  1. Hey everyone my wife and i are trying to travel to canada on the 4th of July. Her passport expires June 6th. Here in Atlanta we can not find anyone to take pictures that wont be rejected. We have sent 4 sets from four different photographers. Costco, Wolfe Camera, Professional downtown, and a place that specilizes in the passport photos for all countries were all denied. Can she travel into Canada with an expired passport and her green card? Then stay in Canada until her new passport comes in since we can get photos there ?

  2. On the passport renewal form for canada it asks for "Documents that Support your ID"

    Can I use my Wife Permanent Resident Card. It is the only card that has the correct new last name. If I am allowed to use that It says I can photocopy it. What other types of documents have you used to support your ID.

  3. Regarding the passport photo, for the image itself, the Canadian standard is much higher. There can't be any shadows anywhere in the photo (ie.background, on ears, under eyes), there also cannot be any shine on your face. I would e-mail the Canadian Consulate in your state and ask if they can recommend a photographer who can take the proper photo to size and image quality (they do have this info and they will let you know). Many folks have their passport applications returned due to a rejected photo.....yet they will keep the appl. money.

    For gaurnator, you do need one, but they have changed it from certain individuals (a lawyer, judge, teacher etc...) to any one who has known you for 2 yrs, has a valid Canadian passport and has known you for 2 years. * The gaurantor must also sign the back of one of your photos, stating that it is a true likness of you and date it. They must also sign the application.

    I hope this helps.

    what do I do if we are in America and nobody has a canadian passport that we have known for two years. Can I sign it? I have had an American Passport for 5 years or does it have to be canadian that is where I am struggling.

  4. do they have to have a canadian passport for 5 years. Like i said we are in the US. But if it is american or canadian that would be easy.

    Since your Passport is not yet expired, you should be able to use the new Simplified passport renewal rules. HERE

    No Guarantor needed under the new rules.

    well i got married so my last name changed :(

  5. My passport expires in June and I need to renew it. I just got my green card and currently living in the united states. I found the website on how to renew the passport, but have a few questions.

    1) Nobody in the states cuts photos for Canadian passports. Can i cut them myself. I went to Costco and they did gave me photos a little larger than the required size. They said they dont have the machine to cut it.

    2) Guarantor- My aunt is a nurse does the qualify as a medical doctor ? If not who can I use if I dont know anyone personally.

  6. On April 22, 2010, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

    YAY :D.

    Is it weird I checked my case status and that was the message, but i didnt get an email. I received emails on everything else, but the acceptance :D

  7. I have asked this question before, but have not gotten a clear answer yet so let me explain it better.

    I have a friend who came down to america on a tourist visa, from Canada, to help our church with music and just hang out for six months. He ended up falling in love with an American Citizen and they got married a couple of days ago. His 6 month tourist visa expires in May and they want to adjust his status to permanent resident. So he is adjusting from tourist visa to permanent resident. This was not premeditated they did not know each other beforehand. What forms should they fill out ?

    Thanks,

  8. Hey everyone, this is a question for my friend. Obviously not me because im already married, but anyway here it goes.

    My friend came from Vancouver, Canada on a tourist visa to be with his family for six months. He met a girl he did not know prior to this trip and they are getting married in May. May would be around his 110th day in the states. He does not want to leave the states after getting married. So what steps does he have to take?

    Thanks in advance
