While we appreciate the nice words, unfortunately it’s really an individual case for your boyfriend. There are people waiting for many things and the PR is the only obstacle for that. So therefore, the longer the wait, the more painful it is.

I’ll give some examples: new job opportunities, seeking Canadian citizenship, joining Canadian forces, wanting to visit family and girlfriend abroad, wanting to get married, invest, finance house etc list goes on.
We could never imagine that first come first serve, something so common in Canada, wouldn’t apply to CIC.

These people who applied 6 months after us, they will have a chance to become a citizen before Jan applicants are even eligible to. Doesn’t that sound crazy. Half a year ahead of us.

Sorry if I sound bitter, but it’s kinda difficult not to be in this situation.

Agreed. Just wondering do you get the medical extension or not? I don't have mine yet. Just want to chat a bit.

I think you surely can add yourself to the application. It will prolong the process though. Check with agents. Take a free first session and take notes. Depending on the suggestion and things they tell you. You can decide what to do after?

Better add as a spouse, as common law you will have to show lot more proof. And yeah, when they ask for proof. Provide as much as you have if they ask for 5 photos give them 25, letters bills, messages etc etc All the best

I have all proofs ready way more than to prove its genuine but I’m just afraid about that they will ask then why she haven’t included me before because it’s just a long time now ?

I dont think this would matter, just tell them what you wrote here. and i think it would be much better if she add you in now than sponsor you in the future. as i know sponsoring family takes loooooooooong time....

Hi
I got ADR (CV) 14 th of June- and I got actually 5 days for upload
I called last week to check if they got it, phone guy said they got it but officer didn’t open my file (why he asked to upload with so tight deadline?)
As I understood they are checking my back-home information (and I guess smth goes wrong)
I’m from Russia. Where no one speaks English (if they tried to check my university).
Looks like because of it, I wait soooooo long time (since Jan 2018)
But I am also thinking maybe it is just extra step for masters/PhD?
What education level do you have?
We had CV request too. But moreover we have to provide the specification of our background Master degree, the name of professor and our publication (in our county we do not do any publications for get Master degree). We sent all docs on June 18 and still nothing
