    Confused about Permanent Residence Expiry

    I am a little confused about Permanent Residence if approved. I thought that once you are approved and have Permanent Residence status, that you had it indefinitely. But today I read this in the guide: "A permanent resident visa is issued for a period not extending beyond the earliest expiry...

    Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class Biometrics?

    This was my EXACT question I had today! I'm in the same situation. Inland so no biometrics needed but Work Permit application says I do. So just to clarify. You DO NOT need to submit biometrics for the work permit if filing an inland PR application?

    Previous Addresses: Does 6 months in diff country count?

    Wondering how to fill out the section where it asks to list all previous addresses where i've lived over the past 5 years. For three out of the past 5 years I spent 6 months at home in Canada and then 6 months in the UK with my husband. I was living with my husband on a Visitor status and...

    Need advice for what information to include in a letter

    If you are unemployed and can not submit an NOA/T4s or letter of employment, etc. they DO say to provide evidence of how you intend to support yourselves. On the checklist form IMM5533 it says "If you are not working in Canada, provide other documentation showing that you can support the...

    Submitting OWP with Inland PR Application: Online or Paper?

    Thank you for the info. I guess I was a little confused because when I downloaded the form it said IMM 5710e and the "e" at the end made me think that this wasn't the right one.

    Questions about Open Work Permit application (IMM 5710)

    Hoping someone can answer these questions for you as I have similar questions. Also would like to know, are you filling out the OWP application online or on paper because I'm confused as to whether we still include the paper version along with the PR application. When I went to download the form...

    Way to get notified in case forms update?

    I'd like to know as well. Is there a thread on the forum here where members are on the look out for updated forms and update us? Sounds like a good idea to start one if there isn't.

    Letters of Support - format, quantity to provide?

    Agree with above poster, it's more about the quality and details within the letters. After speaking with an immigration consultant he told us a few points to address within the letters: - Start with I ____(full name)______________ fully declare the following: - In the first paragraph they are...

    OWP Biometrics for UK Citizen when Applying Also for INLAND PR?

    I am a bit confused. For INLAND PR applications we do NOT have to submit Biometrics. However, we are also submitting an OWP and when I went onto the CIC website and checked to see if we needed Biometrics for the OWP http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp I checked off Work Permit and...

    Submitting OWP with Inland PR Application: Online or Paper?

    Hello I have some basic questions about submitting the OWP along with our Inland PR application. As of June 2019 it says that you need to file online. Does this also apply to people doing PR applications or should we still fill out and submit the paper form? Also, what is the document form...

    IMM008-EDUCATION/OCCUPATION DETAI

    You can always add a separate page behind the forms that says RE: Form IMM008 section EDUCATION/OCCUPATION DETAIL.........and then briefly explain the situation further. And then yes, i'd include a copy of your degree/certificate.

    Health Care

    Did you also submit an Open Work Permit application? If so, most provinces (Quebec doesn't) allow you to get Provincial health care with an OWP which usually comes 3-5 months after submitting. If you applied for OWP call your provincial health care department and ask if those with an Open Work...

    Proof of cohabitation.

    Well the fact that you WERE living together since 2016 is a good start. I know that you may not have any of the official documents like utility bills that they are looking for, but do you have any of the other more "creative" documents I mentioned above? If it were me, i'd include that...

    Proof of cohabitation.

    First off, I believe they are requesting this information because you have only been married 1 year. Usually married couples don't have to prove 1 year's worth of co-habitation if they've been married for 2 or more years. They want to make sure that your relationship is genuine and not have...

    I live exclusively outside Canada with my common law partner. Can I sponsor her to get her PR.

    Yes, like the member said above. If you apply INLAND she can apply for an Open Work Permit simultaneously (worth doing regardless if she wants to work or not. Doesn't mean you have to have a job offer already, hence "open"). This permit is usually approved within 3-5 months and lasts up to 2...

    I live exclusively outside Canada with my common law partner. Can I sponsor her to get her PR.

    YES it's definitely easier for you to go and set up in Canada with her as a visitor and apply INLAND from within Canada. I am a Canadian Citizen who lives in the UK and wanted to sponsor my husband but once looking into this forum and seeing the amount of proof needed that we intend on living in...
