Polygamy, or having more than one spouse, is traditionally practiced by Muslims, Mormon Christians, and some Scandinavian people. There are also some people in our society today, who choose to maintain a serious and committed romantic relationship with more than one person at a time. However...

1. Not in your case. You have to be accompanying your Canadian citizen spouse who is staying outside of Canada temporarily. Since your spouse obtained a U.S. green card and has established permanent residence in the United States, you are no longer eligible for this waiver. You can keep your...

Q1. Normally, no. The only people who are allowed to be sponsored from within Canada are spouses and common-law partners.

You have to add the child to your permanent residence application either as an accompanying family member, or a non-accompanying family member. If you do not add him, then you may later lose your permanent residence status for withholding a fact material to your landing. If you add the child...

I have already seen many posts on this board from Indian computer programmers with H1B visas in USA, who are also trying to push through for Canadian immigration. Why are they trying so hard to make sure they are able to stay in North America? From what I heard, India is a pretty cool country...

1. Yes, there will be a big problem because your are required to notify the visa post about any change to your family status, such as a birth of a child. 2. Having a child and not informing the visa post can invalidate your landing visa. Even if you are allowed to land, the child will not be...

How much time did it take from having you file transferred there to getting the landing interview scheduled? How do they inform you about the interview - letter, phone call? Many thanks, Alfaris
