I'm 21 can my Mom sponsor me?

I had the same thought about Taylor Hall the Oiler.

It says that "accompanying dependent children" cna be sponsored inland, which means you can only do that if you are sponsoring a spouse and a child, but since it's just you, it needs to be outland.

Just to add... A while back you asked if applying for PR allows you to stay in Canada. The answer is no. As others have mentioned, this is an outland application. This means that the application itself doesn't give you status in Canada and you need to separately make sure you keep your status in Canada remains valid if you wish to stay in the country without any issues while the application is being processed.

If you tried to apply inland, CIC will simply return the application and tell you to either apply outland or inland through H&C sponsorship. I have read posts on the forum of people getting denied inland child sponsorship only to be told to apply again through H&C sponsorship.

Online there are two forms one for a "husband, common-law, or dependant living with you in Canada " and another for a "husband, commonlaw, or dependant living outside of Canada". We are going to do the first form.......is this an inland application? One part has to go to Mississauga, that's the sponsor's application and the other part has to go to Vegreville, that's applicants portion. Somewhat confusing, but not impossible to go through once you take your time and dot all the i's and cross all the t's.

You are an outland application and both packages get mailed together to Mississauga. Once the sponsor is approved, the office themselves will forward it to the appropriate visa office depending on your nationality and where you live now.

If all this fails and you don't manage to get your age "locked in" in time, don't despair. With mother and all siblings in Canada, having spent the last 4 years studying there and your father deceased, I think you have high chances to do an H&C application (Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds). And you can do that from within Canada. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/inside/h-and-c.asp

Made a lot of progress today and now have nearly all the back-up information they asked for, just waiting on the letter from my Moms employer, but I have a couple of questions?
The police and medical reports, can submit without them? If not, where should they come from? Canada or Jamaica where I lived before? I have been here since I was 18. Tried to call CIC today to ask, but could not get past the recordings, any suggestions on that?

I believe you need to provide a police report for any country that you lived in for 6 months or more since the age of 18 besides Canada (CIC will automatically do one for Canada but please confirm this). Medicals can be done by any panel approved doctor on CIC website.

Submitting without Medicals and police report is putting you application at risk for being considered incomplete and returned. It seems like they are much more strict regarding medicals. There has been reports of some people being able to send in their police report at a later date but this is NOT a guarantee and people have also had their application returned because of that too.

Medicals can be done pretty quick. It is the Police report that is most risky for you because it can take a long time to get (varies by country) and you are very short on time.

Medical and police report must ¡e submitted with the application since you are applying outland. The only people that get the benefit of submitting their application without police/medical report with the intention of submitting medical and police check later are those who applied inland.

There have been a few people who have forgotten the police report (or sent in an expired one) and simply got a request to submit a new one. This is totally at discretion of the officer looking at the application. Again it is just a few. It is still a huge risk not to submit with the application but I fear the OP is running out of time.

I can't recall a case where an application lacking a medical was not returned, however.

I agree that it is up to the case officer to decide to return the application or not. However if the police report became expired with the application, at least the application has a chance to be accepted and be requested at a later date. If you submit application without police report, it is very likely that it will be returned as "incomplete application".

As for medical report, I am not sure how the eMedical work nowadays. Do the doctor give you a slip to submit it with application? I don't know. When my wife did her medical, eMedical was not used at the time. We were only given receipts of medical tests. No forms or papers to submit with application. So we filled out the medical form IMM1017 stating on bottom in declaration where/when/doctor's name and copies of receipt with the application.

Police clearance certificates can definitely be submitted afterwards -- I did, on advice from my lawyer. She also advised, however, that I send a cover letter with the application pointing out that the police clearance certificates have been ordered and will follow. Send the police certs after you get your client ID and file number, which should be in the acknowledgement of receipt. Note the client ID and file number is a second cover letter with the police certs so they can match them up with the rest of your application. And call or email to follow up after a few weeks to make sure they've actually been added to your file.

Medical booked for Friday at 5:30pm, documents for police certificate going by fedex tomorrow with payment for 1 day servic and return by fedex. If all goes well my package should be ready to go to CIC on December 9th. I'm sending everything...can't afford an "incomplete" stamp!

The information they have online about getting a police certificate from Jamaica if you are living in Canada is way wrong, good thing I called for myself. I would like to post the information somewhere so everyone who needs to can make reference to it

Don't forget to allow for pre-Christmas postal delays. CIC must officially receive your application before your birthday.

Send your application with a courier, to make sure quick and guaranteed delivery. Don't trust the post office, especially in December.

re-reading the OP's original post, does she need the check for Jamaica if she has been living in Canada for the last 4 years? (which means she was under 18 when living in Jamaica). If she has just been living in Canada, does she need to submit a check at all?
