    Thanks for the reply, I suspect you're right about this but we'll keep trying to get more info. We have no issue paying for the documents to be sent, but thought we'd already done that based on the guidelines, and if we pay again now (happy to try) we still don't trust VFS to connect the dots in...

    I meant to add: It's the same VFS location where she did er biomentrics, leading us to believe an additional payment wasn't necessary at this stage. However, if we did choose to pay for postage now, there is banking info on their website but no actual way to specify what is being paid for...

    Hi all, My wife's application was submitted October 24, 2022. We completed all the steps, and in mid-May received an email "Please review your mailing address above and advise us of any updates." This asked her to provide 2x passport photos and to complete the appendix A with some personal...

    Probably unrealistic due to 2 year processing times currently being offered, unfortunately. Thanks!

    Thanks, we'll work on this. I'm wondering, hypoethetically, would I not be allowed to return to Canada with my wife if I was unemployed?

    Thanks for clarifying, I'm confusing myself as we're using some the same evidence for multiple sections. Will these help prove our intent to move? -A letter from someone stating they will sell us a house -Deeds (I jointly own 2 properties with my father, rural land, and I jointly own another...

    Thanks, we'll try to get non-binding letters from our employers. What I'm finding strange is I'm under the impression they allow jobseekers all the time and for an outland application it doesnt indicate anywhere that one must be employed. The UK's way of having a stated salary requirement, while...

    Thanks again to you both! This is all reassuring. We are both remote workers for fully remote companies and will be keeping our jobs (our employers have agreed verbally but since the move itself is so far off, it's not practical for us to have this on paper yet). I've written letters outlining...

    Thanks, we've done just this! We're almost there but are finding the 'Intent to move to Canada' question fairly ambiguous. We've provided letters of intent and expressing support from family members, lots of photos including our annual trips to Canada, we plan to move to my hometown where I...

    Hi all, I'm back with another question. On forms IMM0008 and IMM5406, 2 fields need to be signed. Consent to share information on 0008, and Section D Certification on 5406. The PDF's do not allow these fields to be signed. There is no guidance available and I am not finding any help or...

    Just to clarify, we will wait overseas until approved and then move over once approved. In this case, there would be no issue with her employment situation, correct? Thanks

    Thanks very much, we'll get the letters to play it safe! I'm also wondering if signatures are required if we are providing letters. Work should be able to provide digital signatures, but I am also enclosing a letter from my parents (they will be assisting with housing - staying with them...

    Thanks everyone for your advice, this is very helpful and gives me some things to look into! The employment situation will be the tricky part. I do believe I read something about there being a grace period regarding foreign employment/taxpaying but will of course do my homework there. Thanks...

    Hello, I am a Canadian citizen living in the UK with my British wife. We would like to move to Canada and are trying to determine our most sensible path forward. Both of our current employers are willing to keep us on (probably as contract workers) after we move. I have family ties in NS...
