Q. I recently landed, and married shortly thereafter. I now wish to sponsor my spouse. I was told by immigration officials that I do not have enough income to show. What does this mean?

Q. After submitting my application to the Buffalo IAPC three months ago, I have not received any notice from them. Is this normal?

Q. I’m hoping someone will be able to answer this question for me. I’ve been dating my girlfriend for the past 2 1/2 years, and we’ve been living together in the US for the last 9 months while I’ve been down here on contract. However, I’m going to be returning to Canada in the very near future, and it suddenly occurred to me that the fact that we’ve been living together might affect her status in the eyes of Canada Immigration… then again, it might not. :-)

Q. Is it true if you have a Irish passport or a European country in “common market” that you don’t need an employment authorization?

Q. I received my qualification assessment result from CCPE yesterday. The results is different from what I applied. As I worked as a geological engineer in the field for more than 10 years responsible for the mineral exploration, how can they assessed me as a geologist? Is there any influence for my application to Canada due to I already sent my application form to immigration office as a geological engineer. Although the scored points is still above 73, will that changes affect my application?

Q. Hello, I’d like to accompany my mother to Canada. There surely is no place for ‘parent’ in IMM008; Can I register her as my dependent?

I have read a couple of articles on sponsoring parent, after landing. But in my case, I cannot get a permit for migration *unless* the whole household, including my mom, get the Visa. Then, I can’t land, and, so what.

Dear Madam/Sir,

“For both new applications and those transferred from offices in the US, the time to interview is roughly the same.
