Not sure you meant to quote me here, but my timeline is in my signature.

Timeline ? Which VO ? :)

If I am not mistaken, you can, for a period of 6 months, without visa. Afterwards, you need to extend your visitor stay if you want to stay in the country for more than the 6 month period allowed in the year.

Just going to drop this here, but since you lived the majority of your life in the US - i.e. born til 21 - you will need to submit a PCC for both Canada and the US, which is what the FBI history mentioned above would be. Whether you have a record or not is irrelevant here really, they will be...

We have the same under Additional Document, it just says “We have received the additional documents you provided.” I did reach out and they confirm they had received them and they were being reviewed, but nothing changed.

I was wondering the same as we had additional documents request for PCC and that line hasn’t changed at all since April when they received it...

Thanks. I think our common law application had very little doubt with over 4 years together, nearly 4 living together (the other part was in student housing, same building), we had registration proof, lease proof, family & friend letters, photos, proof of shared expenses... OK, seeing as other...

Question : do common law spousal sponsorship application usually complicate/slow down final approval or completion of the process ? or is that just my perception ? It feels like marriage is a big thing for the sponsorship to move quickly vs common law.

Aw congrats! Such good news. Nothing on our end still, but giving me hope

I am assuming it would be return. We hit a problem with ours a while back where we couldn't confirm our application had been received or even where it was due to covid and post in May 2020. We ended up sending one back via courrier service to have a confirmation of delivery in August 2020 after...

I know yeah, I am hoping it'll be about 11 months, like you, which would mean early July. Though, hoping seems useless haha We're planning/hoping to come end of July due to my job :).

Agreed ! Thank you for your help and advices, as always !

Yeah, Australia was a pain for us to get, but they gave us 90 days so worked out. Australia had paper based so they were mailing the PCC from Australia, which was really inconvenient. We ended up calling them and asking really nicely if they could email us the PDF since that was really what we...

Thank you ! I guess it does put in context the whole move and intent to return. Will let them know. While its not moving to Canada, it is definitely a step forward in that sense.

About 2 months or so until end of July where we'll be flying to Canada because my contract is being moved to the Canadian entity of my company. A bit longer than 2 weeks and different country so...maybe ?

Omg that was so quick ! Aw, so happy for you. Gives me a little bit of hope that ours might unblock since we applied in August, so a little later, but hopeful seeing yours move now !

My partner and I just let go of our apartment in the Netherlands and are spending time in Finland until we make the move to Canada. I am assuming we should update those details and let immigration Canada know about this temporary move ?

This does not seem to be a mistake. We provided only a police certificate from the Netherlands, where we lived, when we applied. They came back and requested a Police Certificate from Finland (which we should have anticipated really as this would have fit pour 2 you pointed out) and Australia...

Dared to check ECAS and GCKey, and absolutely no change on our end. This is depressing.

So happy for you! Last stretch. I don’t dare look anymore. Will just wait for good news via email haha
