US citizens don't need TRVs to come or stay in Canada, so I'm assuming your husband is currently here as temporary resident or has a work permit, in which case, he can extend his stay before the six month limit is due or if the passport has a stamp with a "leave by" date he can also extend his...

Hey Mary did you guys sort out the passport problem?!

They did give me the tracking number once they mailed the package so that was nice. You can try the web form or just e-mail CPC-O directly.

What did you get refused for? And do you know if you are going to have a chance to appeal? If you got refused for misrepresentation, unfortunately an apology will not cut it, if you got a chance to appeal then you can try to amend it.

Did you send them originals of those documents? CIC always reminds people not to send any originals unless otherwise asked by them, they do not return originals, if they did not ask for originals and you sent them in, you have to try to call them or send a web form and perhaps even say it's...

It means they'll most likely be e-mailing you at some point to ask for your passport, it could take a week, or it could take a month, it varies, I got mine pretty fast, but someone else on here waited over a month, it could have something to do with whether the PA is inland or not, but I'm not...

I've noticed there's usually a few mistakes here and there, which is sad, just makes people have to wait longer. Like when they put something wrong on your CoPR and expect you to send it back to get it fixed (that's supposed to take 6 months haha).

Oh, wow, I had no idea they also did it like that, in a way it's kinda nice, you get your visa on the same day and you don't have to wait weeks to have your passport mailed back, hoping Canada Post doesn't throw it in the river. Maybe his file is being transferred back to Rabat and that's why...

They don't normally make appointment dates to bring passports, they just tell you to mail it to their office, in your case, the Rabat one, together with two photographs and whatever other information they want. There should have been an address in the e-mail for you guys to mail the passport to...

In your "Ready for Visa" e-mail, do the instructions say to send to Ottawa or Rabat? If the instructions have the Rabat office address but the final stages of the visa were processed in Ottawa that's probably why Rabat doesn't want to accept it. Unfortunately MPs are usually of no help, all they...

Maybe he should go in and wait to speak to the VO or a supervisor, I know embassies are not that welcoming but sometimes it helps, unless it's really far from where he lives. There's no reason why you guys should wait that long unless the application went back to the primary office. Did you try...

Your case is different from the usual sponsorship cases because you are a Canadian living abroad, so I can't tell you whether you'll get ADR or a full hearing, in my opinion this seems something simple enough to be solved via ADR, but only the IAD will be able to tell you that. As for proof...

Aw man, I got my CoPR and there's some wrong info on it :(, I thought I was done with all of this. The errors are minimal, last entry and original date of entry as well as marital status are wrong, but I'm gonna land anyway, I've read mixed reviews, a lot of people landing and then amending...

I've received my passport and my CoPR, however I noticed my marital status is wrong, as well as last entry and original entry dates. City of destination is also wrong although I'm not worried about that. I understand you can mail a copy of your CoPR to the Operation Support Centre in Ottawa in...

Unfortunately there's no way to decrease the processing times, all applications are treated the same regardless of the applicant's situation. As per CIC's eligibility criteria, you can’t sponsor someone if you are a permanent resident living outside Canada, so your wife cannot land and then move...

1)The processing time for spouse or common-law partner living outside of Canada is around 12 months. They have made changes to the sponsorship program so now whether you apply inland or outland the processing time is the same. 2)In order for your wife to be approved as a sponsor she needs to...

I know it's easier said than done but at this point all you can do is be patient. It takes time, make sure you start gathering all the evidence you'll use for your hearing or ADR. It could take a few more months until you hear anything from them.

Hey Mary, how many days has it been since the bring forward date? Maybe send them a web form enquiry? I know web forms normally don't do anything but perhaps they need an extra reminder other than the MP? Hope you'll get it soon.

I'm a bit confused, but I'm assuming you have permanent resident status in Canada (but do not currently live here) since you need either that or to be a citizen in order to sponsor family members. You shouldn't have a problem getting a TRV to bring your children with you if that's the case. In...

I can't give you legal advice because I'm not a lawyer so take this as my personal opinion. I don't know if you are the sponsor or if you are being sponsored but you may want to wait 'til you and your husband are settled and all of this is behind you before you start your family, you are in the...
