I can't believe I screwed up! We sent in our app to CIC in December, it was open in March and I was approved to sponsor my husband. My husband just received an email requesting a "valid marriage/certificate". Prior to sending in our package, I carefully reviewed the documentation requested and...

Hi there, Just looking for some feedback to ease my husband's (sponsored by me for Canadian PR) mind. He is hesitant to change his phone number and mailing address in the States since we have already submitted our paperwork in December with his current information on it. Our requested contact...

Hi there, Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I am at a loss as to how to efficiently navigate this extremely useful site! It is time to submit my tax return. I am a Canadian in Canada sponsoring my American husband for PR in Canada. I checked married on my return, but do I include his income...

Re: work permit for outland? Hi there, I just wanted to clarify something. My husband is American and we applied outland for him to come to Canada. Is it true he is not eligible to work until he receives PR? Or is it just that he can't obtain an open work permit? Can he apply for a closed one...

Thank-you so much OhCanadiana, Saria1 and Panamai ! My husband is feeling a little better. I will check out GOGOGO. I was just about to apply for Nexus for my husband when it occurred to me that his driver's licence still has his old US address on it. He lives with his mom (therefore utilities...

Hi Everyone, I hope there is someone on here that has a similar situation and can help us out :( My American husband and I were married in Sept 2014 and in November he resigned from his position at work and planned to live off of his savings, so he could be with me more in Canada to help raise...

Just a thought...If you can visit Canada and apply outland...under what circumstances would one feel the need to apply inland?

Thank-you Alurra71! However, I am confused about one part in your answer... I was told my 12 year old son only needed a medical and that because he is a minor he is not required to get a police clearance... Was I mis informed? I am sending my application away after waiting 15 weeks for my own...

Hello! This place is amazing, thank-you to everyone for your help!! Another question, Is an enhanced driver's licence a 'national identity document' ? Is a birth certificate? I am being sponsored by my wife to come to Canada, I have a birth registration from my birth in 1971 but do not have a...

I am really not sure on how to post something on here or where it ends up in the order lol! Anyway, since it is cheaper here in Canada for medicals, I wanted my hubby and his dependent to come to Canada to get medicals done. (I am Canadian sponsor for US hubby applying outland) But...

Thank-you so much Saria1!

Hi Sara1, Is the CJIS the people to call with questions regarding why my husbands FBI check is taking over 16 weeks? Also, is it the place to mail a change of address to? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am a little confused. What is CJIS? My husband is American and applying for PR to Canada. We are about to send our application but have been waiting 16 weeks or more for his FBI clearance. They cashed his cheque and the clearance is paid for but we haven't received the...

Thank-you for clarifying! :)

Thanks! So when the agent asks how long he will be in Canada does he say "6 months"? or "I don't know"? or "until my PR is granted"? He doesn't want to be presumptuous with his answer but wants to be transparent also. He can't say 3 days and just stay for 6 months, right?

First of all, thank-you so much for sharing your wisdom!! I have 3 more questions, thank-you in advance for your time! Number one: Yes, my husband is from US and uses his passport to cross so he does not require a visa to enter but how long can he stay? I just want to play out the scenario...

Am I understanding correctly that my husband can just cross the border as he usually does when visiting and stay with me while we await pr? He doesn't need a visitor visa? I thought that if he was staying longer than 2 weeks he would need a visitor visa?

Thank you so much for your response!! I wish I had asked earlier...I could have avoided a lot of worry! Just a few more questions? 1. My hubby has a 12 year old dependent who lives with his mother and will not be coming with dad to Canada. We will obviously have his medical submitted along...

Hi there! I am a Canadian who married the love of my life in Canada 3 weeks ago. He is a US citizen and our paper work is almost complete and ready to be submitted. We were planning to apply outland until we noticed the backlog at the New York and LA visa offices which are listed at 33 and 28...
