Alrighty then! Well, I've read the experiences of others here and they indicated that the process was rather simple and you don't have to bring anything other than your list of goods. But when I landed in St. Johns airport they asked me for several additional pieces of information. Honestly, it...

Hello everyone! I landed as planned on Saturday the 9th :) I have some information to share about my landing experience to help others be prepared but I'm not sure if I should start a new thread for that or what. Hm.

Not sure. I think there have been other cases of people on here who's medical expired and they were fine. So I'd wait and see what happens if I were you. They do often put the visa expiry date for the date the medicals expire, though. So not sure what the date will be otherwise. Don't panic...

Congrats nyssa! Yes, they need to receive it before the 10th. You might have to cancel your trip? Or send it ASAP and hope it gets back in time. How long does the email say it takes for them to get your visa ready? My email said 3 weeks and they damn near took every singly day of those 3 weeks...

Got my visa today :) will be landing on Saturday the 9th

woo hoo! Was able to get them to hand it to me today at the consulate :) it was all ready to go (visa date is Oct 5) but hadn't been mailed yet. *sigh of relief* So psyched that I get to see my husband in 2 days!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Was starting to think that I was going to have to cancel my flight.

Ugh, 13 business days since they received my passport and nothing. I emailed them on Monday saying that I have a flight booked for Saturday and I need my passport to be mailed this week. They replied and said that they'd "pull my file and send it to an officer for finalization" Here we are on...

I don't really think anyone can answer this for you. The jobs that are available and the wages change from one day to the next and one location to the next. You just have to get out there and see what you can find. Good luck!

Excellent, guys! Buffalo is definately on the move :)

It sounds to me that the reason for refusal was not because they think your relationship was fake. It says you/he don't fit the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, section 4. Which looks like it has to do with inadmissability...

It does sound like they want pictures of non-accompanying children. That's weird.

Kess' suggestion is what I did. My head measured correctly so I carefully trimmed each photo as straight as I could and making them match eachother as best as I could. I had no issues. Getting a photographer who can do it (or even understands what you mean) can be tough. The photographers I...

Ok, to kind of reitterate something mentioned earlier - I can use two copies of the B4A form.. one for what's with me and one for goods to follow and I do not have to use a B4 at all? Is that acceptable to customs? I read a thread on a different forum that B4A is a continuation of B4 if you...

I haven't even gotten my "Decision Made" e-cas update yet :P No, same size as the Schedule B instructions. They just want them to be recent. So a new shot might be in order. Congrats to Cherlyn and WMaitner/heatherusa! Hope the news is good news!

Interesting. Yeah, that's only BC. I just looked it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Canada

I didn't but I just sent them an email this morning and got a reply that they will foward my file to an officer for finalizing. What were they doing with it before, I wonder? ???

You can send it without a return envelope and they will just use regular mail to return it to you. What I did was "prepay" a regular priority mail envelope. I went to the post office and got them to put a tracking sticker on it and some stamps and stuck that inside of the bigger one. So it's...

Yep. :P

Nah, its not 80% - remember, too, that the people on this forum don't represent the majority of the people who apply. The people on this forum are the people who are careful and do lots of research and ask questions. That's how we all end up here. I imagine the average applicant who does not do...

18 is the legal age to be able to marry. Younger, if you have parental consent.
