    CIC screwed up our life together!

    What are you talking about Mexicana? DO not judge anyone except you are in a position to do so. The Family judges in Edmonton are not fools and can spot fraudulent divorce papers without your help. So keep your comments and prejudice to yourself.......also one final word- "think before you type".

    CIC screwed up our life together!

    Thanks so much for your kind words Bobshynoswife. You are absolutely right, probably better the marriage ended peacefully now than later. It will be nasty to end a marriage after so many years, with kids, properties and pensions involved. Thank God its over, and I can move on.

    CIC screwed up our life together!

    Hi Siouxie, We got married in Jan. 2010 and started the immigration process in Feb. 2010. Yes, you are right, we did have irreconcilable differences steming from immigration process and all the undue stress CIC has put us through. I cannot go to live with her in her country and she cannot come...

    CIC screwed up our life together!

    Hi Baloo, We are no saints, and we definitely had our own faults. But notwithstanding, our marriage was geniune and not for the purpose of immigrating to Canada. Based on this, my spouse should have the visa, but oh well, too bad she's my ex now.....

    CIC screwed up our life together!

    Hey Guys, Today is my last day on this site. It was an extremely useful site and thanks to everyone who contributed to educate me one way or the other. Sponsorship to Canada WILL NOT work for everyone, and unfortunately, we are one couple it didn't work out for. We have filed for divorce on the...

    Sponsoring spouse and dad

    You can sponsor your spouse anytime after you become a PR, as long as you can prove that your relationship is genuine AND you did not marry her so she can gain easy access to Canada. If your relationship is not too strong, these may be hard to prove. You need months upon months of chat logs...

    British /Canadian Passport

    You have to wait until 3-years after becoming a Permanent resident to apply for Citizenship. It takes about a year or more to process a citizenship application. So, you will be eligible to apply for a Canadian passport 4-years after you become a PR, as long as you apply for citizenship.

    Help: Problem with my mailing address - Manila, Philippines

    Usually, if your address is a P.O. BOX, then DHL cannot deliver to such address, however, if the embassy gives DHL your phone number, they will contact you and ask you to pick up the package at the nearest DHL office. Manila's response time to email is about 28-days, so likely they won't receive...

    Possible to apply for TRV if from visa exempt country?

    If I were you, I would fly to States on the one-way ticket and bus to Canada. You shouldn't have any issues if you are on the bus to Canada from US, with a one-way bus ticket. I have seen a Dutch citizen being deported for entering Canada as a visitor on a one-way ticket.
