I got my PR card last year (March 2017) and when I had the interview with the immigration officer I was told I need to spend in Canada 3 years out of 5 if I want to be able to renew my PR. On the government website it says it's 2 years out of 5. Which one is correct please? Also, is it true...

Today I got a letter from the government stating "We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada Immigration Centre in Vancouver will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application". The...

Thank you. In my PR application I stated I would keep CIC informed of any change to my status. Can you please confirm you are 100% sure I don't need to let them know if I get pregnant?

Hi, I applied for Permanent Resident in October 2015 from inside Canada. I live in BC with my commow law partner who is sponsoring me. By June 2016 I had done my medical test and my sponsor had been approved, then I haven't heard anything else from CIC regarding my PR. I did get a work permit...

Applied inland. We live in a small community in BC. I don't think I'm allowed to work, in my application I stated I'm not working.

I am an Italian citizen in a common law relationship with a Canadian born citizen. We live in Canada and six weeks ago I sent my application for PR.

I am an Italian citizen in a common law relationship with a Canadian citizen. We live in BC and I sent an application for a PR inland. I am waiting for my PR to be approved and it will take 8 months or more until I get it, then, if I understand correctly, I will be able to ask for a medical...

Thank you very much everyone.

Thank you. What would happen if I submit an inland application and then leave the country for a few weeks while I wait for a response? If I went to visit my family for a month around Christmas, for example? Would I be allowed to entry Canada?

I'm an italian citizen applying for a common law visa. My canadian boyfriend will offer to be my sponsor and next week the lawyer who is helping me with my application will send all the documents required. Since I started gathering the documents, two months ago, I told my lawyer that I need to...

Thank you so much everyone.

Thank you. The link you posted says I have 90 days to apply, except if I am a visitor. If my visa has not been processed yet and I entered Canada with a 6 months visitor visa, am I technically allowed to drive for 6 months with my italian driver licence? Thank you.

I am an Italian citizen living in BC, currently waiting for my common law visa papers to be approved. I have an Italian driver licence and I have been driving in Canada with an International driver permit obtained in Italy. Such permit is now expired and I will not go back to Italy for a year or...

Hello, I am working on getting my documents ready for a common law visa and I need your help please. I am an Italian citizen, presently staying in Canada, who will be sponsored by my boyfriend who is a Canadian citizen, born here. 1) Police check. I got a printed scan of my police check from...

Thank you so much, I followed your advice and I'm preparing the documents to apply for a common law visa. I will post in that section of the forum from now on. @Garry: sorry I don't know how to help you, maybe you should start a new post specifying where your brother is from and how long he...

Thank you so much for your reply, Aquakitty. When you speak of PR you mean Permanent Resident? I don't think I qualify for any type of visa, as I do not intend to word and my boyfriend is not wealthy. Would you be so kind to send me the link to some good article on the forum where I can read...

I am an Italian citizen with a Canadian partner. Since I met my boyfriend in 2011, I have been coming to Canada as a visitor more than five times, spending more and more time in Canada, yet always leaving before the 6 months expiry date of my visa. I never had problems coming into the country...

Bless you for this awesome post. I'm starting the application for permanent resident in BC. I'm from Italy, my partner is from BC. I'm trying to determine my eligibility through the cic website. If I choose the option "I'm currently residing in Canada" it says I'm eligible. If I choose the...

Would you be able to tell me what does my boyfriend need to do in order to sponsor me? As in what documents he needs to provide, how can we prove that we've been living together, or maybe records or employment or income? Thank you for your great help!

Thank you for your thorough reply. I have been trying to browse the Canadian Immigration website to find a better visa that would allow me to stay in Canada as a long term visitor but it seems that either I work or I can't stay. Is that correct? As an Italian citizen willing to spend the next...
