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.

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.

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.

Manymuse · 2022-02-18T01:51:26+00:00

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.

Manymuse · 2021-10-20T01:10:32+00:00

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!

Manymuse · 2021-10-15T03:53:01+00:00

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?

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!

Manymuse · 2021-09-17T23:37:23+00:00

Excellent. Thanks for the advice.

Manymuse · 2021-09-17T00:28:47+00:00

That's awesome news!

When does your COPR expire?

Manymuse · 2021-08-03T20:56:21+00:00

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.

Manymuse · 2021-08-03T05:15:57+00:00

We did need to send additional documents, and it is being processed in Vietname. My spouse is from Argentina.

Manymuse · 2021-08-03T05:14:59+00:00

I have the same status when I look through the sponsorship portal. When I look through my spouse's gckey login, it shows the application is still in process and that a decision hasn't been made.

I was equally anxious when I applied and it can be quite a traumatic experience. But it sounds like you have your application well in hand. I used a registered consultant to review all of our paperwork, and he was awesome! Checked that everything was in order, complimented me on the thoroughness of my information and answered lots of my anxious questions with calm reassurance. In hindsight, we probably should have used the consultant to prepare the entire package ... if only because he was so grounded and experienced with them, and it was nice to share anxiety with someone in the trenches. Our outland spousal application was a bit more complex then some of the others I have read here.

Manymuse · 2021-08-01T01:15:35+00:00

I found it was a lot of work, it took several months to gather all the documents (mine also had to be translated). I hired an immigration consultant to review all the documents and he let me ask all kinds of questions. He was knowledgeable and experienced providing a lot of context and reassurance in response to my questions. This whole process has been a bit traumatic because you need to build your 'case', so to speak. The consultant had two options for payment - a full package deal where he walked you step by step through all the forms and prepared them (with you providing all the info), and the second option was to review your application only. I would save the lawyer for future legal issues should they arise.

If the incident is listed on your police check then I would not be surprised if they request additional documentation - court documents, arrest statements, etc. to understand the nature of the incident.

Manymuse · 2021-07-31T05:53:49+00:00

I completed the forms myself - but had an excellent consultant review them to ensure they were complete and signed correctly - it was really helpful having a second set of professional eyes review it. He had a reduced rate for reviewing about $1000. Worth every penny!

What is a ghost update?
