Can anyone clear up the thing on Buffalo vs. Mississauga? I thought the website said to send "spouse-only" permanent resident applications to Mississauga if you were outside Canada? What's Buffalo process?

I wasn't going to check E-cas until the 14th!! If I'd waited...Chris would have probably got the letter before we even know they'd made a decision haha
tmason - I hope someone can answer your question for you. |

Mississauga CPC is where you send your application initially. They assess the sponsor's eligibility to sponsor the applicant. Once they determine that the sponsor is able, they approve it (which is considered "approval in principle (AIP)) and then the application is sent to Buffalo to determine PR for the actual applicant. I hope that makes sense! |

Hello Fellow Members of the Class of February 2011. So nice to have company in my misery.
Q: We are heading up to Canada in May for a visit and wonder if there would be any reason they would refuse us entry? We are only staying 2 weeks and all have to get back to work. It would seriously suck to pay airfare just to be rejected at the border. Edited by GetUsHome - 09 Mar 2011 at 10:50am |

Firstly - welcome to the February 2011 Class!
I would say that as you're going for 2 weeks and you have work to return to, that it shouldn't be a problem. Obviously I don't know that for certain, but with the evidence of a job to go back to as well as the return flight - they don't have a lot to turn you around for. I won't be attempting to go back while it's being processed as I had problems with my last visit. I was going back for 6 months and got called into the immigration room at the airport (YVR) for further questioning and they commented that I'd spent a lot of time in Canada over the past few years (duh). I showed them my return flight and also that I had enough savings to support myself for the 6 months. He was a very nice immigration officer and after telling me he believed me to be genuine etc he stamped my passport. He did say that I might not have been so lucky if I'd had a different officer!! I was getting married during that 6 months, so would have been devastated had they turned me around!!! All worked out in the end though. I know I wasn't much help! |

We just came back from our honeymoon on Saturday night and flew into Pearson (Toronto). The IO commented at the time that he saw I had been in Canada a lot in the past few years, and that I'd had a few "run-ins" with Immigration. BUT, he said that he could see from my record that we were trying to do things "by the book". He gave me a stamp, and wished me well with my application's processing.
I guess the point of my story here, is that as long as you are trying to do things the correct way (and with a job to return home to, a return ticket and a solid timeline of when you'll be leaving), that there's no reason that they should deny you entry. There's never any guarantees, but I would say that you're pretty safe. Good luck, and do let us know how everything goes! |

Hi all! Happy to join this thread. This message board was amazingly helpful in my ordeal of putting together a sponsorship app for my Irish common-law partner. We went to an immigration lawyer for advice but I did the app myself thanks to everyone here. Best of luck to you!
My partner's living with me in Vancouver on a 1 year working holiday visa that started Sept 18. I lived with him in Dublin for 7 months before that. We sent in the app a few weeks after we got official common-law status. We're applying Outland via London and hoping he gets PR by Sept. Here's our timeline: 26.8.2010 - Medical done in Dublin 12.1.2011 - Police certificate of character issued 21.2.2011 - App sent by courier 22.2.2011 - Received Mississauga |
