Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

So whats the use of pcc?
If an individual have "suspicious past". Thats not difficult to find, the first gravel that jumps up , might cause the red flag
But
When the person is clean. . . Should it really take , 5,6,7 etc months?
I am ok with it being a process, i accept that. I think its a process that can be improved for greater efficiency.
There is the saying
"We strain at a mole hill, but scamper over the mountain"
It is what it is, i can accept it, i just dont see why it has to be that long.
So u coming down to the hang out?????

Some foreign nationals do work for foreign governments intent on spying or disrupting. They spend much time and are good in tradecraft hiding Thier true identities. I can share a story where a whole family of Russian spies had set up shop for decades...

That said, it's easy to say 3-6 mos. We agree that is an acceptable time.

With world migration patterns, and the fact that CSIS rely heavily on international partners to help, lower priority cases (not to say that they really are..but the feds do have a driver to bring in more skilled workers) end up suffering WRT time.

I'll beg and see what the missus says

Yeah it will wildly vary depending on the office closest to you (based on postal code). Some are a day or two, some are 8 weeks. But, DM with none of the other bad stuff (negative letters, etc) means you're going to land.

Indeed, happy dance is in order.

Ok, so landing.....excuse me for not understanding landing very well, hadnt thought much past getting the approval...so, landing means my sponsor and I physically go somewhere? We are in Newfoundland, that means a flight somewhere?

I guess that is not *terrible*, but I have issues with CIC's concentration of offices. But, I suppose, if I was living in Tuktoyaktuk, I should expect to have to travel *somewhere*.

You and your sponsor will have to both be present. You will answer a couple questions (they are not intended to be a test). They will make you sign, they will sign, and hand you a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) document. They will apply for your PR card on your behalf, and welcome you to Canada.

You will need to have passport-sized photo's taken (they have to be less than a year old), so if there isn't a place nearby, you might want to arrange that too.

so the letter I will get will give me all the details I need for the appointment, correct? I assume we can ask questions regarding passport? Do I keep my original passport or do I then apply for a Canadian passport? Thank you for all your knowledge, you have been so helpful.

You cannot get a Canadian passport until you get citizenship, so you must keep your current passport.
Questions are simple, like have you committed any crime in Canada or anywhere else in the world? Do you have any dependents that are not already listed on the application? To the sponsor, do you still want to sponsor your wife?
So really, don't worry about the questions.

They didn't ask me that! I wanted to make her sweat!

Dependents, Crimes, Denied Entry anywhere are the usual ones. They already know the answers, so it's really not intended to be a test.

Also, yes no Canadian passport until you complete citizenship. So you have to keep your current to travel.

ok thank you. So as far as name changes on passport I contact USA passport department with updated info. Also, what about getting a SIN and medical card? That comes after with the PR card I assume? Thank you for the heads up on the questions that will be asked.

I thought it was pretty funny. Watching a lawn gnome speak with an impressive southern drawl was funny enough... but make it mad or watch it out-right lie was HILARIOUS for me.

BTW: When you take away (or threaten) ACA (Obamacare), you might want to consider, that 'muricans have GUNS. Look at news..

His news name should be "I don't recall". Maybe next month he will say he does not recall the testimony.

Now the 'Muricans are used to ACA if they try to take it away those who back it will all lose their seats in 2018.

The questions can change, but again, they are not intended to be a test -- they have already decided to admit you.

Check here for regulations around when you can apply (with a PR you can for absolute certainty): http://www.health.gov.nl.ca/health/mcp/index.html You can take your COPR document to that office.

SIN, you can go down to the Service Canada in St John's: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/tbsc-fsco/sc-dsp.jsp?lang=eng&rc=1137 when you are there. You can get the permanent SIN when you have your COPR in hand...

You didn't hear about the assault on the Rep. congresspeople at the baseball field an hour ago? The republican whip is in surgery after a 66-year old shooter from Illinois opened fire on the baseball field with an assault rifle. between him and capitol police there was > 100 shots fired.

 

[browning911]

It would be interesting to know what are really involved in these background checks.
Especially when you observe other applicants, through the express entry and others , seem to just fly in the diamond lane.
Seriously, what could take so long?
When the us wanted bin Laden, it did not take that long to find who he was, so really!!!! Seriously??????
Really for those who sit n worry and stress, themselves. . . Including me at times lol.
God got this one covered. . . So take it easy. Dont let background check causes you to pay the doctor after all this is over.
Yean man!!! God said "he got this"
I believe him
