If you have a permit, I was told you can! Permit as in the bigger piece of paper that requires folding in to your passport, as opposed to a visa.

I'm so sorry to hear that ACS... but APRIL?? Did she say why so far away?

The thing is, you can't apply for work permit then consider PR later, unless her employer is willing to sponsor her. If you are going the spousal sponsorship route, you can apply for work permit WITH PR application.

That's great news, congratulations!

If your record is clean, I would assume your case is going to be treated as "straightforward ". I moved around all my life as well, and they didn't give me any trouble when I requested my background check. Unless you need your record from multiple countries... Then that might get annoying for...

To those that have recently gotten their OWP, how long is it good for? Is it true that it depends on your passport expiry date? My passport is expiring in about a year, and i don't have my aip yet, obviously... I would hate to get my OWP next year just to find out that it's only good for less...

Thank you all. And edgehead, I do agree with you 100%.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ok noted. Thank you! Impressive as always you guys!

Three years as of the day you apply or three years as of the day you get get Dm though? Say A started living with B in 2010, so to date, they've been living together for 4 years but at the time she sent in her app they were only living together for 2 years ... Condition 51 or is she good...

THANK YOU! I still think the guidelines can be clearer..

I read on this forum that you only become a common law after one year of living together. So when they say you need two years to not get conditional PR, the clock starts after that first year of cohabitation, correct? So in Reality you have to have cohabited for three years before applying to...

:'( I wish I knew about this before going the inland route haha.. I guess 31 months is "average" ? That means more applicants have to go through interviews?

I Think that's good news. I recognize the word "dispatch" from when I applied for my multiple entry visa. When I got it I first thought they meant they started processing the application, so I waited two more weeks to hear back from them. When I heard nothing I contacted the embassy and they...

:o :o :o Six months???????????? Good for you! Where did they get their 31 months from then??????????? Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for you! We're you pleasantly surprised or did you call their bluff ::)

A permit allows you to stay in the country with a legal status. It does not guarantee reentry (it actually says that at the bottom). A visa is what permits entry.

Same here, I have a multiple entry visa and the officer at the border gave me a hard time about it. Because even though I was reentering Canada (and you would assume my six months validity start right there and then), they said it's different for land border. The officer simply looks at the last...

I got my birth certificate translated in canada by a province certified translator (I got his contact from the embassy) and I paid 50 CAD. I got another document translated in my home country (a developing country where everything is cheaper) and it was a tad bit cheaper but not much. I read...

Why can't she? Is she here to do a degree or something else? In theory though, it shouldn't matter but she should doublecheck the expiry of her study permit, aka how long she is able to stay in Canada legally.

Bankerguy: What s/he said. You can get in to a lot of trouble for "volunteering" doing something Canadians can do and get paid for. After all your partner is technically taking away from Canadian labour market, even if she's not retting paid for her volunteering. Have you heard of bridging...

:o now I'm worried.... If I have multiple entry visa, why would they deny entry though, right....? As long as I'm not bringing back meat products or give them any reason to doubt my intentions? I think I'm safe but has anyone encountered any bad experience?
