Good day everyone

Have a question re applying outland while in Canada. I am getting married soon to a Vincentian who at present is on visiting permit. He is applying for extension in Nov (due to leave Jan 9,2013). On one of the forms he needs to fill out it asks if you have lived together. Should he answer yes as he is visiting me (living with me) but still has his place in St. Vincent and send a note to explain he was living with me while he was visiting me.

have you tried life insurance through your bank, I think BMO has some life insurances where you can add the beneficiary it doesnt matter which country.
because my common-law got some accidental death insurance through bmo and they let him add me, and all they asked for was my name, and birthdate im pretty sure.
try at your bank? they might have some options that would work.
:)

Thanks LeisaP! I will look into that :) I wonder if I can get the same type of insurance through BMO even though they are not my bank. Thanks

That is a good point. Our immigration consultant advised us to write "present" in that situation, to avoid the VO questioning whether or not you're still employed there.

Our immigration consultant told us that any time post-marriage can be documented as living together. Just be sure to explain it somewhere, like in your cover letter or relationship history, so they don't get confused.
 
Wow . You Guys are going to laugh at the response from my lawyer .
He said my husband need another pc because they need to check if any criminal
Activity was done during the wait . I don't buy that .
If that was the case this lawyer should have let us know before
and could have another pc available it required.

So now this will take another 8 weeks !

Wow...that makes absolutely no sense! Were that the case, then it would be standard procedure that everyone submits a new PC upon receiving PPR. The only thing I can think of is if you were selected for some random quality check or something.

Is there no way you can get around this? Would they accept a state PC, since those only take a week or so? We went along with our new PC request because it only takes a day to get in Dominica, but an 8-10 week FBI clearance is a whole other matter!
 
He lives in the US so they need a Us pc but that is ridiculous.
I'm going to talk to POS myself .
 
Guys this is what we got per mysticsher

Please look at the passport section, says scannable passport needed, I have a Guyana passport withou scans that expires next 2years. What should I do about this, is it just a computer default that I should just ignore?

Pos wants these within 60 days but if I try to get a new passport it will take 2 months, no time to mail over to pos

Citizens of Guyana - only machine readable Guyanese passports will be accepted

I'm no expert on Guayanese passports, but the fact that they've singled them out makes me think it has to be machine-readable. If they had just made a blanket statement for all countries, then there might be some leeway, but it's specific to one country, so I'd get confirmation from them before sending in yours.

I'm still puzzled about the FBI request, they really need to explain that to you. Not to mention, they should know it takes at least 7 weeks, so how would they expect you to get this to them in 60 days? I also noted they asked for new medicals - aren't yours valid until Oct??

I would seriously try to get someone from the VO to answer some questions for you. Phone, email, try until you make contact.

No, you shouldn't ignore it. Guyana has changed their passport to the one with bar code and machine readable. A friend of mine's husband had to fly back Guyana to make that new passport in order to get the papers finalize. I know he was in Guyana for a short period to redo it and i am pretty sure it did not take 2 months to complete.
 
That was the procedure between 2007- 2009
In 2010 , you don't have to fly to Guyana to get the new guyana passport.
You can get it from the guyana consulate in your country of residence .
According to the Canadian high commission website your old Guyana passport is valid until it expires .
