Mexico

[Marilu Pumapillo]

Hello... I read that your passport was not sent to Mexico to complete permanent residence, but that it was processed at the Canadian embassy of your country. As well? Do you know in which cases it is not sent to Mexico and it is processed in the country itself?

Yes, I called VAC Office and they told me that the process ended at the embassy closest to the VAC office. In my case, the closest VAC office in Lima is the Embassy of Canada in Lima, Peru. So the process will be faster. We already buy tickets.

Awesome news Mariana! So happy for you guys. I sure has been a long haul to get to this point. I have a question for you and mayber for Mitch5555 if he is still on here. Or anyone else that has received their COPR and passport and brought their spouse to Canada in the past couple of months.

Has anyone been told or applied for a travel exemption? We have been using a lawyer through this whole process. We have the passports back and the COPR and now my lawyer is saying that they are applying for a travel exemption. I have not yet asked what this is for as I wanted to ask this forum first.

My understanding with COVID is that our spouses are allowed to come to Canada once they have the COPR. Am I wrong in that?

Thanks,
Jeff

No, you don't need any other travel document. My husband had his COPR, passport plus our ARRIVECan info and Marriage Certificate but was only asked for COPR, PP, and ARRIVECan info.

His COPR arrived on Oct. 22nd just before noon and we flew out on Oct. 25th arrived in Vancouver, BC on Oct. 26th and are in quarantine until Nov 9th.

He did get detained by US Immigration for 3 hours for absolutely no reason because he has a valid US Visa for 10 years. They never asked one question just made him sit for 3 hours for nothing while they watched the baseball game and then the soccer game next. We missed our connecting flight and the one after that so had to rebook them. We are never going through the US again!!

Anyway, all will be good once we are done with quarantine and get on with our lives. Good luck to all of you still dealing with this lengthy process, it will end, honestly!!

Just wanted to ask if you had ordered notes before, and if you did who is your secondary office? I see Mexico is my primary and Havana my secondary which is strange I think. Thx

I did not order the notes. This is the strangest thing. The last update I received from Mexico in August was that my file was "in queue waiting for an officer to review it". So there wasn't much point in ordering GCMS as as far as I knew there would have been no notes.

Thanks very much, hopefully more good news for the rest of us.

I think we have the wrong officers working on our applications. Since feb nothing at all cant even update my husband's biometrics it still shows havent received. And the mp was no help, but I must say they answered me right away and did not take long to give me some information from Mexico, although it was useless to me.
