I have a question. the job requires me to get certified AND to attend school for this and they will pay for it. Its a school of their choice and they pay for it .. everything!. Do i require a study permit for this/. Do i need to apply for a study permit just for a three two weeks course or whatever?. its just a few classes i will be taking to get a small certificate ...

Congrats BB.. if the course is less than 6 months, they you don't require a study permit.

I wish I had better news to give but it looks like we won't be having a baby. :'( I did have a bit of a faint positive a couple nights ago

Aw hon, I know thats a hard thing to go through. :-* You just gotta remind yourself that there is a reason for everything and your time will come. You are young enough to have many more chances at children and there is always medical ways to help you
Try not to let it get you down hon, the love_young I know is a "one foot infront of the other" kind of girl who knows theres always a way to move forward if you are willing to keep on going.

Thank you for the kind wishes. I'll keep u updated for sure.

To all inlanders I have a quick question. Can we submit OWP with $150 after submission of the spousal application? OWP wasn't submitted with the inland application. What are the chances OWP won't match up with the main application and $150 be gone? Thanks

You asked the same question yesterday and others already gave you the answers. It needed to be submitted with the PR application or you have to wait for AIP.

congrats!! we have the same dates April and June 22... so I guess I should hear soon too. 8)
 
ok I read in another thread that during the landing interview the officer will ask about dependents, when we applied in April my wife was due in May 2010, so we mentioned it in the forms we filled out and delayed the x-ray part of the medicals, later in Aug they requested the x-ray which we did. But did we have to "update" them that our daughter's info after she was born? Or do they really care? or worse am I screwed at the landing interview?

so if I do get a new passport later on, do I have to send it back in to CIC to re-stamp it?
No you don't. Just Make sure at the time of landing you at least have one page for an Immigration office to put a stamp on it. And your passport has to valid.
 
Hi Everyone,

Been following this thread for a while, so thanks for the advice and updates- I guess I finally got round to having some input myself!

Here's my situation:

I came to Canada with my GF (who's a PR) in Jan '09 on a 1 year working holiday visa, which was eventually extended to March 31st 2010. In March we submitted an application for sponsorship inland, received by Vegreville April 1st. Since then I haven't been working (luckily we knew this was coming so made financial arrangements beforehand) and mostly enjoying the summer, which was awesome.

However, now 9 months have passed I received a letter around new year's asking for some documents from us, which I KNOW were included in the application (Police Certificate and common law union declaration). To add more mystery to the mix, an immigration lawyer friend of ours saw our letter and said that one of his clients had received exactly the same letter, from the same officer, that week too. Could this be a stalling tactic by Vegreville, an oversight, or could they have lost a part of the application?

Also, if it is a stalling tactic, should I wait and see what happens or just go ahead and arrange for another copy of the documents (bearing in mind the police certificate alone ended up costing around $200)?

Thanks again for all your help to date guys- It's about time I gave something back!
 
Hi Van Bound,

Im not any expert on immigration, but I think whether if it's their tactic or not, you should send them whatever they asked for. You don't want more delay on your application (nine months is long enough). Like I said, I am not any expert and others probably can give you more accurate answer, I'm just giving you my opinion.

Good luck with everything! :)
 
I got a letter to provide more documents/evidence to prove our common-law union too after waiting 9 months. We provided everything initially, so I am really PO and suspicious too. I was hoping to start work and pay taxes...

or firstly call them and say that those documents were included already and why they need another ones. it wont hurt to call.
 
Hello everyone!!

I am loving the positive vibes on this board!! Everytime I think of this process I get terrified!

Just a few qiuck opener questions...Has anyone here applied or known anyone that applied for PR after getting married to someone who was not in the country legally and what the outcome was? My Fiance has been here for 1 1/2 yrs and we are about to get married and apply for PR right away. THIS IS GIVING ME HIVES! Just the idea they may send him packing and say no makes both of us scared!

Also are we going to have to go for an interview anywhere but here? We are in Calgary. ust want to know ahead of time to save the plane fare.

We met online and after talking daily (sometimes all day) on the computer, skype and phone he came to meet me in person. Once he got here neither of us wanted him to leave! So he just stayed. This is the best relationship I have ever had (we are coming up on 2 yrs now). My friends & family love him. We have no timeline yet, just getting the lay of the land as it were.

Thanks ever so much!!
Canadian loves her American Eh!
