You're welcome. Good luck to us both! :D

I'm American and have applied inland specifically because my sponsor is expecting and I need an open work permit as soon as possible--i.e. waiting even 6-8 months is a non-starter for us, alas. If we didn't have a kid on the way, I'd definitely be applying outland. If you can support your...

Regarding the updated IMM0008: I applied May 4th (received by CIC on May 6th) and when I did my final check on the morning of May 4th, the latest update read February 2015. Naturally. (Perhaps this is because Chrome displayed a cached version of the website? Who knows). I studied the...

My advice is to visit your local library and make use of their scanners and copiers (*they might even have a spare flash drive you can use while there). I would have been able to do the whole thing from a library if needed... and I'm in Saskatchewan. All you need to do is scan your documents...

I know this was raised before, but why not just apply online? I apologize if you've answered that before and I've missed it.

The funds available for stay is an interesting one. We put $1,000 for the initial app and restoration. But hey, $6,000 is six times better! 8)

Yes, I applied from inside Canada, and online. Right now it's supposedly taking two months for online applications, and over three for snail mail applications. I would go with the online option because it's quicker and easier. Additionally, he will be granted implied status until his...

You're welcome. I probably shouldn't post the letter, but I can say that it was very simple and to the point. She said her name, date of birth and said that I was invited to stay with her during my stay, and that she would provide for all of my needs. She closed the letter stating her yearly...

My common-law partner and I were in the exact same situation (I'm from the USA, she's from Canada). She wrote a letter to CIC (which we enclosed in my visitor extension application) saying that she's support my needs financially. In that letter she spelled out what her expected salary would be...

If you have been out of status for less than 90 days, then you should apply to restore it immediately. To my knowledge, only CBSA handles deportations, and that they would only come for you if there is a removal order. Simply being out of status is not something I would worry too much...

Okay, I'm going to mail that to CIC-M tomorrow then.... and hope! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for responding! I also forgot the OWP document checklist (not the PR checklist). still okay?

Hey folks, I finally got my PR application submitted (inland spousal sponsorship). I submitted my PR and OWP in separate letter-sized envelopes inside the same large mailing envelope. But I put all my supporting docs in the PR application envelope. So did I need to include duplicate...

Hey Ponga, thank you! :D

Hey guys, Do I really need to obtain and submit an FBI police certificate at the time I make my inland application for PR to CIC? Or is this something that comes after stage 1 approval? Background: I'm going to be applying for PR (via the spousal sponsorship class) very soon. Since my...

Thanks Ponga. So now that I've applied to restore my status (yes, I was within the 90 days window), I have implied status again? If that's the case I can apply for PR and OWP in March once my GF and I become common law, even if my restoration of status app is still pending? Does this sound...

Hey Everybody! In Nov 2014 I applied for a visitor extension, and was refused on 1/9/15 for not providing evidence of being in possession of a valid passport--sadly, I unknowingly/accidentally uploaded the wrong passport file to the CIC website when I used their online application. This was...
