From what I have been reading it happens closer to the end these days. Funny how the CIC gives people different answers. A friend of mine that I met on this forum addressed the issue by getting a TRP to have legal status so they could apply for the OWP. Mind you this was just before the OWP...

Yes...this answer is spot on. You must put your current address as the one where you reside right now, no matter if you are here 1 month or 1 year...that is your current address. But in the appropriate spaces you must list your previous addresses with no gaps or overlaps. For example: If you are...

I agree with Wakki. Stick to what you said on the application. As far as anyone is concerned your relationship grew once he was here. If he says something different at the border compared to what you said they may not let him in at all.

This would be why he was denied to sponsor you: From the guide: You can’t be a sponsor if you: have failed to pay: an immigration loan a performance bond family support payments He may have been considered behind in payments because it was an open case. I would try again now that it is...

Her address is where she is currently residing. If you have applied inland I am assuming she is not returning to her home country before the process is complete so your Canadian address is her current.

Also if your app is straight forward and was submitted in Oct 2017 you are likely near the end of the waiting game as it is :-)

Also some of the confusion comes from types of work visa. IEC holders CANNOT keep working past expiry but the reason so many advise they can is because you CAN do that if you have a regular OWP and have applied for a renewal. But the IEC visa and OWP are separate. 1 you can do this and 1 you...

You can apply for a TRP (Temporary resident permit) and re-apply for OWP. The TRP will give you legal status again and then they will process your OWP. They are right you cannot "restore" your status as it has been more than 90 days. If you opt to wait I would not bother applying for an OWP...

Read the section about criminal admissibility. Seems your convictions are not too serious but important to note if it has been more than 10 years since the COMPLETION of your last sentence (fine, etc) you will be deemed rehabilitated. Check out the info and forms they have available. I would be...

A friend of mine went through this process and was out of status for 6 years. They were advised by CIC to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit as this makes your status a legal one again. They sent in the TRP app with an OWP app at the same time as their PR app, he was granted both TRP and...

I saw someone else go through this. If you are out of status you need to send in the form with 2 sections checked off and 2 sets of fees. 1 for a Temporary Resident Permit (which will put you in legal status again) I think that fee is $200 but double check that and 1 fee for the OWP. OWP fee is...

If you are required to attend an interview they will instruct you. Some interviews your spouse is not in the room at all and some they are brought in part way through. Yes it is usually due to them questioning the validity or "realness" of your relationship. If they want to see you they will...

No worries, just some suggestions. Oh and Royalties...yup a tiny stake in an oil well. He gets about 100-150 US a month (depending on price of oil, some times it is 2 months between cheques. They only cut a cheques if you reach 100 for the month) but every little bit helps! :-)

Sounds like she got some bad advice. Being out of status she could have applied for a TRP (Temporary Resident Permit) along with her PR app and she would have legal status while she waited. Some don't even do that and still don't end up deported if the PR app is in process. As far as I am aware...

As there is no guarantee that your PR will be completed by your deadline I would zip in a OWP application (reference your PR app number). If you have a current work permit and apply for a renewal and your current one expires before the renewal comes through you can actually continue working...

No if you have lived here more than 6 months but have not lived anywhere other than India and Canada they will obtain a RCMP check themselves.

Not entirely accurate but CIC is confusing on this subject. She needs one from China (the one she has from 2011 will suffice if she has not lived anywhere else in between there and Canada but CIC will obtain their own from Canada as seen below: " If you (or a family member 18 or older) have...

Would the easiest idea not be to keep an American account at an American bank, allow your SS deposits to go in there and up here have a US funds bank account at a Canadian bank - just write yourself a cheques drawn on your American bank account and deposit it to your Canadian US funds account...

You may have an issue trying to come back in without a PR card. A friend of mine has had PR most of her life (came with parents many years ago) let her PR card lapse (yup they do expire folks) and they would not let her board the plane to come back to Canada because the card was expired. She had...

Have her added to your lease, open that joint bank account and have her added to your medical benefits through work. If one of those cannot be done a letter from 1 person on each side of the family would cover it.
