    Accompanying family member

    Hi there: I'll do my landing tomorrow and will bring my son with me into Canada. My son (1 year old) was born in Canada and he's a Canadian citizen. I wonder if he's considered to be an accompanying member or not? On my COPR it says that I have no accompanying member. Thanks

    Language Tests can be exempted?

    Advice on bank statements

    Why do you need a 4-month statement? If they don't ask you to submit a 4-month statement then a 1-month statement should be good. I only sent CIC a 1-month statement and didn't have any problem.

    First Immigration Application or IELTS???

    No IELTS is NOT a must. As it reads from CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-language.asp) there are two options: (1) take a language test or (2) provide other written proof of your abilities. Instead of taking IELTS you can write a letter explain how good your...
