DCF for holder of Work Permit in Canada

[krazykraut 0]

Hi everyone,

I wonder if someone else is in the same situation: I'm a German citizen, living in Canada. I've been here for 18 months now, on a work permit. My wife (USC) lives with me, she got an open work permit, too. We started the DCF in Calgary in August, where they immediately approved the I-130. Proving residency was no problem, since she has a Canadian Social Insurance Card and health insurance. Five weeks later we got a letter from the MTL consulate, asking me to prove MY Canadian citizenship or legal status in Canada. I immediately sent a copy of my work permit, but haven't heard from them since. I'm wondering if they can still turn us down. MTL has assigned a case number already, so I'm hopeful. Anyone else has more info on this?

Cheers,

They won't turn you down. I was on a work permit as well (I am a Mexican citizen) teaching in Edmonton while my husband USC finished grad school and we had the same request, so I did what you did and voila: our I-130 was approved. It doesn't hurt to phone/email them!!!

Good luck, L.

Yes what LenandBren said

Here are the 'official' instructions. I'm not surprised you didn't hear back from them, although it wouldn't hurt to check to make sure they in fact received the document.
