Hi again, everyone! Sorry it took me a bit to reply. I appreciate all the comments. I was half waiting to see if the situation would change regarding bf's mom, but it hasn't, so we'll definitely just have to go from there. A few mentioned our common law proofs, so I compiled a list of the basic...

Hi all, I am a US citizen. My boyfriend and I recently became common law and are planning on applying for PR soon. I apologize in advance for the long story and drama surrounding this post, but here goes. We have run into an issue and it requires some background info to explain. My boyfriend's...

Awesome, thanks for the help, profiler!

Hi all, I (US citizen) am applying for a visitor extension right now and want to include a receipt of fees paid for our PR. Can we pay these before completing the visitor app, so that I can show that we want my visitor extended so we can finish our PR application? Also, I am currently on the...

Thanks, ImABule. We will just grab the screenshot of the first name page then.

Hi all, My boyfriend (Canadian citizen) and I (US citizen) recently became common law on September 7, 2016. He changed his marital status to common law on CRA today, but we don't know how to convey this info to CIC. I was reading in another thread to take a screenshot showing the update, but...

Haha, well I'm glad that they didn't give you a hard time on it! And it shows things can go simply sometimes, which also makes me feel a bit more at ease about the process. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, okay. Well, that certainly eases our worries for that. I was just thinking that we'd need to because there'd be a section on the extension app about his current and past jobs. Thinking back on my last extension app, I'm not sure I remember such a thing, though. Maybe that was just for the...

Great, thank you again! Also, one more question if you have the time. I will be applying for a visitor extension, soon. Do you think they'll deny my extension due to the recent job leave or is it basically just the same deal where if we provide the bank statement it should suffice?

Thanks, canuck! So will a statement showing his savings be enough to satisfy that requirement? I assume so since I know it's definitely enough for us to live on for quite a bit. We can also provide a letter with our future plans if necessary. I appreciate the help!

Awesome, thanks, impatientwife! That makes us feel a lot better. So you don't think it will be more likely to trigger an interview or anything? I was kind of thinking once he's accepted as a sponsor, that will pretty much mean that it's cleared up in the eyes of CIC and so it won't really...

Hi all, I am a US citizen living in Canada with my boyfriend. On the 7th, we will officially be Common Law and want to apply for PR soon. My bf is thinking of leaving his current job to pursue a business for a while. He has 50k in savings in the bank to support us in the meantime. If we submit...

Thanks for the tips, Aquakitty and ConfusedCouple! The bad thing, though, is that I saw those moisturizing tips before and was making sure to apply lotion religiously well in advance. :( So even with all that lotioning, my results were still terrible. I will keep trying, though...

Awesome, thank you again Ponga!

Thanks for the advice, Ponga! I will call the FBI as you suggested and go from there.

Hi all, I plan to send off for my FBI check soon, so yesterday I got my fingerprints done at the police station. The policewoman doing my prints said she was letting me know upfront that my prints were awful and hard to identify because my fingers were too smooth and didn't have many...

Awesome! Thanks CDNPR2014! I appreciate the help. :)

Hi all, I'm a US citizen. My bf and I started a joint account at CIBC this year. I'm finishing up my 2015 taxes now and I'm wondering if I need to report this foreign bank account even if it was only just created? I also recently received a notice in the mail from CIBC asking me to send in a...

Thanks, CDNPR2014 and canuck! I will still upload it, then.

Hi all, If you saw my topic from a few days ago, you already know what this is about. But for any that did not, I was asked for a document by CIC that I had already provided on mycic for my visitor extension. Just now I got a message that my app was closed and approved. However, it still says...
