She can apply for a visitor extension once inside Canada, apps to CPC-Vegreville. No guarantees getting approved but worth the try.

my girlfriend applied for her live in caregiver visa about a month ago.
she will be in canada for 6 months come May. can she stay in canada while waiting for her visa even though her visitor visa is only 6 months? If not is there any way for her to stay in Canada longer than the 6 months? i read today that she has to go back to the States after the six months and can not come back for another 6 months. if this is true is it valid if she receives the visa while in the states?

hi madeira.... they won't send you anything... if you apply for an extension of your work permit with the same employer..processing will take 60-75 days upon the receipt of your application... and you should send your papers at unit 202
they give priority with those applying a new work permit under new employer which is 30-45 days processing....documents should be mailed to unit 555
both units are with the same address and building... you said you are applying for an extension of your work permit with the same employer...you should sent them at unit 202...but if you mistakenly sent them to unit 555... they will still process it but will take a longer time... just like what happened to me...
God bless...

You have a great weekend yourself, Madeira. Good for you! Yeah, they accepted my police certificate just fine. It was as normal as it could be and it took less time. I remember getting anxious over that one matter 8 months ago. I freaked out because i had no clue they would take so long to give me one, so then I went on a shorter route, more expensive -true- but it got me what I needed :-). You take good care! You've got good supporters here, so don't worry!

Thanks Carmenuta.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now, getting the paperwork ready for Police Certificates. Just debating about Russian one. When I applied back in the UK, I got my parents to ge me one back home. CIC tells you to get it from the ebmassy if you are abroad, but you are right, it might take up to 2-3 months. From what I know, lots of people used certificates issued back home and got them translated. It worked just fine. Have a good weekend. Edited by Madeira - 29 Jan 2010 at 12:47pm |

Oh, I'm not sure how it all works in your country, in Russia, but what you can do is get your parents, mom or dad, to get the police record for you. You can send your mom the right of attorney (which is what i did). She should send you some identification card so you can get the right of attorney done here, in BC and then you send that to your mom or dad or whomever you want to give your right of attorney to, and it will take you less than a month. It took me about 2 weeks. If you go through the Embassy or Consulate here in Canada, it will take you at least 3 months. It's your call. All this info is available on CIC website as well.

You're right... other people's experiences are very important, but not their "opinions". I remember not sending a piece of paper where I was supposed to just mention that I didn't have any dependents (thinking I didn't need to) and CIC called for that paper even if it wasn't necessary. CIC wanted that from me. How much more important are your pay stubs than that blank piece of paper, basically. What i'm saying is you should INFORM yourself before you can rely on what us, people, here will tell you.
I asked where you were from, because you will need a police record from your country and you will have to start that as soon as possible, like now :-), and that police record will also have to be translated along with your other papers which are in Russian. If you need a place for cheap authorized translations, go to MOSAIC, on Commercial in Vancouver. It's maybe 15 minutes away from Commercial Skytrain Station. I'm from Romania, and live in BC, right now. |

Hi Carmenuta,
thanks. I will call CIC at some point. I did call them while getting ready for WP extension. Other people's experience is important too. It can help you avoid some mistakes. Well... I've got a month and I can apply for PR in Macrh. It'll probably be the end of March. Getting those Police Cerificates is a pain! I need one from Russia and one from UK. A lot of people complain about it. You get all those things before you come to Canada and now you've got to do it again. I am Russian and now I'm in BC. What about you? |

Those ARE your pay stubs. You get a paid a pay stub every month, so that's what you sent. They are exactly what my employer gave to me. Madeira, you'd be better off asking CIC about it. They won't give you a hard time but you want to make sure. People's "opinions" are not reliable. So, do the SURE thing and inform yourself straight from the source. We can tell you this and that, our opinion but it's better to have everything covered. Most people's applications are rejected because the people are not informed properly.
Don't worry, all will be fine... you've got tones of time! By the way, where are you from? |
