Thank you! We submitted the application for citizenship certificate today. I spoke to an immigration lawyer and was told that the key thing is that it's submitted and at least in process. As for the visitor record, I'm not sure if I'm just not understanding the wording but every link I find...

Hello, my apologies if I'm not posting this in the right spot but wasn't sure where it fit. I'm requesting information regarding my sister and her son, my nephew. She is Canadian but married an American, and the son was born in the USA. He is now 11 years old, but they never did any of the...

I am a Canadian citizen and my wife has applied for permanent residency. We have our final appointment next month, and, although it seems pretty straightforward, I have some questions for the letter of employment/statement of income. So my wife received her work permit last August, and she's...

Yes, I am a Canadian citizen. That's actually great to hear because at this point we don't really know what the future holds. We are in Canada for the time being but that's definitely great to know - thank you!

My wife's final appointment for permanent residency is in April. I have a degree in education, but the job hunt isn't going the best here. I may have an opportunity to pursue a teaching job in the United States, but I don't know how that would work. Is there a minimum amount of time that she...

I have another question based on the documents that we're required to bring, specifically the letter of employment. My wife has some cleaning jobs: one is a church that we clean together and then she has two houses that she does on her own. Those two houses are easy enough, but what do I do for...

Awesome, thank you. I was able to ask a few friends who had the same appointment and they gave me the same rundown you did - basically some very straightforward questions and then she'll get her PR.

Hi everyone, We received an email from Immigration saying that processing of our application has been completed and that the Windsor IRCC office will contact us to arrange an appointment for the finalization of my wife's permanent residency application. I just have a couple of questions: What...

We got a couple of new letters this past week. One was saying that I am eligible to be my wife's sponsor, and the second that she met all the requirements to be a principal applicant. For people who have been through this, does this mean that I am getting close to the end? I know they said the...

Ok, so I sent in the form that the clinic told me to. That was way back in October/November. Should I have heard from them by now? We haven't had any new emails from them since they asked for the medical examination.

I've been hearing conflicting things so I wanted to see if anyone could clarify for me. My wife applied for permanent residency earlier this year. We got her work permit and her medical exam all done. I heard that when you get your work permit, you automatically get OHIP. Is that true? Or are we...

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. I've got the document from the doctor's office and then I just wrote up a short paragraph explaining that they said everything would be submitted electronically but that we were asked to send this in.

I emailed the medical office and this was their reply about sending documents to immigration: "Hi, We will send the results but you must submit the form we gave you prior to leaving the office. If you have a lawyer that goes to the lawyer and they submit it. Thank you." But I don't see any...

Oh I'm absolutely fine with the waiting process. I'm honestly just happy that I have to wait at all because of how many times it got returned. Besides, she got the work permit until 2020 so we don't have to continually renew her temporary residency so it's a lot smoother. I just didn't know if...

Hi, my wife is applying for her permanent residency. They asked us to complete the medical exam, and we did it yesterday. I'm not seeing any instructions on any of the documents. What am I supposed to send to Immigration for her? They gave us an Information Sheet and said to send it to...

I sent my wife's PR application on May 13 and it was received May 15. Yesterday we received an email saying "this confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2018/05/15." Just a quick question - we've...

Hi everyone. I need to provide evidence of financial support/shared expenses for my wife and I. I am the sponsor and she is the principal applicant. We do have a joint bank account, but we can't provide much evidence of shared expenses because we currently live in my parents' basement and do not...

And one last question, just because I don't want to miss anything... do we both have to fill out the Schedule A form? Only because it says "the principal applicant, his or her spouse, if applicable..." I just want to make sure if that means a spouse that's coming into Canada as well or a spouse...

Ok so I changed it to make sure there were no overlapping dates and that worked! Would it be a good idea to include a note saying that there were some dates that overlapped but the form didn't allow them, or should I leave it as is?

Are you living in Canada or the USA? If you were already living in Canada when you got your FBI clearance and you did not go back and live in the USA, your clearance is still good. If you were in the States when you received your clearance, it expires in six months.
