    New passport before biometrics request

    Hi everyone, we submitted our application in mid November. After that my wife had her passport renewed. AOR came in on Dec 15, the biometrics request on Dec 19 and I was approved as a sponsor today. I honestly did not expect things to move this fast. Anyways, I called the Visa Application...

    Translation outside Canada

    I think I will just send the translation, the affidavit and the original police certificate. Getting a certified copy would probably cost more than getting a new certificate. I will let you know if IRCC refuses to accept my documents.

    Proof of cohabitation (outland), translation necessary?

    Proof of cohabitation (outland), translation necessary?

    Did you pay to have it translated? How much did that cost you if you don't mind me asking? The guy at city hall told us we would get a multilingual police certificate, but he said it would take a little longer to receive it. Now I have two pages: Page 1: Partially translated police certificate...

    Wait for approval in Canada

    I asked someone at the local immigration office about this and he said they don't like to let people in who are having their application processed. But here in this forum a lot people say that is exactly what they have done (in a lot of cases without any problems). And even on the official...

    Wait for approval in Canada

    Thank you all for responding. I am supposed to send the application to Sydney, Nova Scotia. Just in case my wife is invited to an interview, would she really have to go to Vienna for that? And has anyone tried to apply for an extended visitor visa before coming to Canada? I think I am going to...

    Proof of cohabitation (outland), translation necessary?

    Thank you for your quick response! It just seems like such a waste of money to have a tax form or electricity bill translated because it includes a lot of information that is not vital to the application process. I will try to find out if I can get a multilingual document, that shows that we...
