Same for me and my hubby, first they wanted more info on his travel history and then the FBI report which was all received last week so I hope this is all they want! Haven't seen him for 3 months now =( why did they want another medical tho?? Ya I agree they shouldn't make it so hard on us but we are almost at the finish line.Keep your hope up =)

In June I was asked by the visa office to pay the rprf which I did right away. Usually how long after do you hear something?

It depends on the visa office.

Hello everyone!
GOOD NEWS!!

So, I just opened my email and I have 2 new emails from the embassy. One is the "AOR" with my application number on it. It's a PDF file describing the process. Again, I think this is only the AOR or a confirmation that they are currently working on my file.

The second PDF file is called exactly the same as my file number. In that letter they are asking me for additional documents:

Original Police Certificates for Mexico
Evidence of intention to re-establish in Canada
Intent to Reside in Canada

I have a question regarding the word "re-establish"... Who is it referring to? Me or my Canadian wife? (She has been living with me in Mexico City for the last 2 years).

My next question is: When they write "Intent to reside in Canada"... again, who are they referring to?

For the "Evidence of intention to re-establish in Canada" they are asking for this: Please provide photocopies of one or more of the following documents, as applicable: job offer in Canada, property rental, agreement, employment contract, property deed, letter of acceptance by educational institution in Canada, mortgage of property, etc.

And for the "Intent to Reside in Canada" they are asking for this: Please provide a letter providing details of your plan to establish in Canada.

We have none of those. We provided a letter in our application explaining our intent to reside in Quebec, however, we didn't have any concrete proof, which is what they are asking for. To make matters worst, we have 60 days, as of today, to provide what they are asking for.

We are really worried because there's no way we could get any of the things they're asking for (which I wrote in red).

What can my wife and I do at this point?

Any help would be really appreciated !!!

Being "In Process" is a good thing. The next stage will be Decision Made. So you are getting near the end.

Both of those questions are in reference to your wife.

You need to decide how you will live/work/survive once you have reached Canada. What is your plan? Do you plan to just jump in a car on a bus or a plane and land in Canada with no where to go and no money?

If you have a solid plan, ie: We will live with her parents for x amount of time until we both have jobs and are on our feet. Then have her parents write a letter to that extent and have it notarized and attach that as proof.

This would/should also fit the second half of their questions as well. They are essentially asking you what is your plan? How do you intend to live once you are here? You can't apply for welfare, so what are you going to do? You and her need to come up with a solid plan, not necessarily rental agreements and such, but a solid plan for how you will survive once you have arrived in Canada.

That is what they are looking for.
