Mexico

[xedelatorre]

Hello,

Does anybody know what is the actual size for the "passport size" photographs requested for the Informe de Datos Registrales per instructions below:

Is it passport size of Canada, Mexico? If someone know the dimensions please help.
Also, I assume the photos must be in color, correct?

2) Three photographs of the front, and three of the right profile: passport size (With no makeup, earrings, glasses, beard, moustache, sideburns—no exceptions)

make sure they pick it up before 12. they don't give or receive anything after that time. so just make sure its before 12 and you will be fine

Thanks!

Yo me imagino que estas en mexico. Ve a tomartelas con cualkier fotografo, ellos sabes como van... solo recuerda no las puedes hacer tu por que te las regresan ya que necesitan estar impresas en un papel especial mate. Lo se por que a una chava que hizo el tramite conmigo se las regresaron. Si, tienen que ser a color

hi to everyone

Im being sponsored for my wife.
Im a bit worried here and i would like to know what is your opinión guys in my case.
Im in the part of the process where i was asked to submit PGR, RCMP, Schedule A, payment of permanent residence rigths, CSQ and the IRB decisión (they didnt ask for more relationships evidence).

Everything went fine but Im worried about the IRB decisión, when I made my refugee claim I did something stupid, I said that I was bisexual and that I was in a group to defend gay, lesbians,bisexuals and diversity rigths and thats why i was being threatened, I wasnt approved as a refugee.
So now im kind of worried because I got married with my girlfriend wich i really love, and maybe they can think wrong and ask me for an interview or deny my App.
in the application there is a part: MEMBERSHIP AND ASSOCIATION WITH ORGANIZATIONS. There I didnt put anything at first whn i started my app so now in the Schedule A there is the same part and I would like to know whats your opinión guys, if should put that i was part of the organisation and the name of it or just leave it blank as i did when i started my application?

If you are in Mexico, you want "tamaño filiación," which is 4.5 x 3.5 cm. They are close up photos with very specific requirements so it's worth going to a photographer that knows what these are.

If you are abroad, use something that is at least 4.5 x 3.5 cm (Canadian passport size works). It's best to ask the photographer to zoom in on your face so that it consumes almost the entire frame. In addition to the requirements you list, take a look at the requirements at http://www.pgr.gob.mx/Servicios/Constancia/antecedentes%20registrales.asp, such as white background, no makeup, no glasses, no earrings, no piercing decorations, no beard/mustache. Make sure that there isn't any hair on your face, forehead or ears (gel/water is your friend; your hair must be visible).

I would be prepared for an interview if I were you. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. You just have be prepared with a reasonable explanation. You will have a chance to explain yourself.

As for the schedule A, consistency is the key. Truth is important. Stick to the truth. Were you found credible by the RPD?

You have to be careful to be consistent. I imagine you still have an ARC to go through after your relationship is found to be genuine.

yes i have to do ARC. and in the IRB decisión says the tribunal gives me the benefit of doubt. when they asked for more documents they didnt ask for more relationship evidence what leads me to belive that they know that my relationship is real, but im preparing more relationship evidence like skype records and stuff in case they ask me for an interview. also im ready to answer any question they ask about my wife and to explain why i did say those things in the refugee claim.

That sounds positive to me. It's good the RPD gave you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think your case is as bad as it would've been if they didn't believe you. Then, I think you would've had problems.

I think if you talked about belonging to an organization at the IRB, it would be advisable to include it on the schedule A.

The cic website has updated the expected time of sponsorship applications for each visa office and the one for Mexico City has increased from 14 to 16 months. But looking at some peoples expereriences here recently I thought maybe things were going faster. I guess not overall.

My wife and stepson became permanent residents in Vancouver on March 17. Thanks to all who have answered my questions here and also to Campbell Cohen who helped us greatly with our paperwork. I highly recommend their services. ;D

As far as I know there aren't minimum income requirements for spousal applications but as a sponsor you are agreeing to be financially responsible for him for a minimum undertaking of three years so it's going to look bad if you've been collecting welfare. You cannot collect welfare at any time during that undertaking, you would have to pay all of it back. But... Because there aren't minimum income requirements for spousal PR technically as long as you aren't collecting when you apply it shouldn't affect your application. You'll need proof that you've stopped collecting though because you have to provide your option c printout for the last tax year which will show that you were collecting until December at least.

I'm interested to know whether or not his deportation will affect your application. I was under the impression that if you've been deported you can't re enter canada for 10 years. However I don't know anyone that it's happened to so I don't know exactly what the rules are or if there are exceptions nor do I know the specifics regarding his deportation.

My email is agarand8@hotmail.com, I'll do whatever I can to help you. I've done a lot of research but haven't even sent my application in yet (next week though!). So far I'm an expert at gathering documents. Lol

Hello there, I havent been on this forum for about 6 months when my husband landed. I shared my story on here, but just to inform you that being deported doesnt mean you cannot enter canada within 10 years. Yes there are exclusion bans which are typically from a year to however long the CBSA states on your papers. My husband was deported june 2012 and landed october 2013.
