okay, i'll bite... maybe it's just a language gender confusion issue, but why do you keep calling your mother a he/him?

A couple things .. 1)If there is any indication that you will one day marry, the conjugal will be denied... CIC will say apply when that day comes, immigration is not to "try it out" or for "fiancée"... It is for people who consider themselves spouses... 2) I've read allysons story, they are...

But she lists processing office as buffalo... Either thats a mistake or this is an Outland application...

He is a visitor, he has no recourse to public funding such as social assistance... No government on the planet would just hand out money to visitors because they couldn't work, that's absurd! If he wants to volunteer I'd say that's fantastic and smart, could get him a job offer easier once he...

maybe i'm reading it wrong, but it seems like your husband (and by some extent you) are open to helping this girl get to Canada somehow? While i can understand that she's in a place she doesn't want to be, it seems she had a good chance and blew it royally(pun not intended). After all that...

didn't know you have to physically change your name in Quebec... do people just not change their name, or does the majority change their birth certificates? but anyways, the OP asked about Ontario, not Quebec.................... here it's rare to actually change your birth name...

Okay i stand somewhat corrected, If for some reason you need to officially change your birth name (on your birth certificate) the process is here... http://www.ontario.ca/en/life_events/married/012160.html However the vast majority of people "assume" their spouses name as described...

There is no "official name change" process... You need to find out the requirements for each institution and follow their separate processes... Since it isn't a legal requirement in this country, you have to take the initiative to change everything yourself... Separately for the most part... I...

You need to send the actual marriage certificate (or copy, depending on your processing office) not the marriage registration, if that's what you're asking? As for name change, it depends where you're trying to change it... Every card/institution has it's own process so you'll have to research...

Just thought further into this... IF you work, you can collect your maternity benefits (providing you have worked enough and these are available to a 17 year old) from the US while you wait to turn 18... That way you can be together (providing your other half works and can help make ends meet...

Not sure when you turn 18, but getting married, having a baby, preparing a sponsorship and getting together the funds to send it off (1000+) could very well take some time... It's taking some people 12+weeks to get FBI reports back and sometimes they come back inconclusive due to poor...

Lets leave the lizards outta this! But seriously, lying could very likely make him permanently ineligible so it's best to get a lawyers help... One you'd probably have to pay.

more my opinon than anything else here, but you are not *expected* to give him anything... it should be expected that he lives like a man and takes care of himself rather than leeching off anyone (esp his estranged wife without whom he wouldn't be where he is in any context)... by law, you do...

not true... the debt must be to the "crown"... (i.e. social assistance, disability etc)... if he acquires personal debt (credit cards etc) that's his own responsibility... i'd say divorce him the cheapest way possible and save the lawyer money to recover any debt he might ring up against the...

only if they give you a visitors record that is good for the duration of the stay... they shouldn't do this if they suspect you're leaving as per your schedule... plans change and a return ticket isn't necessarily a contract to leave the country on that exact day... i believe if you are...

you do realize that there's a chance they may not even let you on the plane? i had to show proof of return the last time i flew on a one way ticket out of the country... the inbound immigration didn't care when i landed, but ticketing agent for the airline sure wanted to see my proof of return...

I'd say bring the translator, and set the tone of the meeting at the beginning by saying the translator is there for support and to help out incase she becomes flustered... let her carry out the interview to the best of her ability in English and if she does stumble, she's got backup to help her...

Irrelevant, but isnt your mom's sister's (and/or father's brother's) daughter your cousin, not step sister?

I would never suggest sending 237 pages of chat logs, even if they were in English personally.... Pick one day/conversation from the beginning, one from the middle and one the "end", and translate and submit making sure time/date stamps are included... State that this is a sampling of your chat...

I think the degree to which it matters probably comes from the norms of the visa office and the cultures present (and the degree to which religion might play within them)... In some places, huge issue... In others, not so much
