Thank you good ideas! the RCMP will only mail me a copy of their form and they will not courier anything. So I have to wait to receive it from Ottawa and then I have to courier it to my husband in Mexico and have him courier it back to me so I can send it to Ottawa. I called the RCMP also to confirm about the 120 days and they said it would take at least this long.

Good idea about the FBI doc I will call them back to see if they will except it. And edgarsitow if you see this please let me know if you brought the form with you or how you went about doing this. I will PM you!
I replied to your PM, check your inbox :)

Hey!. maybe someone here can help me with this.

I am in mexico as a tourist and i want to go to a language school to make my spanish better.
im wondering, can i take a spanish course on a tourist visa.
or do i need to get a student visa??

i know in canada you can take part time courses or anything 6 weeks or less, without having to get a student visa. but im not sure really how it works here in mexico ...

also. if i cant take a course as a tourist, is there anyway i can change my tourist visa to a student visa from inside mexico.. if so.. how?

thanks!! :)

I´m pretty sure you can take spanish courses with a tourist visa...

There is a way to change your tourist visa to a student visa from within mexico...it takes about a month though...You would have to go to the Instituto Nacional de Migracion and ask them about what papers they need (I think what you need is a letter from the school, proof of funds, proof of address, and fill out a form on the website.) I think there is a fee too, because you are changing it from within mexico.


but I am pretty sure you won´t need to do that. :p

:eek: I'm sure you were doing it right. You just need to put his info the Enquirer Identification field so it shows it's the applicant making the request. I didn't know the Sponsor couldn't make requests on the application?? Good to know!

You;re using this link right?

I don't think there is an option to print and sign.. you just submit.

yeah me neither..
i am sponsoring him, i should be able to get the information too. that would only make sense.
plus now i sent another one with his info in the enquirer.. and how do they know its him. hes my husband obviously im going to know his name and email address anyways. just doesnt make any sense. and of couse another waste of time on our end. :(

and yes im using that link. they said i need to print sign and scan a "use of representative" form. if i want information and im not the applicant.
its that form that goes with the application if your using a lawyer or something..

really ridiculous!!. anyways i sent another one. so here we go again another 2 weeks waiting for a reply :(
