From what you have said, you applied to extend at least 30 days before you were due to leave. Did you apply online or by post? If by post, did you get proof of delivery? Yes, you have implied status. Processing at the moment is 87 days. The general information is here - but you will have read...

I am a Brit and had my medical in Canada, you should have no problem.

I think boarding passes are about the only easy way to prove "exit" from Canada, but like you said difficult to organise. Of course the other issue with travel and PR applications is the CIC request for you to provide details of all your travel over the last ten years. I travel a lot, and...

I would not plan on paying a security deposit.

Of course there is the issue of - how does Canada know you have actually left the country? When I leave to go to the UK, there will be no physical check of my details, but I hope that someone at the airline will send the details to confirm I have left..... or do they?

I don't want to sound negative, but I think we all know that the current system is geared towards discretionary judgements. Expecting CIC or the government to relinquish this "tool" is not that likely. That said, the bond idea does initially sound good, however, doesn't that discriminate on...

But you cannot "move", you have to be a visitor.

You could save the cost of a U-haul and buy some furniture at a local thrift store.

If it sounds too good to be true.......... It usually is too good to be true. [Scam alert]

Personally, I would put the application together without an immigration consultant. Some people have a complex situation to describe, in that case maybe it is better to use an immigration lawyer. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-fraud.asp

Not seen what you describe, but processing times are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp Or you could go look on http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers

I am from a visa exempt country, when my visa extension was approved all that happened was a visitor record arrived in the mail. I did not send my passport away.

I understand that for outland spousal PR, you do the police check before the application and the certificate (check) should be included with your application.

My IQ test was, I took five pictures to the DMP, but they only wanted four? I also had a conversation with the DMP about this forum, it didn't impact my medical :D

I believe you have an answer elsewhere. 1) Yes you can apply, send it immediately. 2) You can send the PR application when you have all the required documents, you do not have to wait.

@ comingtocanada - General information - In my case it took 55 days to get an extension approved. I got the three months that I asked for. Well, that was the gap between the arrival of my documents at Vegreville and the start date on my new VR. The letter containing the VR took about another...

Federal officials have quoted a questionable source in bids to kick foreigners out of Canada – Wikipedia. And judges are not amused. An interesting read. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/judges-rap-wiki-evidence-in-immigration-cases/article1542565/

Sorry to hear the bad news. Can I ask, what were you doing in Canada, just visiting ? Are you applying for spousal PR? You say "on visitors visa for some time with on going extensions", how long have you been here?

When you send it, make sure the package is tracked and signed for.

I am not sure on this for immigration, but any time that I deal with officials in Quebec, I have had the opportunity to use English or French.
