My uncle and family was returning from abroad and was asked by the CBSA officer to show that the jewelry (including wedding bands) they had with them was previously owned by them. They were able to show jewelry on the B4 they had turned in years ago. So I agree with OhCanadiana in that...

I think Ohcanadiana's trying explain to you what CIC is asking in each question. "Period of relationship" refers to the entire time that you have known your spouse and vice versa...not just since the application date. The objective is to understand the genuineness of your relationship.

Hi, Goodman36. The link you cited is the general MTO site for driver's license. As far as I know, you definitely can get a driver's license in Ontario (and in some cases it may make sense to do it), but there is no requirement to do it. As the ongoing conversation between OhCanadiana and...

Hi, PMM, What is your source for this? I'd sure love to see the % breakdown.

Just a clarification, the sponsor does NOT have to move outside of Canada in order for you to apply Outland. As a potential alternative to common law partner application, have you considered trying to apply for a job under either the provincial nomination programs or applying for jobs in high...

Over in the new US applicant thread they have a set of FAQ's, with a short section on visits. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/us-outland-applicants-thread-t106068.0.html;msg1492187#msg1492187 I think GOGOGO's experience set out there may be helpful with what you...

There are specific reporting requirements for jewelry (include photo of each piece) and for electronics (list each item with serial number). The link in Ohcanadiana's post above to the b4 help thread gives lots of details about what needs to be done. I believe the intent is to give us the...

Happy anniversary! Congrats! Agree with all of the above!

Hi, Hunterh. I took my in-laws to Service Canada at the beginning of the year to get their SIN's. They provided their passports and COPR's and got their SIN's, no muss no fuss. Took less than 5 minutes. I don't see any reason to wait and lots of reasons not to. You need it to apply for...

It depends on whether it was received before or on the day the cap was reached or after. Hopefully it's before - good luck!

Can he get a second passport? Some countries allow you to do this if you can show you need your passport for two purposes at the same time. Good luck!

The CIC website has some good information. Unfortunately, the CIC has temporarily suspended federal investor applications received after June 26, 2010 - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/investors/index.asp pending proposed regulations that may be coming into force later this...

It depends on your visa office specific instructions. There is a good discussion about this in http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/important-need-to-send-all-documents-to-the-cio-now-not-visa-office-t45808.0.html

Congratulations and Best of Luck!

Or you can just use paperclips when needed for a few papers, and rubber bands by section or for the whole thing.

You may want to read through the first sticky (the first thread in the Skilled Worker section of the forum, titled "Important - need to send all documents to the CIO..."). They have been covering the new post June 26 rules, originals versus copies, and just about all the questions you are...

Congratulations and good luck on the next stage in your life!

You should check out the Skilled Worker section of the forum. There are two useful links on top - the second thread is a FAQ and the first is a thread about the new process for Federal Skilled Worker that is effective June 26, 2010. Good luck!

I helped a friend prepare and listening was once of the toughest ones. Practice is the only thing that helps. If you can get the Cambridge IELTS books and CD's those are very useful. For writing, we would do simulated tests but make the writing time 10-15 minutes shorter to improve speed...

I agree that the Cambridge IELTS books are the best! The later ones are more useful. I helped someone prepare for it, and it is helpful to simulate the test conditions as completely as possible.
