Excellent, thanks people, i'll come in as a visitor. I'm not brining much in the way of stuff over as I've already been living in Canada 2 years and all my shizz is already at home :)

Hello, So I applied for permanent residency outland from the UK London high commission. While waiting for my Confirmation of Permanent Residency (COPR) i decided to take a six-week trip to Thailand. One week in, and my partner tells me that they sent me my COPR to my Canadian home address, as...

Dammit! How did i miss this during my application process??? This would probably have avoided their email. However, It says that I need to get it signed by the Commissioner of Oaths - how can I get that done? Especially in the next 25 days. Anyone any ideas?

Hi, Thanks sooo much for your reply. A statutory declaration from my parnter is no problem. We already sent them statutory declarations from both her parents that we've been cohabiting in a cojugal relationship that is exclusive for over a year. I had lots of letters come to me from banks to...

Hello folks, I applied outland via the London, UK office for a Family Class visa, Common Law partner, with my girlfriend as sponsor. I've lived in Canada for over a year now, however I've lived at her house. As such I didn't pay any rent and the mortgage is entirely in her name. I sent my...

thanks for your detailed replies everyone!

Hi, Thanks for your thorough reply. The conjugal thing I actually got insight from a couple of peopel on here last year who did the same - i.e they had to apply conjugal because they couldn't get a year visa to live together, weren't gay or previously married but were still accepted. I think...

Hi everyone, I'm British and hoping to move to Canada to live with my girlfriend who I've been involved with for over a decade. Last year, just as I hit the 31-years-old cut-off, I applied for a one year visit Canada visa which also gave me a work permit. I entered the country as a temporary...

Hi everyone, I have a one year work permit obtained through experience Canada program. I'm moving there next Thursday. When I land, I'll be living with my Canadian girlfriend in Sarnia. If I tell immigration officials when i land next week that I'll be living in Sarnia with her - will that be...

I don't believe in marriage... it's a patriarchal institution designed to perpetuate the propertied class! lol Thanks for your help Elizabeth, given me a few things to think about x

Hey man, if u guys are certain conjugal is a long shot (i really don't see why?) then i can always do what i suggested before. Get my Letter of Introduction - go visit her a couple of months on a tourist visa, so we can START the cohabiting bit, go to a border point (she literalyl lives on the...

Yeah but these are thigns we can build. What do they want, erotic emails? I'm pretty good at writing steamy emails, if i do say so myself, i can show them these if they want lol I'm not going to move to Canada until the beginning of 2013 anyway. We're going to visit each other as much as we can...

No, but i could if i applied for permanent residency as a conjugal partner? Or as a common law partner? That would still qualify as "Extending your stay" by "changin your status". Look, the Extending your status website even has the application for applying for Common Law residency...

If you want to know the intimate details of our story, she was in living in London, we met, we date, we tried to maintain a long distance relationship, but that didn't work. We stayed in touch and met up intermittently over the next decade, nearly always reigniting romantic passions... if you...

Sorry so a "temporary worker" is not the same as "temporary resident"? So temporary worker can't have their visa extened and maintain Implied Status as a "temporary worker"? I'm from the UK

Sorry Allison, i just read you say that I can apply for outland where i am, even from Canada. That's good to know, i guess i'll be dong that then when i get to Canadada

Not sure this is true... haven't read anything to suggest otherwise. Can you point me to anywhere where it says this? Because I CAN apply to have my temporary residence extended, even if i do turn 31, for example if i get an employer to sponsor me, or if my status chagnes (i.e. i become Common Law).

Hello, Regarding your first point. It would be easy for us to show that we have a conjugal relationship as per http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf document, particlar regards to section 5.26 as we have a TEN YEAR relationship of constant visits and emails and visas...

Thanks, useful info. I should be ok with Implied Status work permit :)

Aight, cool, thanks for your help!
