Mexico

NAFTA - I posted our story several months ago (page/tab 20). The short of it, the embassy sent us a package in March 2010, we never received it (didn't ever know about it until Jan 2011), everyone told us to just wait (CIC and MP), then in January my MP agreed to enquire, and finally the embassy called my husband and resent the package.

It's overly complicate and painful. I really hope it doesn't happen to anyone else but i am sure it does.

That's why I say, SPREAD THE WORD. if you know anyone who is sponsing or being sponsered tell them about the forum. This forum is very important, if I would have known about this forum last year my husband would have been here for almost 10 months by now.

Thanks everyone for the congratz, I am 80% happy now, i will be 90% exstatic when he get the PR monday, and 1000% over the moon when he steps through those airport doors.

This is tricky, but I think there is very little flexibility in the process. If CIC asked specifically for an informe, I would get it. I know that the results of the police check are the same whether it is an informe or a constancia, but it would be unfortunate if you tried to supply the constancia and they still asked for the informe.

Also, to get the constancia you will have to go to the Mexican Consulate in Canada to get a letter to request the constancia at the PGR and send it to your mom.

I can appreciate that you have already waited so long and just want to process to finish as soon as possible, you probably would like to be able to leave Canada to visit your family.

I wonder if there are others out there who applied inland, I wonder what they did?

We applied outland, but my partner has been in Canada since 2009, we had gathered all of the prints and photos in January expecting to get a request for an informe, but were asked for a constancia instead, which I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, yet. For me there is some stress related to getting the constancia that might have been eliminated with a request for an informed. His Dad is getting the constancia for us, but of course I am worried that the photos won't be right or the fingerprints aren't good enough.

Thank you La_Ardilla for all your helpfull information. I will go to the mexican consulate monday morning monday. And yeah would be nice if other people who have done this process share this experience with us.
Cheers!!!

About the pictures, if you are not sure about the size and other details, this information i found in the mexican consulate may help:


a) Tamaño filiación o tamaño pasaporte mexicano (4.5 cm. de largo x 3.5 cm. de ancho).
Size filiacion or size mexican passport (4.5 long and 3.5 wide)

b) Tomadas lo más cerca posible de la cara.
Take the pics the closest posible to the face

c) Sin maquillaje, sin aretes, sin lentes, sin barba, sin bigote, sin patillas, ni cabello sobre la cara, es decir, con el rostro descubierto.
No Makeup, no earrings, no glasses, no mustache, no hair on the face, in other word with the face uncovered.

Since you are inland you really need to consider that they will be looking for the informe. Remember, they said in your letter you will need to send fingerprints to the embassy in your home country. See what robrod said, it looks like he got an informe and was an inland applicant. Jendrian also mentioned that the constancia only has 15 days until it expires, it may not give you enough time. This is worth thinking about. Remember my experience is applying outland.

Thanks for +, it's my first!

Yeah i think they will be looking for an informe, but it will take longer. I read takes about 3-5 months, so i want to try to the get the Constancia to speed things up, but i'm a little concer it would be rejected.

As you mentioned, i want to finish the process so we can go and visit my parents. He haven't meet them in person yet, and i miss them so much. We started thje application in april 2009. It's been a long time...

By the way the letter requesting this updates and police clearance gives me only 30 days to submit everything. It also says if i need more time time i should write a letter to CIC explaining why and how long.

What do you think should i give it a try (the constancia instead of the informe) or should i just apply for the informe and wait?

I just got a letter saying that my application was refuse and If I needed more information just to call CIC call centre. I gave them a call and asked them about my situation and what was the next step? They only said I was out of status and I should leave the country, I asked If I needed to inform someone about my departure at the airport and he said no because I didn't have a departure order. So I just flew back to my country I think they will send a letter asking me to leave very soon and my husband will have to show them my ticket and maybe I will send a copy of my passport with the stamp when I entried Mexico city. They said I will have no problem and I don´t need ARC to return because I left on time. I hope this is true =) BTW after I called CIC I bought my airplane ticket for the next day.

I'm so sorry about your application. :'(

Are you going to apply outland? If so you should request your FOSS to see why it was denied and when you do your outland you can address the matter that caused the rejection of your app.

Good luck!!!

Yes I´m going to apply outland. Unfortunately We used an immigration consultant and he sent our application with wrong information, he wasn't helpful but we knew it when it was too late. We had our FOSS notes and we can proove every single thing and I believe this time I will get it for sure. I was sad when I read the refused letter but now I'm happy because I'm with my family after 5 years of not seeing them and my husband is coming to Mexico to stay with me the whole process =)

with more calls and ;letters to somebody in Mexico city be able to found that document,,,they changue address in mexico for our category of visas but we check very well where exactly we supose to drop off the paper and she did it...with his number on top at the envelope and his name complete..oh my god.oh my god..oh my god...I just feel like cryng...I am desperate to see my 2 kids but in special my little girl who is the priority here.not my son who is no coming to live here,but just because the rules are the rules and we folow and did everyone,when everything looks more shinny like sunny,,bomm another grey cloud over my head and some kind a pain in my heart..being separated of my little girl for almost 2 years is something,I can not afford emocionally anymore..if nothing happen and if they want to make me do it again everything I will come back to my home beside the beach take my little girl in my arms and forget about this inland aplication.apply outland or just stay like before coming back and forth to see each other and live in 2 countries but i can not sacrifice anymore the life of my little girl,,nobody teach me how live without her when she born,my husband support any decision and stay strong together..let's see what happen
hope just the right..this people at the embassy in Mexico find the letter,report to vegreville and then end of the history.
Well folks that is a nightmare for me tonight and I am sure every word,experience we share help to anothers to understand this process and try avoid mistakes in the future..hope Jason Kenney in the new laws they considered our dependent children living abroard have priority and faster process at least focus in our minor acompanyng dependent and not in our adults kids no dependents plus are not in the aplication to live in Canada/well thank you.in advanze for the time who is reading this...good luck to everybody and to me as well off course..lol

To @bobswife:
I´m sorry to hear about your problem, but where did you drop the paper cause I believe they recently change of address, they might just misplace it, I´m asking since I´m also confused of their address they changed it in some places but no real info or even accurate.


Good Luck

MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA 193
COL. GRANADA
11520 MEXICO, D.F
Fax: 5724 - 7983

Hope this clears things up for you

I'm so sorry to hear that.

That's really a nightmare!!!

I hope they find the letter. It's not fare after all the time you have been waiting.

Is anything you can do? Like calling the mexican Consul of the city you are living, maybe they can put some presure on the staff at Canadian Embassy at Mexico City.

That's really too bad.

I'm going to that process to. My mom will be getting my Constancia next week. I'm scared now. I'm going to tell my mom to make a copy o it before she dropp it at the embassy and i'm going to tell her to ask for an acknowklegde of receipt of the Constancia at the Canadian Embassy.
