    Proof of Relationship issues

    It depends on the type of insurance you are looking to add your spouse to. If its work benefits that cover prescriptions, dental etc then yes be absolutely sure to double check. With life insurance, that is not through a company, but private, you can add who you want to. This is what we did...

    What gets checked during the application?

    Don't worry about it - I own a business in Canada as well and my husband helped me by doing the same thing - looking for prospects using his email. I didn't pay him either and it never came up in the process or in an interview. And he did have an interview - they are looking to make sure that...

    I need help in finding cheap consultants

    We used one because we had no idea what we were doing and wanted to make sure there were no mistakes at all. 2000 pounds is fair, however be aware that will likely be the START point and they will find a way to use it up quickly and keep adding to it. Also, if you found him on Google what...

    Proof of Relationship issues

    You'll be fine...have some faith because CIC is used to bs stories - even if what you say isn't what you think they want to hear, they actually prefer to deal with people who are totally upfront and honest. My husband's interview lasted 7 minutes (he timed it because he was freaking out...lol)...

    Proof of Relationship issues

    No worries, just add him to whatever you can, and explain it well in your application in terms of how long you've been together, why there is minimal proof of living together in one place (so far). So give a history of what you've been up to, and then something along the lines of "we have now...

    Proof of Relationship issues

    Since your names are both on the lease, and I assume you have tenant insurance, why not add his name to that? And also, its really easy to open a joint account, and just add him to one of your Canadian bank accounts. That's what we did - oh and also added him to my credit card account as well...

    Need Help . . .

    It sounds like you need a family lawyer, this has nothing to do with CIC. Even if Condition 51 was still applicable, which it isn't, he is threatening you which means that you are in an abusive relationship, and under Condition 51 that means you can leave without fear of deportation. Doesn't...

    Self employed income proofs

    I am self employed as well, and have been for 19 years. I did option C for the years required, you do not have to submit for 2017 as Rob in TO said. If for some reason they ask for additional information, ask your accountant to write a letter stating estimated earnings for this year. But they...

    WARSAW TIMELINE-Join here !!

    You had it right with the Liceum - it would be highschool. The second one has me a little confused, because it should be university, but I'm not exactly what you mean by an economic technician? Do you mean an engineer??? With a ring at the end? If so then it would be university degree. What...

    My interview is two days from now. Is this enough proof.

    We had none of that, except the photos. Each case is different. Just pull it together, and go in confident. That's my best piece of advice. Oh, and in my husband's interview? They asked nothing about our relationship - they did ask what my father does for a living though, even though he is...

    *BREAKING* Conditional Permanent Residency has ended

    Just a question - yes it seems like it was a dumb idea, however I if they put in place to cut down on MOC...then it wasn't a dumb idea. For those of us who have genuine relationships we shouldn't care if a requirement is 2 years of living together. For those who were just marrying to get...

    Landed! Thank you :)

    They always say 45 days or something similar. Don't worry about it, it will come when it comes. Just take a deep breath and enjoy the fact the process is over...:-) And just as an FYI, not sure if you knew this one already, but even with a PR card, when you go into the US, you will still be...

    Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionaires, Experience, Preparations

    Are you in Canada? Because if you are, work is work, and it is viewed as income in the eyes of the Gov't here. Even if its online work, you are getting paid for it, and completing it while physically in Canada. It doesn't matter that its not a Canadian website - the point is you are making...

    Proof of Relationship to Sponsor...

    Just a suggestion, but what about a joint bank account, a joint credit card (just get an extra card on yours then send in the statement) or life insurance policy? Thats what we used, and it was enough. Anything that you have, even if you are travelling right now and moving around, there must...

    wife copr - sponsor details has mistake

    Don't worry about it! when you land the CBSA officer goes over the COPR again and asks if there are any mistakes on it (including the name), and they will correct them at that time. There are many who have complicated names (like my husband) and I'm sure they are used to seeing mistakes or...

    Passport issues

    If your passport expires in 2019 why are you worried about this right now? Just wondering...Why don't you focus on the PR and your passport after the fact? You can get a renewal in Canada - many do...its 2 1/2 years from now for heavens sake!

    Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionaires, Experience, Preparations

    Bring a lot more than what they ask for in the interview letter - as much evidence as you can provide to them, extra to what you sent in your application. If they just ask you for a few things, like a marriage certificate, and one or two other pieces of information, and that is all you arrive...

    Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionaires, Experience, Preparations

    Yes he was approved in the interview, which was a quick one (maybe 10 mins) and he was told after to wait in the waiting room while they filled out his paperwork and gave him his COPR. He landed back in CAnada the next day. Fingers crossed for you as well. Please note that in our case we had a...

    Does Every Applicant get interviewed?

    We went through an interview as well and we brought an additional 250 pages of proof - we divided it into files (trips taken together including tickets and boarding passes, proof of the fact we live together even though our application was outland - so it depends, copies of bank statements, and...
