Doesn't mention sending in copies so I'm sending in our actual passports to be safe, after I make copies for my own records just in case!

They must have extended my medicals because I have until Jan of 2013 to land! Whew! No way I'm taking that long, I want to work and go to school LOL

I almost didn't believe the email and thought it was spam, LOL. I was shocked!

1 question though - at the bottom there is a sheet to list our names, our height and our eye color. Do I just put me and my son on there, or put my husband on there too even though he's Canadian? My instinct tells me no but I don't want to be wrong. Thanks!! Headed out to get the pictures done so we can mail out passport ASAP :D

Also, my email said to see the document return procedure page attached...but the 4th page is blank. Useless for me to mail this out today since there will be no mail going out now until Tuesday morning so....anybody wanna help me out with the document return procedures that got their request from Detroit? Do I send in a prepaid envelope to mail it back or what? Thanks!]]> <![CDATA[This forum is dead]]> http://roadtocanada.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=7879 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:04:36 -0400 http://roadtocanada.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=7879

First being that he's been estranged from his family for a good three years. Normally this wouldn't be too big of an issue, but his step-parent lives in Canada and he's lived with said step-parent before. Without going too into detail, we know the SP moved after they cut contact, but we don't have their new address. Is there any way to make this look less fishy? Neither of us want them back into our lives, so if there was another way we could go about this, it would be great.

The second is the worst, :(. He came up to visit in August 2010 and we ended up getting married around June 2011. He's still here, and because we didn't know you could extend visas he's waaaay overstayed. Our plan right now is for him to go back to the US before we file so he can get settled/start working/square away a few things, then he can build up some cash while we wait. Would this be the best plan? I mean, I've heard of people getting banned for overstaying, if he doesn't try to enter again until he's got a PR card and I visit him instead, would that help somehow?]]>

You would think that having someones baby (with a paternity test to show proof) along with photo proof and testimonies from family members would be enough to sponser me without being married. So if theres anyone with some insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated.]]>

I've done a lot of reading on here and can't seem to find this question anywhere. Hopefully you'll be able to assist. Below are the details of the situation:

- American gf living in US
- Canadian (Ontario) bf living in Canada
- Getting married in Ontario.
- Bride will be taking the groom's last name.
- Bride will be changing SSN and US Passport (among other things) over to new name once married. In order to do so, she requires a valid marriage certificate.

Problem: In Ontario you cannot apply for your marriage certificate until 3 months after the wedding (to ensure the license has been registered).

Question: Is there a way to speed up the process of getting the marriage certificate? Ie. pay a fee, go in person, etc?

Any help is greatly appreciated!]]>

I am a Canadian citizen, born and raised here. My fiancee is from Maine, I am from New Brunswick.

Backstory: (skip this part if it's too long, important questions are at the end)
We met online and started visiting back and forth a lot back in 2008, and she decided to come and stay here for longer than the short visits we had been doing around late 2008 before passports were required to cross the Canada/US border, so she's never had one.

We talked about it and she decided she wanted to be the one to make the move live here with me(it could have been either one of us, both were willing to move). We had no idea what we were doing at the time, so we basically just lived our lives normally and together with me supporting us both.

Eventually, around 2010, we decided "Hey, it'd be cool if she could actually work here and have an income also." so we started calling places(gov numbers) and looking around on their site. In all honesty, we were very confused by the information out there and found that it contradicted itself very often and the people we spoke to on the phone basically told us it was impossible for her to become a citizen unless she's a skilled worker and went to college and such. So we became discouraged and just put the idea on the back burner.

Questions: (Important Part!)
So now again, we're looking to make this happen for two reasons:
- She would like an income and to be able to work also, it gets boring not having a job and barely any extra money
- We would like to be able to visit her family back in the US, but we're worried about crossing the border without a passport for her and possibly getting her in trouble or not allowed back into Canada for awhile

So from what little info I can find and make sense of, first we would need her to have a passport and maybe some form of US ID? Right now her State ID card is expired so it's registered as invalid now.

So, we're wondering:

Is there anyway for her to get a passport from within Canada?
Can she complete all of her needed papers to legally work and live here from within Canada?
Is she able to obtain a Canadian Drivers License before becoming a citizen? It would mean she would have a good picture ID here and of course could drive. lol She's never had a US license before either.

I'm just wondering if I could get some advice or really where to start with this whole process. I am an American and my fiancee is Canadian. I moved to Canada to be with him in 2008. Every 6 months I go home for about 2 months to see my family. Our wedding date is set for June 30, 2012. We are getting married in Canada.

I am not really sure where to start with the process of getting PR. I already have the application and it says I need pictures, medical exam, and police checks. Also, I am hearing alot about applying inland or outland, what are the pro's and con's of each?

Also, when I was 18 years old I was arrested for conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor. Basically I knew someone was stealing money at my job and because I was there and said nothing I was at fault too. How is this going to effect my PR? It has been over 12 years now since it happened. It was the worst decision I have ever made and have been paying for it ever since.

Which is the quickest way to get medical coverage? I have heard some people talk about private insurance until they can get OHIP but will it cover pre existing medical conditions? I have diabetes and sometimes I do not have my insulin (which is not good) because I have to go back to the states to get it. I need the quickest way to get medical possible or information for a private insurer...I do not mind paying for medical but it seems I can't find an insurer who takes clients with pre existing conditions. This is my main concern.

I went to the CIC and they said PR processing time is 38 days, is that from start to finish? I hear the process takes alot longer than that. If anyone could help me with advice it would be greatly appreciated. This whole process is so confusing!!! Thanks for taking the time to read! Yippee

I applied for PR status for my wife last July. I received a confirmation about 4 months later that my file had been received - and then since then, I heard nothing at all.

Today, my wife just received a letter from the Immigration Regional Program Center in Buffalo. The letter ( which is dated April 27th ) says that she was sent an email on February 8th asking for:

1) RCMP Certificate for your sponsor.
2) Proof of medical examinations being taken for yourself and children.

I looked and can't find the original ( Feb.8th ) email in my wife's account - so I'm assuming it went to her Spam folder, and was deleted after a week or two.

I'm unsure as to what they're asking for, as I know I sent in all the Proof of Medical examinations ( I packed the original application myself, and without a doubt the exams for her and her two non-accompanying kids were in there ) - and, I have no recollection of a requirement for an RCMP certificate for me. I know we got the FBI report done on her - but that was it.

So know I'm unsure what to do. The letter says all the info needs to be sent to be sent to the immigration officer who sent the Apr.27th letter my wife received today - within 60 days. I'm wondering if there was any other pertinent info in the original email from this officer - and whether I should first email him or her and at least ask for the email to be resent. And then should I ask if there were no copies of the original medical exams - or whether they have now expired. I recall when I was reading everything I could to learn how to properly apply - that there was a time limit on the medical exams ( 9 months or 12 months ? ), but that because the processing of these PR applications was going so slow, they almost never asked for the exams to be redone. The exams were done in late May of last year - and so would have been less than 9 months old at the time of the original Feb.8th email, and would now be coming up on the year point. Finally, why do they ask for an RCMP certificate ? I've never been arrested - but is the fact they have asked for that some indication of a problem with the application.

I'm more worried about the medical examinations, as the cost to get those done ( both the actual costs, and the travel costs to have her kids come to Canada ) were the single most expensive cost of the whole application procedure.

If anyone else has experienced anything similar, or has any advice at all - it would be very appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating !

Thanks,

We had planned to have our wedding abroad (not in US or Canada) for family fairness. Does this idea seem like a bad one now?
Also, how am I supposed to move all my stuff over the border without it being suspicious? Unless I use the "im going here for school for two years, so i wanted to move my stuff with me" excuse? which is mostly the truth anyway.

The love of my life is in Canada. and I am afraid of this whole process. We have been together for over a year, but We have known each other for 6 years. We have been best friends for the entire time, and we even mutually loved each other for about 5 of those years. I was hesitant to be in a relationship with him because of the distance. I have visited him several times in the past two years and he has also visited me.
I hope this site will be as helpful to me as I have heard it has been for others.
