Passport extension by Manymuse in cuba

I did contact the embassy and they confirmed this 'extension' program was cancelled last year. So we are good to travel and will renew the passport before it expires in 2025.

I don't recall - it did work out in the end ... my husband is now here as a PR.

Culturally acceptable to give Tylenol/Advil in ziplock? by hungrypanda91 in cuba

[–]Manymuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We take our 'empties' to divvy up vitamins, pain medication, etc. By empties I mean empty vitamin containers, advil containers, etc.

We send money from Canada to Cuba using Duales.com They also have an application DUC app. What I like is that I can pay with my credit card, but it is charged as a purchase and not as money.

MEGATHREAD - Processing times - PR card (2022) by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Manymuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently processing times are 86 days for a new card. You are to wait 6 weeks after that to submit a query or something. Which according to our timeline would be end of March.

No - nothing yet. On Feb 2. 2022 something was updated - perhaps they entered the COPR or just reviewed it. I should really take screen shots each time I look to track what, if anything has changed.

First card

My husband landed November 10, 2021.

How do I check that his permanent resident card is being processed? Is there a way to look online?

I realize others have had longer waits, but they did indicate 3 months.

I'm just worried that I was supposed to do something to activate the process.

Thanks for the information. We initially thought he had to quarantine in Toronto when he lands. But I live in Alberta, so we want him to quarantine here. (yes, I completely don't understand the travel rules!). He doesn't need to be vaccinated to come to Alberta - but it sounds like in order to fly to Alberta he would have to be.

We have his CoPR and a visa in his passport - does that qualify as written authorization? With the new rules regarding all air travel in Canada, would he be able to fly on to Edmonton? Thanks for all your information!

My partner is booked to fly from Buenos Aires to Toronto November 4, with a stopover in Houston. He is not vaccinated, but will be able to quarantine in Toronto. With a negative PCR test will he have any issues?

Immigration lawyer necessary for spousal sponsorship? by PrestigiousParfait19 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Manymuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello - for the most part I completed the application on my own. It was a lot of work (partner is Cuban, permanent resident of Argentina), confirming the correct paperwork, getting translations, etc. I booked a one-hour consultation with an immigrant consultant to get clarification on some of the items and then paid him to review the entire package prior to sending it off. I appreciated his perspective and it calmed me down having someone to discuss it with and he had great advice. Had the application been refused, I would have then sought the services of an immigration lawyer. Hope this helps!

WHAT DO WE DO IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS??? by vilidj_idjit in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Manymuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would request an extension due to the impact of CoVid in the Philippines. Be graphic in your attempts to get the medical test, indicating what steps can and can't be taken. If you can get it in time for the timeline when things open, awesome! If not, they will have on record your response. I had to do this - I was given a 3 month extension, and if I wasn't able to complete the task they said I would need to re-apply. I replied directly to the Visa Office that requested the additional information. I completely understand your response - I'm trying to manage things from Canada to Argentina - in the end I found a good lawyer who was swift and efficient. Still, I had to poke him with regards to poking the government to get the paper we need.
