You could apply for a BOWP but again, you wouldnt be able to work until the visa arrived which can take 5 months

Yeah a few people on the facebook groups have said they did it but the legality has been shared on there, I'll try find the link for you. Like I said, you could keep working if your employer allows it but if CIC find out they will cancel your PR application. This has happened. I can't even try...

Have you not had anything since the application was recieved? Like sponsor approval on your side or medical/police check requests?

The advice I've always been given is not to leave during an inland application because if they DO deny you then it voids everything and you have to start again... However, as British citizens they would be unlikely not to let you in because we're visa exempt. Depends on the border agent. Take...

No you CANNOT work once your IEC expires. The IEC is the only visa that CANNOT go into implied status. You need to apply to extend your stay as a visitor so that you don't lose status. Once the IEC visa expires you'll be on implied status as a visitor so cannot work until the OWP comes through...

It's currently taking 2-5 months to get OWP

I believe he had to go to Vienna for an interview if I'm not mistaken.

Marriage relatives?! my wife has an extremely large family I was just going to put blood relatives since I have quite a few in canada

Spouse is part of that list so you do not meet that criteria since the spouse is a permanent resident. The bullet pointed family members are just those family members AS WELL as spouse

I was going to just put down all the Canadian citizens who currently reside in canada...

I've not sent mine yet but as far as I'm aware they prompt you to like the OWP to your application. You need to make a mycic account but if you're on an IEC or work permit you should already have one from when you applied for that

You send them together. There is a box on the PR application to tick whether you are applying for the OWP as well. You can apply on implied status because it in itself is legal status. You said earlier you applied for your extension as a visitor AFTER your IEC expired? That may cause.an issue...

I'm not knowledgeable on the legal aspects for those who aren't fluent in English or French but it would need to be official. I'd talk to a lawyer about that... you can get consultations for $100 or sometimes free just for advice. My educated guess would be that a lawyer has to witness the...

If you arrived in June what did you extend to a year visitor visa from? Also they'll want to know whenow you met and evidence of the relationship before coming to Canada (unless you only met after last june)... his mother could write the letter in Chinese and have it officially translated and...

His mother's letter would be proof of cohabitation and account for lack of bills... just get your name added to his account if you already use it for everything and print off his statements showing purchases neccessary for you e.g. food, clothing

If his mother will write a letter showing you've lived together for over a year you can apply common law before marriage

I'm the PA and I have an aunt and 2 cousins who are Canadian citizens. Between the cousins they have 7 children so do I include them as well? Half of them now live in the states but maintain dual citizenship as canadian/American. Also, one of my cousins children is Transgender and is currently...

I was going to stick to family members since there isn't even enough space for all of our combined immediate family. My issue is do we combine parents to fit more people on or just end up with 4 parents and pick a sibling?

Are there any posts right now on how to put the whole application together? I saw a really good one for the old system with a contents page but that was when everyone was sending a huge amount of evidence. The new application pack specifically states to only send the documents asked for and...

Thanks that's what I thought... we are just waiting for the marriage certificate to arrive then sending off the PR and OWP. I just got a little freaked since the certificate may not arrive before my IEC runs out so I was banking on the implied status
