    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

    In regards to having to send the police clearances with your application, you don't have to. We were advised by CIC to send mine in after submitting the application because mine will take so long to get to me (Uganda taking 3+ months right now, Bhutan is taking more like 5 months to get)...

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    Right, and the AOR is proof of receipt from CIC that you have a Permanent Residency application in, so this serves as proof of your implied status I believe.

    additional family information

    @sta: I believe your question was answered in another thread, but, your husband would have to fill out those forms. @s86: in the relationship field you would write 'father', 'mother', 'brother', etc. based on who they are to you. If I remember correctly, there is already a slot for you to...

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    When I spoke with CIC they said you gain Implied Status once you get an AOR for Inland PR.

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    Yes, you are correctly talking about the AOR :D I know what you mean :) And be sure to double check and verify everything when you speak with CIC, that will help decrease worry :)

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    Good to hear! Also, be sure to print off the AOR as evidence of your husband's legal status in Canada.

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    Yes, an AOR grants the applicant implied status. You may want to call CIC or email them and see if they will refund you the $75. They may not catch the overlap there.

    Can a canadian citizen marry someone that is living illegally in the USA.

    I would encourage you to mention it. But it may cause suspicion. What you're going to do is immigrate somewhere, with a past of immigrating illegally. So just be ready for questions, but honesty is the way better path. Hopefully someone with more detailed knowledge can guide you here.

    visit limited to 3 months

    Exactly what was just mentioned. When I came in they gave me a little over a month because I lacked ties to the U.S., meaning they thought I was going to run and disappear into Canada. So we just filed for an extension and paid the $75.00 because we planned to stay longer than 30 days. That...

    Sponsor questionnaire IMM 5540

    I would say that sounds right, that you've been living in Canada since you arrived. The only thing though would be if you needed a new visa to enter Canada after your trip home, then I would think your time living in Canada would be from the most recent entry.

    Appendix A Police Certificate

    Hi Cahira, So you need original police clearances. Appendix A is for requesting police certificates from the respective country, typically one that is not your home country. For example, I lived in Uganda for 8 months, but I am an American. I got my FBI background clearance done without...

    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    Also, if you mentioned that you're working on or awaiting the PR application decision, they will most likely approve an extension. My wife and I had the same issue and we got a successful extension to cover me for the time inbetween the expiration of my visitor's visa, and receiving the PR...
