Can a spouse (currently living outside) come to Canada only on the basis of "Approval In Principle"? Will she be eligible for a work permit? How long does it usually take to get an approval in principle for a outland application?

I am a PR and am getting married in January. I was prepping for a spousal sponsorship and have a few basic questions. My fiancee is from a visa-required country and has got her visitor visa done. She is working in the US and will only join me temporarily in January for a month. She will return...

Thanks for the number! It helped me get the status and a good news! :)

It was the Vancouver airport. I called them at +1 613 944 4000 (thanks to @yodheydhara for the number) because I lost CoPR after landing and couldnt get my SIN or travel. I just wanted to see if they would expedite my case. Turned out they were done with my case.

Airport. I dont think it matters for the processing timeline, though. If it helps, I am an inland applicant. The photgraphs were also taken in Canada and I think the photographer knew what she was doing. There was no request for new photos. That also added to the quick turnaround.

Oh, my card arrived. It was pretty quick. A total of 22 days. Landing Date: Sep 26, 2016 Location: Vancouver Card Dispatch Date: Oct 18, 2016 Card Arrival Date: Oct 25, 2016 Cheers!

Yes, that is also a monetary instrument. Dude, just declare it unless you want to hide the source of the money (i.e., terrorism, drug trade, prostitution ring, or any other crime). In any other case, you will be safe to just answer where the money is from - "salary, savings, whatever". Reason...

Immigration and customs are conceptually different, right. Immigration is concerned about you and you alone. Customs is concerned about what you bring with you. The cash and the receipt (with amount mentioned) for the traveler's checks are perfectly acceptable form of 'proof of funds' for...

Hey there! I landed on Sep 26, 2016 and am still waiting for a PR card. I know it typically takes 41 days. Often I read a post that talks about photo retake for PR card. * How does one receive this request? Email, CIC update, or Canada Post? * How is one supposed to send a new set of photos...

Me too! Sep 26, 2016. Landing port: Vancouver. Address: Vancouver Please keep us updated!

Has anyone faced this?

Hi, I landed two weeks back and have not received my PR card yet. I will be traveling out of the country for a while and will need a PRTD stamping. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my CoPR document. Has anyone applied for a replacement CoPR? How long did it take? Thanks!

My suggestion: Do apply for the FBI report first, and then start working on the other parts of the application.

I have a closed non-LMIA work visa for a company. Will a permanent residency cancel that visa automatically? Do I have to inform my employer about my PR status? Thanks!

Why? Even in Canada, a girl can marry at 16 - with right consent and permissions. There are a 100 countries where a girl can marry at 15,16, or 17. Funny side facts about US: In New York, one can marry at the age of 14, with the consent of parents. In North Carolina, one can marry at any age...

Oh goodness, I have until May 15, 2016 to upload the FBI summary. Do you think, if all goes well, FBI will be able to send me the report in 3 weeks after credit card is charged?

Timeline update: Got my Credit Card billed today. Fingerprints were received by FBI on January 25, 2016. So, I expect to come in the next two weeks. I guess I will be able to make it within the 60 day period CIC gave me to upload the report.
