Hey everyone, I have posted a few questions in the past year and you have all been so helpful. So today, my husband got an email telling us his permanent residence application was approved!! We applied outland while he was living here. However, now he is in Australia and I will hopefully be...

Hey there, So my husband (living in Canada with me but applying outland) received his medical exam request on Feb 2. We didn't catch the email right away, so we didn't do the exam until Feb 27. We were then told to complete a blood exam and a chest x-ray. We did those on March 1 and March 9th...

Hey everyone! My Australian spouse is thinking of heading home for a few months to visit his family. We are in the process of his outland PR application. Also, we applied for his third visitor visa extension which we are still waiting to hear back from. Will he have trouble getting back into...

For anyone else reading this, seems like there was a change in their policy sometime in May that was not communicated to anyone. A bunch of returns have been made because of this. It is very important that you select for IMM 1344 Question 6 "Spouse living outside of Canada" if you want to...

Thank you both for your reply.... if anyone else has more to add, please do so! I am positive we didn't make a mistake. I wish it wasn't so difficult to get ahold of them!

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well. We sent off the spousal sponsorship for my Australian husband two months ago and we just received it back in the mail today. They sent a letter asking us for clarity on which class we are applying for. The letter mentions this: "While the Document...

Hey there, we are almost finished up our spousal sponsorship application! Just one last question... for the "General Information" form, under heading 10, it asks for "current country of residence"- status and dates (from/to). I'm not sure how to answer this. My partner came to Canada under a...

EDIT #2: Sorry I have one more question. So if we are doing outland, does this mean it is under the "Family Class" and not the "Spouse or common-law partner in Canada Class"? I think I assumed the "Spouse..." one and hence where my confusion began. EDIT: I just went back to reload the package...

Hey, so I looked at the document checklist again and now I am confused. This is what it tells me: "Please check the box which applies to you (the primary applicant): I am currently living in Canada with my spouse, and I am applying under the Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada class."...

I thought if he was living in Canada at the time of applying for Outland, you should send it to Ontario. Maybe I am wrong though.

So I thought of another question..... if we do outland and send it to Ontario, will he need to be in Canada for the medical exam? If there's a chance he'll be in Australia by then, should we be sending it to Sydney instead? Thank you.

I guess my thought process was to get the PR in as fast as possible, so he has it sooner than later. We also don't know how Australia is going to be dealing with the fallout of being so closed off, so we may be coming back to Canada without spending much time in Australia. In terms of getting...

Hey there, I was told to post my question in this forum-- I had originally put it under "Family Sponsorship". The story is that I (Canadian) am in the process of sponsoring my Australian husband who is living in Canada with me. We are applying for Outland so that we are able to travel to...

Okay, thank you both for your reply. Just to clarify, once he receives PR, he'll have a year to enter Canada to claim it. After that, he'll have to be here for 2 out of the total 5 years. Is that the case? I haven't been able to find information on this -- is there a site I can look into? Thanks...

Hey there, I am in the process of sponsoring my Australian husband. Due to Covid, we are both living in Canada at the moment. However, once the borders open up, our plan is for me to get my working holiday visa and for us to visit Australia for a bit. For that reason, we will be doing outland so...

Okay sounds good... No, he doesn't need to submit one, so I guess I won't worry about it. Thanks for your help :)

Okay, yeah that's what I was leaning towards. Do you know if they require a Canadian police check from him later on if it would be a problem if he isn't here? And about the intent to return, do you know when that may be required? Thank you.

Hey there, For outland, we are hoping to both visit Australia when their borders open up and I am under the impression that applying outland will allow us to both move freely during the waiting process. Is this correct? Will we have an issue if we are abroad while we are waiting for an answer...

Hey there, I am applying for outland to sponsor my spouse who is Australian- we both live in Canada. When it comes to his police certificate and full license history search (he's from VIC), do we need to have them send it to Canada or can we send them to his parents in Australia and then they...

Sorry, I have one more question. I was looking at the mail more closely and it says under Remarks and Observations: Temporary Resident Status maintained as per R183(6). When we go to apply for a visitor record extension, what do we say is his current immigration status. Is it visitor or...
