Actually, my partner and I don't have phones at all. So I would need to borrow someone else's phone, and that's the real problem. lol. We've been planning to get a phone plan for months, but we don't wanna jump the gun on things before I receive PR. Thanks for the reply!

Has anyone called the FBI recently to see what day they are currently working on? I would do this myself but I'm living in Canada with no way to call internationally. I'd appreciate if anyone could post an update!

Good mention, Kawafam! I had forgotten about form B. The form in Appendix B is so that the police will do the fingerprinting. I didn't actually need that form (in Canada) as the consulate just sent me to a professional fingerprint shop. If anyone is planning to go to the police, they'll...

Print and fill out the form under Appendix A and give this to the consulate. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5289ETOC.asp#appendixA I haven't sent in my application for sponsorship yet (so I haven't gotten a request) but they accepted this form and allowed me to...

Maybe you can try applying by paper. Then the response time is around 100 days or so, during that time your wife would have implied status. She'd almost certainly receive her passport back from Ottawa by the 100 day mark.

Whenever you paid for the OWP and PR application they sent an electronic receipt to the email you provided. Those receipts will be his proof of implied status once his visa runs out. He can show those to any police officer that asks about his status (which is already unlikely) and they will...

Thanks very much!

I'm applying to be sponsored by my spouse and I am currently staying in Canada under a visitor visa. I will need to put down whether I'm working or not on my application and I want to do things properly and legally. If it's not legal to work as a freelancer in Canada then I just won't work. But...

The FBI just received my prints on the 11th. I still have such a long wait. Thanks for updating us, everyone! It's nice to have some reference to how long I still have before receiving anything.

I had been under the impression it was illegal to work in Canada without a work permit. However, recently someone (a Canadian) told me that you may work as a freelancer in Canada as long as the company using your services is not Canadian and you're not being paid into a Canadian bank account...

I agree with the people above, don't say things like "moving" or "living". Right now, you're technically trying to come in with a visitor's visa and then live in Canada (though still on visit status). In the eyes of the CBSA that is the same as trying to illegally immigrate. It's probably better...

If I were to do that, is there an address available where I could send it? Or would I need to wait for a request from the office?

Thanks a lot, everyone! But wow, only 2 months? That's amazing. Unfortunately, I can't apply now since I still need to wait for my FBI background check to be returned. But I think my case is pretty standard and there won't be any problems once I apply for sponsorship.

American here. I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to apply for Spousal Sponsorship via Inland or Outland. I know Inland is much much slower but the chance of having an OWP would make that wait almost bearable. I've seen some people here mentioning that the Outland processing times...

If you're still concerned about whether or not you can get married, then I'd say yes. This is assuming that you and your girlfriend have both never been married or if you have documentation to prove you are now divorced from a prior marriage. Above, you said you were in Ontario. I'm an American...
