anybody from dominican republic?

[Mrschino]

he isn't in santo domingo right now or else he would go there. he brought the paper with him with the photograph specifications. the photos he had done last month were the correct size.

Was the problem the stamp on the back?? Is the stamp clear?? I can't see what the problem is! Especially since ours were definitely not correct... 2x2 probably! They were square not rectangle!

they specifically told both him and I on the phone that the dimensions are wrong and that they have changed the size recently... but when I look back at the first email when they requested photos and then the email they sent after I spoke to them.. the dimensions are the same!!

I give up! Anything that could have happened to us during this process, has happened!
17 months and 1 day... and counting!

They don't give me a chance to talk. I asked them to give me the opportunity just to say a Word. They said no, because they already send me the email. So they told my wife not to worry. We have the option to appeal and we will win the appeal because the only cause to reject the is if the applicant has interdiction to entry in Canada or if the applicant has a criminel record.
But, they fail dominicans and suggest them to appeal on spot because they know if the marriage is not genuine (business) you be affaid to appeal. But if you appeal That's mean you are clean and you spouse will be with you in Canada.
Just take a little long.Yes I phoned my lawyer on the spot he told me don't panic ! We are going to take care of it. By the way my wife is younger That's normal and we are a beautiful couple with our pic posted on Facebook.
We have better looking than these People working at the ambassy. Lol. They are jealous !

Havent hear good news around here lately, just a few not very good news, hope things chage for better soon,
good luck to everyone still waiting like us.

I am hoping that someone who has gone through the entire process including landing in Canada can answer a couple questions. How long did it take to get admitted to Canada once you were at the port of entry? Is there anything special that we have to make sure we have besides of course the COPR and the visa? Anything else that you can tell me that may expedite matters would be appreciated. Thanks

My husband landed in Toronto. The entire process took him maybe five minutes. You should take a list of everything you have with you and goods to follow if you are having items shipped to you after you arrive

Thank you mrschino. I was a bit worried about the time period getting into Canada. I hope that ours goes as smoothly as yours did. Thanks again for your reply.

Good Sunday Morning everyone! We are finally back from our travel adventures so my first order of business is to get together with our Latino friends!! SO, who's up for another fiesta Latina for immigration groups friends??? We are willing to host a get together at our humble home in Cayley, Alberta, just south of High River, which is just south of Okotoks, which is just south of Calgary lol. It's about a 30 minute drive from the south limit of Calgary so plan accordingly, i.e. pack a lunch .Our target date is Saturday June 4th (before everyone gets busy with summer activities) at 4:00pm until Midnight. We would like to do de traje pot luck again but as the host house we will do a carne asada. Plan to bring your best latin pot luck dish again as well as any beverages you may wish to enjoy for the occasion. It'd be great to improve on the number of attendees over our first awesome get together. Whether you live in Calgary, Fort Mac, Edmonchuk, Lethbridge, Cranbrook, Medicine Hat or out in the boonies, you are welcome! We will likely need some of you to bring a couple chairs as our house is not near as big as Kevin Aughey 's was. I have posted this on Mexi-can spouses as well. Please reply here so we can gauge how many will be attending. Looking forward to seeing all of you again!! Nadia and Marc

How long does it take for them to respond to an email.
We sent one about 2 weeks ago to mexico-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca
A simple email asking where they were going to return the passport, to VAC or to my the residence.
FYI: the passport was taken at the interview

from my experience, they take 2-3 weeks to reply to any email.
from the interviews in February, they didn't take passports at the end of the interview, but in the round of interviews prior to February, they did take passports after the interview. I know those applicants received emails to provide a return waybill so they could send the passports back

How do I provide a return waybill?

Thanks

I think your wife would have to go to Fedex, UPS, or DHL and they prepare it, and she would have to prepay for it, then I believe you can email Mexico a copy and then they arrange for the courier

Don't use Dhl unless there's no other option!! It cost us 5500 pesos to get the passport returned!!

in total? or just one way?
I think they need to change the way this is done, so much money is being sent to send and receive things from Mexico!

It was 3500 pesos to send to Mexico and 5500 returned.. assuming because no other courier would touch our passport
