    IMM 5533 - Proof of relationship to Sponsor

    Hi I need some help with this question. My wife is in Canada on a TRV and we just got married and moved in together, applying for inland spousal. There is some aspects to this question I don't understand. Firstly, are we defined as "living together" if she is just on a TRV? I don't understand...

    Inland application - address in canada or back home?

    For our inland application we are confused about the current address. If my wife is here on a TRV are we currently living together at our canadian address? Or is her address still in her home country?

    Appendix Items?

    I also wonder the same thing, we don't want to include our text/chat transcripts for privacy reasons. Are they really necessary for instance when we have 3 years of relationship history, travelling to visit each other, pictures of us in each country, etc?

    documents translated outside of country

    I need some help understanding the translation requirements. We have certified copies made in Vietnam, they are stamped by a notary public and then translated by a translator who also has stamped the translation. Are these documents acceptable? It is not possible for us to get the original...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    Like I said, I read through the website of Alberta health several times and it was not clear to me, calling Alberta Health and speaking to their agents (4 seperate agents) each time getting a different story. Per the AB Health website: "Alberta Health requires applicants to include one of the...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    that's where I disagree, if you are attracting immigrants to your country why shouldn't things like tax rates and health care information be made available? You are of the opinion that it is a loophole, I doubt it, the government knows full well where its health care budget is going. IMO it is a...

    translation of birth certificate

    We have a certified copy of a birth certificate that we want to get translated in Canada to english. However the photo copy was made in the original country stamped/certified (not in english). Does anyone know if this is acceptable to immigration if we use this as a "certified copy" and...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    I'm afraid there is only so much investigation and preparation one can do with the limited information provided by the government. We are left to post on forums relying often on conjecture or opinion. Especially given that you literally cannot contact an immigration agent by phone to get your...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    in which case they would have a stamp in the passport showing the length of the stay permitted right? Therefore no stamp means 6 months from the latest proof of entry we can provide which is a boarding pass with her name on it... if immigration decides on rolling out a policy not to stamp...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    where are you getting your information from? Under what grounds are we permitted to apply for a visitor extension. Through my research the correct forum is verification of status IM5009, or under "verifying or amending documents" on the processing time calculator 6 months... and in what...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    this is beyond idiotic. Yes visitor records are accepted. To obtain a visitor record if immigration didn't stamp your passport is a 6 month processing time. So its moot since your TRV would expire by the time the record came in. All because they can't look at a TRV and boarding pass and accept...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    As of right now nobody (called AB health several times and spoke with different agents) can confirm this question: Can a spouse of a canadian citizen on a TRV apply for Alberta health care? Nothing on their website confirms it, it is all ambiguous with "may" being used a lot. Applying for a...

    AB Health care while applying Inland Sponsorship

    The frustrating part is they should have access to the same information immigration does. IE if they choose to be lazy and not stamp passports at the border because it is electronic, then they need to share those records with the provincial government. We did not get private coverage because I...

    Ok we tried to apply for AHCIP and were denied, they said that she does not have status and our marriage certificate is not sufficient. the registry agent told us that rules had just changed as of May 1, 2018. Is anyone else having the same issues? I called Alberta Health and they said that...

    Has anyone declared a 6 month stay successfully at the border?

    booking a round trip ticket is not the issue. The issue is if she shows up in canada with a return ticket in 6 months, and immigration says to her "That's too long, you're being denied entry and being put back on the next plane." I also don't like to have this burden of proof each time she...
