Are you applying outland? Is hubby there? Did you marry in Kingston?canjamdiva said:
they have always corresponded with me via email. its been over a year since I looked through the forms but if I remember correctly I think there is somewhere on the form that says to list your email and it says that correspondence will go there.. For my husband we didn't list a email but the only correspondence he received was the Passpory Request, this I didn't receive a copy of which I thought I would have because I did fill out the notice of representation form ...I'm sure with a lot of great tips from people you will do just fine on your own ... And whatever you do don't allow people to make you feel discouraged by telling you that your summiting to much evidence to document your relationship because there is no right amount to summit and no wrong amount .. I know I have heard of several people getting requests for more info and even getting interviewed when they are not specific and leave a lot of questions that the VO may have unanswered ... you will not get a application returned to you for including to much ..if you use whatsapp it's great because you can actually email the conversation to yourself and print it all out .. I included our whole chat history personally I felt and was also told by my family friend/lawyer that actually excluding pages could raise suspicion .. I didn't sugar coat anything even the disagreements we had were printed and sent in because in all reality the majority of married couples do argue from time to time and with this immigration process and the stress we have they would expect it would cause tension at times .. I organized my application the same way as the application was organized in the link I posted and it seemed to have some good for me because our application was processed fairly quickly . When the apocation is organized it saves the VO a lot of time because they don't have to be going through hundreds of papers to find every document they need ...HisWifey30 said:wow Paula, That was acutually VERYYY helpful thank you so much for that link it definitely gives me a start. i'm just takin in everyones information and reading the cic website and about to get really started on monday with everything. gonna print out all these things at work where it's free. but yeah i believe i'm just going to do it myself without representation because everywhere i call it's thousands of dollars and i got bill to ain't nobody have that type of money chilling in the bank. well if you do kudos but i certainly dont lol
i have another question tho as i will many many more im sure lol. um i was just wondering how does CIC normally corresponds with you is it by mail, phone, e-mail? because i live with family at the moment (Sisters) and when the mail comes in the morning i'm at work, and im not really ready to have them in my business yet so id rather if they corresdond with my by phone or e-mail..... so yeah how does CIC normally get in contact with you throughout all the stages of this process?
yes I would recommend you do them at the same time your application gets sent to Mississauga. When they are not done and included in your application at the same time you risk that the medical and PC don't get put with your file as soon as you send it in and it can in fact add delays to your process .. I did mine upfront and the medical was set to expire aprox 2 weeks before we received PPR and when I emailed to ask if he should redo the medical they gave me a year extension on the medical , making it valid for 2 years . Also my husbands Police check was expired aprox 2 weeks before they issued his PPR and he didn't have to redo his . I was told he couldn't land if his PC wasn't valid but this isn't true . The medical must be valid but the majority of the time as long as it is summited up front they will give you a extension .. My husband got his passport back this week from DHL and he has to leave Jamaica before the medical expires which isn't until August 2016..HisWifey30 said:

I know this response is late but if the sponsor (in canada) had a criminal record they can still sponsor as long as it is not a charge that Carries a sentence of 10 or more years in prison , any sexual offence, or a offence of violence towards a family member ... Now if the person you are trying to sponsor has a criminal record even if it is just a minor charge such as smoking marijuana then I believe yes they can be denied entry into canada . Even a simple DUI or impaired driving charge can make you inadmissible ... With this being said if a certain amount of time has passed , I believe 5 years then you could be deemed rehabilitated and be allowed to enter .. Now this isn't in every case as my husbands friend just got his approved and he had a possession of marijuana charge (2 grams) but they did have to hire a lawyer because initially it was refused and they appealed it and won at a appeal .. Had they have gotten a lawyer at first maybe they would have been ok because it could have been explained in more detail ... I would sugguest anyone who is trying to get PR status in Canada with a criminal record should get the advice from a lawyer.... with all of the laws changing around marijuana and it even being legalized in many places around the world it's definitely something that can be argued with the right legal representation ... Something like this doesn't really make your application standard so in this case I would say speak to a lawyer and Have them help , it's gonna cost money but may save time and stress ...

Well that is partially true, but not entirely correct. You have to apply for "rehabilitation", not just wait it out for 5 years, and there are certain stipulations to the above information. A DUI is not considered a "simple" charge in Canada and can make you inadmissible for life. Offences are categorized by summary and indictable offences. While you MAY be admissible after doing a serious crime, its very hard. Usually if you have been convicted of a crime that incurs jail time of 12+ months you will not be admissible without being deemed "rehabilitated". You have to apply to CIC for that, not just explain it on your application form. See more here:Paula_T said:
