When the request for the passport comes, how long do you have to send it in? The issue we are facing is that we may be on a multi-month trip while we wait for approval and would potentially not be able to send the passport right away. Will this be a problem?

Thanks for your advice again! Sorry but another question. Just to be clear if we decide not to do the trip to Argentina and instead stay in Canada and go for change of status - does having a residency application in process (outside) make it harder for him to get his status changed from worker...

So you are suggesting we do not leave the country at all until the residency has been approved? We had hoped to visit Argentina for a 5-6 weeks then come back. To come back in he would have to enter on a new visitor visa that he can apply for in Buenos Aires. Is this too risky with an...

Thanks for the responses! No, he is not from a visa exempt country (Argentina). So my second question is this. We are thinking of going to Argentina for a visit this fall while the application is still in process. However we will want to be back in Canada for the winter and he will either...

Hello I'm excited to announce we just received 1st stage approval for our Outland Spousal application!! My question is this: My husband is currently in Canada on a valid work permit. This permit expires in December and we may not be able to renew it with the same company. If that is the case...

Re: Apply for an Open Work Permit while on a temporary one? -LAST QUESTION! OK thanks for that, then this hopefully my final question! If we apply OUTLAND and he is IN Canada on a Temporary Work Permit and that permit expires, can we have his status changed to TRV so that we can stay in Canada...

Thank-you for everyone's helpful advice. Considering the AIP will take 5-6 months would it make just as much sense to apply OUTLAND while he is working in Canada on a temporary work permit? His work permit cannot be extended past October with the same company because it is a seasonal operation...

Hello, I'm wondering if I have it right for how we are applying!? 1. My boyfriend will be in Canada on a temporary work permit. (Valid May-October) 2. We submit our INLAND application along with a request for an OPEN WORK PERMIT. (in May) 3. What next? How long will the open work permit take...

Thank-you Mitamata. How long is lengthy? I guess the only issue with re-applying is that we'd have to pay again. Also if we apply Outland and are denied, then he comes a visitor will that be a red flag?

What are the consequences should we apply as conjugal (outland) and get denied? Are we able to apply again later as spouse or will we have problems? Thanks!

Hello I would like to get some advice about the best way to proceed. 1. My husband arrives in Canada in February as a visitor. 2. In May (as long as it is approved like last year) he will have his status changed to a temporary worker valid until October. His work is seasonal and traditionally...

Hello, I'm wondering if it looks "bad" when someone enters Canada very often on various visas (3 x as student, 1 x visitor, 1 x temporary work permit)? I mean we are going to submit a residency application within the next year but he is going to try to come visit me in Canada again before...

Re: common-law with breaks? - the fees? Oh and my other question is about the fees. If we apply as conjugal and get rejected, will we lose our entire fee of $550? Also - would that cause problems for us if we were able to eventually qualify for common-law and applied again in that category?

Thanks for your feedback - I was pretty sure those breaks would be considered too long for common-law. Do you think the fact that we have so many short periods living together with breaks in between helps or impedes our case for conjugal? Some periods were in Canada and others in Argentina...

Hello, I have scoured this forum for an answer and I am having no luck. I know our case, like everyone elses is unique so please let me know if you can answer any of the questions for me! 1. My boyfriend (from Argentina) and I (Canadian Citizen) would like to apply as either common-law or...

I am a Canadian and my boyfriend is from Argentina. We are trying to figure out how to apply for his residency. We have been together over 2 years but have a few periods apart. In total we have lived together for 18 months but have also lived apart for 5 month, 3 month and 1 month periods...
