretty horrendously abusive, I guess I'm going to be one of the very very few dissenting voices here and say that it's a bad policy that deserves to go. (Sorry, this is going to be a little long because I have ~feelings~ about C51.) If you're in a...

It sounds like you don't have too much to worry about for a few reasons. 1. If you told them early on (and sent them documentation by the sound of things) and they haven't pursued you 8+ months in, they're probably not going to, especially since Mccallum said IRCC is already in the process of...

The address in the email was as follows (parentheticals mine bc i can't post links yet) : Okay, in order: Neither me nor my wife have any ties to India. No family from there, neither of us have been anywhere near it...idk. I'm aware the UCI is an eight-digit number, which is why seeing "UCI...

So....I went to the Panel Physician's office today and things are just....I don't even know what. The receptionist was like 'oh it's probably a mixup, the doctor will know more, don't worry,' and then the doctor actually saw me, and he said that number one, the NDVO thing is normal because...

Small update! I....wasn't able to get through to a live person at CIC all day (sigh), so I called the clinic where I went for the upfront medical and i'm just more confused and worried now. I gave them my info and asked if there actually was something in my eMedical file, and after the...

So, I'm a US citizen (by birth) living in Canada with my wife on visitor status while I wait for my outland spousal application to be processed. We got medical tests done at the beginning of August and mailed the application package in to CPC-Mississauga on December 2 (late thanks to the...

Thanks! And one last question, sorry...if I apply using the Outland forms, will it get tossed out or anything if I put down an in-Canada residential/mailing address or otherwise indicate that I'm living in Canada right now?

Oh. Lol, I'm an idiot then. Thanks!

There's an ODSP directive that confirms it, and my wife's ODSP worker (who is generally Not Helpful) gave a noncommittal answer (but didn't say 'no this is wrong'), so...yeah. Also I've considered Outland but I'm not sure it's doable -- the information packet says that all of my family members...

First, yes, I know inland means a looooong wait and no appeals and people here are saying not to do it if you're a US citizen (which I am). There are circumstances that make it better for us - my wife is on ODSP, and the lawyer we talked to at a legal clinic told us that filing the application...
