Read the instructions! It is pretty straigh forward. If you send in the application expired, or soon to expire documentation, your application will be returned to you. You will only add months (many months) to your processing time. Save yourself some time, redo Medical and Police records and send in the application.

Yes, you need to redo the Mecial exam. The medical must have been done within the last 6 months from the date you apply, but also, you PR visa is only valid 12 month from when you did the medical. Be pro-active and redo the medical as CIC will ask you for it.

Sorry, but you misunderstood me. Read the instructions in the application guide and it will tell you what to do. Although you file through Buffalo (or any other CIC office), you still send the application to CIC Mississauga. Mississauga will review the application to make sure that all supporting documents, such as Medical, police records etc are included. If everything is in order, CIC Mississauga will forward the application to the processing office (in your case Buffalo). You never send the application for Family Class directly to the Buffalo office. Make sure you don't send the original Medical recepit separate. It must be included with the application (to Mississauga). If the Medical is not included your application is consider incomplete and will be returned. All this is stated in the instructions. Read them, and read them again. The guide will tell you how to file your application. A slight error, or a missing document, will delay your application with several months.

You send the Sponsorship application and your husbands PR application to Mississauga - not Buffalo. You pay all fees to Mississauga. Once the sponsorship application is approved, Mississauga will forward your husband's PR application to Buffalo, NY. Buffalo will send you the AOR confirming they have it. Any additional documents (if requested) will be sent directly to Buffalo.

My sponsor didn't as she did not work in Canada at the time. However, she did write a letter explaining why Option C was not included in the app.

Topic: Immigration to Canada

You can apply as a skilled worker to Canada if your profession is on the list of professions in demand. The new list will be published in September. The process will take about 2 years through Buffalo, NY. If your profession is not on the list, don't waste your money and time - you will be rejected. You can also apply through PNP if you have a job lined up. Easier process (if you have a job offer that is), and will take about the same time. All the information you need regarding PNP and Skilled Workers is on CIC web site. Take the test and see if you get 67 points. Good luck.

Topic: U.S. and Canadian Immigration and Criminal Bases

You have to clear your records in the US first. Appear in court and take your punishment. After a period of time (I think itis 5 years) after you have served your time, paid your fine or what ever the court orders you to do, you can apply for pardon. The pardon fee is about $1,000 and takes about one year.

Now, if they never took your fingerprints you should still be good to apply diretly for PR. Unless fingerprinted there is no record.

Topic: U.S. and Canadian Immigration and Criminal Bases

No, Canada and US are two different countries! However, if you have a criminal record in the US it will show as you will have to provide Canadian Immigration with your FBI and State Police records. If you have a criminal record in US or any other country you will have to apply for pardon before you can apply for PR (or any visa)

As long as you have been legally admitted to the US for 1 year, you can apply via Buffalo, NY. It does not matter if you previously have (or are) violation US immigration laws. Canada care less about US imigration, but they do care about your criminal record and they are pretty hard (even a DUI will hinder you from applying without pardon).
