    In Canada Spousal Sponsorship

    Yes lots of people have applied Inland. It sounds like you have been waiting a LOT longer than usual. We applied inland in Oct 2012 and have already gotten PR.

    Married in Canada, TRV Extension, Inland Application

    This was very good advice. If you get married and THEN try to get a TRV they usually won't give it to you. Yes definitely. That is is a perfectly valid and commonly accepted reason for extending a TRV. I dont think you will have any issues. As stated by Ponga, try to put your OWP app in with...

    Outland Spousal Sponsor: Funds and Intent to Resettle

    There is no "minimum income" required. But that does not mean they don't want to see proof of your income. Everyone has to send in an option C and other documents. I guess they just want to make sure you are not planning to go on welfare. Also, you need to be prepared to move when the PR is...

    Need advice

    He may run into problems crossing the border daily. "Owning" a house doesn't matter, its "residing" in Canada that is the issue. He needs to keep a residence in the USA Yes you can move stuff, but you should probably wait until the PR is complete before you move everything because he faces...

    Can a person without status in Canada submit an Outland application?

    I dont see what the big deal is? its completey trivial for an american to keep their status. if they lose status is probably because they dont know the rules and make a mistake.

    Can a person without status in Canada submit an Outland application?

    By doing that they have created a injustice in the system, again directed at inland applicants (as all the inland vs outland injustices are). Inland applicants have to use a form that requires them to give up their right to appeal. Outland applicants dont have the same requirement, even if they...

    Can a person without status in Canada submit an Outland application?

    You dont need a visa to apply outland because you arent supposed to be in canada in the first place. Talking about valid visas on the outland app would likely just confuse a bunch of people. As for your question why would anyone apply inland: because not everyone is an american, and inland is...

    Civil marriage on a tourist visa.

    You can have as many ceremonies as you want. But you can only have one marriage certificate. It doesn't matter which country it is from, CIC accepts anything. As for the ceremonies, you can send pictures of them to CIC with your application, especially showing the various relatives who attended.

    Out of Status in Canada. Urgent Advice Needed.

    Since you aren't married it could indeed be a very real problem. Not all "3rd world countries" even acknowledge "common-law" relationships. And some countries are extremely strict. If you are going some place like Dubai, you will need to be married to go with her, or even be allow to hold her...

    Chinese wife Canadian ESL teacher husband. Really want to go home!

    I guess it doesn't hurt. But i think this trend of sending in a shoebox of a million photos is kind of ridiculous. If you take a trip to the great wall of china, then sure, include a pic of you and your wife at the wall. But i dont see why CIC needs 20 shots from every different angle and every...

    Bad news for TFW under food service processing their LMO

    Kenney is in a tough spot, he wants to keep the program without making any changes, so he will try to stall and make some minor superficial changes, like changing the name. But even meaningless changes like that in the government takes forever. Keep this in mind, for example, my wife got her...

    Marry or Common Law

    This sounds more like a roommate arrangement to me. Why would your commonlaw partner "owe" you money? Are your finances separate or are they together? You say you have a joint bank account, but clearly you aren't using it. Probably not a big deal but I thought I wouldn't point that out as it...
