INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[computergeek]

Hello and Congrats to everyone with good news!

I have a question about the police check. My wife came to Canada as a foreign exchange student before she's 18 (she's still is a foreign exchange student); is it true that she does not need a police check from her own country?

Also, does anyone have experience sponsoring a foreign exchange student? Is there anything I should be on a lookout for?

Many thanks in advance for the helps.

While technically true, visa officers often ask for a PCC from the country of birth anyway. So while not required, it is a good idea to get one pre-emptively if you can reasonably do so.

Did you hear about your OWP approval?

Yo estoy listo desde hace como un año, jaja. Mandé los docs a la embajada en méxico justo cuando comenzó la huelga y no supe nada más. Espero que lo hayan tramitado y enviado a Vegreville.

Yes guys and real fast! Hang in there people.. God news is coming our way real soon! after all, patience is a virtue!

You have an open work permit? If so, you don't need to inform CIC that you have changed jobs.

I'm the sponsor for my husband so I was worried that if they called my old place of work and my old employer said I no longer worked there that CIC would not let the sponsorship go through. :/

My Wife also came when she was under 18, we still got the police report w/ official translation etc... from her home country. It took about 2 months to obtain so safer to get it now rather than later in case they want it. She's been in Canada for 8 years, and has been in Canada longer than she's been in any other country (including her home country) haha...

Still no call today for appointment

Oh come on...you secretly LOVE this part don't you!

It's like 11:59 on Christmas Eve (for those that celebrate) and you keep looking for that fat man to show up in your fireplace, right?!?! LOL!

One trick, to reach a human, is to press 1...then 3...then 0 (with a short pause between them).

Well that worked..!! Thank you..

I spoke to an agent he changed my address. he did tell me that the current waiting time for Etobicoke is 4 months so I will hear something until May.
It would be great if it is sooner but I do not complain, if at least I can be with m family next Christmas….
