I applied from Japan too. You need to renew the passports. And, you need to get official documents translated by a certified translator. Also, although I have found Japanese commissioners of oaths and notaries many were unwilling to notarise/witness my documents - they referred me to the...

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it. Do you have a link to that case, I would love to look at it. I'm getting a telephone consult with a Lawyer tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have a plan of action then. I have read about misrepresentation , and I read that if you volunteer the correct...

Thanks. I think that is what I will do. I will not be able to get legal advice until May 5, and that leaves 20 days on the time frame by which CIC will continue processing my application anyway. Does anyone know how long it takes CIC to confirm that an application is withdrawn?

When I came to Japan I was put in temporary accommodation for 3 weeks, one apartment for less than 6 months and the other for less than 6 months. I also, just put in my U.K addresses as my bank statements, U.K tax are still registered at my U.K address. I read about withdrawal and its says a...

I would do that but my issue, is that they sent an email request the info withing 45 days, or they would continue assessing the application regardless. I'm not even sure about how fast the application can be withdrawn. I don't want to be in a situation whereby I have not sent the required...

what can I do to mitigate this situation. Should I withdraw the application at the same time as presenting the up to date information for example?

We had separate addresses from April 2012, but we lived together at her address. Our apartments were company provided, I didn't stay at mine at all. But I could only be released of it after my one year contract had finished. I then added my name to the lease of the apartment we are living in now...

We have a common law application being processed. I recently received a request for more information regarding my home addresses. However I realized that I had not provided an upto date list of addresses. Our common law application was sent before we had lived together for one year, so we are...

im really worried aboit being classes as misrepresenting ourselves. what should i do? 1. send them the info they requested and give them the updated data and continue the application. 2. . send them the info they requested and give them the updated data and withdraw the application? 3. Just...

Im glad you were able to arrange it! In Japan it only takes 7 days! I guess I'll apply for one in Calgary as soon as I land. Im guessing that you are doing an inland application?

First of all, thanks for replying. You are right of course. CIC only received the app after we had had the same address - joint tenancy for 3 months. Before then we had been cohabiting in a conjugal relationship but, I did have my own address- which was issued by my employer. I didn't stay...

So I'm form the UK, my partner is from Canada (sponsor). We have been living in Japan together for the last 1 year officially, and we have been unofficially co-habiting for a year before. We submitted our common law application only after we had around 3 months official cohabitation (Manila...

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. We have sent a lot of evidence to CIC, if they reject the application, will they send it all back?

I think you are right. The application has reached the final consideration stage. There was a request for new information last week. I need to decide whether to withdraw and re send. Will withdrawing now raise a red flag? And applying immediately after marrying - will that raise a red flag...

Also, will CIC send all our documents back after they make a decision, including police certificates?

I was thinking of applying under the Federal skilled workers visa. It has an average processing time of 2 months.

So, I have applied for a common law family class visa, however, although we did not have the same residence for one year went we sent the application. We had been cohabiting but, just staying at each others addresses. The apartments were linked to our employment contract and we couldn't arrange...

We have sent two declarations to CIC, but they were not notarized. It has been difficult as we live in Japan, and English is not commonly spoken here. Also, a common law declaration has to be notarized. As we havent been able to send these, it probably means our application will be rejected...

Thanks for your advice. It's most probably what I will do. My only concern is whether it'll cause a red flag to indicate I am trying to "move" to Canada illegally.

I want to give more evidence of our common law relationship. Do letters from friends need to be notarized/ apostilled/ signed by a commissioner of oaths?
