I would provide a copy of anything that shows when your course completion date is and a letter stating your intention to return. I would also provide a letter from your father stating he will be hosting her until your return on xx date, and that he is aware of the situation and is working with...

I agree as well. Based on what the VO wrote, the problem is very clearly the lack of proof that you will return to Canada. If they thought you were a PR, the letter would read very differently. Best thing you can do is provide additional proof as soon as you can. Unfortunately the onus here is...

That response sounds like a form response with your details inserted. I'm sure they don't doubt that you are Canadian, they have your passport copy. They doubt your intent to return to Canada, as only a letter from yourself saying you're going to move is very weak evidence. Along with the...

We didn't include anything extra in the sponsorship app as proof of our relationship, just what was in the principal applicant's section of the PR app. For that part, I included a document for "additional proof." Included 8 photos of us together, including one of us with his whole family...

If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen, then yes, they can. They might need to prove their intent to return to Canada though. If the sponsor is a PR, then they can only leave for short vacations.

Since you are a Canadian citizen then yes, you can apply while you are both living outside of Canada. You would just need to show intent to return to Canada after PR is approved. As long as you have lived at some point in time for 12 continuous months, then you have established common-law...

I might add that the purpose of the family class is to "unite in Canada" (re-unite assumes that they have been separated, which is not always accurate - and as you say, this will be true for couples living together in Canada or abroad). Because there is a requirement for the expat Canadian...

...but if she already got her visitor visa, that means she has already convinced VO her intent to return to her home country. How often do customs agents in Canadian airports turn away visitors who have just arrived? ...Then again, I'd believe anything at the airport these days. Returning to...

Agreed. CIC doesn't require you to have any specific status for whatever country you are in and they do not require the sponsor to do a medical. If you decide to do this, you will need to include proof of your intent to return to Canada with the application.

That looks like a good overview for getting your application started. If you're missing anything, I don't see it. One step in the "gather all documents" step is putting together your "proof" of your relationship. Some people send in a LOT of info. In fact, after I started reading a lot here...

The process also varies by VO. Most don't receive anything until PPR. Generally, PPR includes instructions as to how to send your passport. Usually, you can mail it or send it by courier. Some VOs also allow you to go in person. If you send your passport in by mail or courier, they will return...

I think "PI" means principal immigrant. "FOSS" means computer notes taken by CIC related to previous applications or border crossings. It says there's no negative information of that kind recorded. GCMS is a similar system instituted later. The GCMS check is probably to see whether there are...

Thanks a lot Leisa!!

Oscar, that confuses me too, I don't know what the difference is between the two. I saw you already joined the facebook page, so definatly ask on there because I know there is a few people on there that had to prove their intent to return to Canada, they probabaly have a better idea of what the...

I am Canadian but my boyfriend is American. He came to visit me in March with intent to return to the US at which point we'd decide where we want to be. He loved it here and stayed a long while to help me with some family matters. At the end of May I found out I was pregnant. I'm due January...

Right, a citizen can sponsor while living outside of Canada. If she stays for a long time, though, the visa officer may think she does not intend to return to Canada when you get your PR visa, in which case the PR application can be refused. The visa officer would first ask for proof that she is...

Yes, this would absolutely guarantee that there would be no issues. As a Canadian citizen, you are allowed to live abroad with your PR spouse, and it will still count towards her PR residency requirements. They already have COPR, so that is no longer an issue.

It might work for cohabitation (not sure), but it might cause problems in other ways. I know that as a sponsor, I had to show intent to return to reside in Canada. I'd still be thinking about exploring options on the work front, rather than exploring untested options on the immigration front...

I'm a little confused about the above rule......so a Canadian (citizen) sponsor can stay outside of Canada during the process, but has to show intend of returning to Canada when the PR is granted to the sponsored spouse... But then according to this...

If you are a PR, then *you* have to be in Canada to sponsor her (citizens can sponsor from outside the country, so long as they show intent to return, but I think PRs have to be inside Canada to sponsor). So depending on her citizenship, if she's from a visa-exempt country (like the UK), she...
