That's awesome! Congratulations! Don't forget to update the spreadsheet! When are you planning to land?

Yes, I believe you just have to live together for a year to get common law status, but if you're married you just have to prove the genuineness of your relationship and that you'll live together in Canada when the application is approved, but you don't have to live together. As a PR yourself...

You must put your complete and accurate travel history, including all the countries you've lived in. If you do not this, it is considered misrepresentation which is fraud and a crime and if they find out, your application will definitely be denied and there can also be other more drastic...

Its great to see another BC IP! We're hoping ours will change to IP late this month or early next month as we're about a month behind you! I'm still checking MyCIC everyday! Lol But I never really have hope that anything has changed, I just want to check incase it has. I'm not sure if you can...

Oh. I see. That's too bad!

Why don't you just do your medicals and send them instead of waiting for a request? Isn't it faster? Also, if they're asking about your medicals I'd take that to mean they're going to be looking at them soon, so I'd do them now instead of waiting any longer! I was able to get my notice of...

Yes, you can get your PR, then visit your boyfriend in his country to get married, but then I believe you have to return to Canada because PRs must be living in Canada during the sponsorship process. About one more year of long distance and then you can live together in Canada! Try not to be...

Did you get a response acknowledging receipt when you submitted these things the first time? If yes I'd resubmit all this information plus something showing you already submitted it once before. Make sure you keep evidence that you've submitted this! Screenshots, receipts, email, whatever you...

I think you must have received the letter because of the return date you put. I was able to write ASAP in the place where they asked for a specific date and then explained that I was returning with my husband when he is approved in the letter I attached with my proof of intent to return. If I...

Just make sure the non-Canadians have return flights so they can prove their dual intent - if you buy the flights separately it's easier to get a larger refund if you don't end up using it. The non-Canadians won't be able to bring all their belongings with them, just what you'd take for a...

Hey everyone! I read in the October thread that Ligia's background check has changed to "in progress"! It's got me wondering how long the BC usually takes and about how long to PPR after that. Anyone know? I just love seeing progress, even if it's with other people's applications! It makes the...

If you already have the flight tickets (I assume you do since you already know when you depart Australia), you can submit those as the sponsor's proof of intention to return to Canada as well.

The total to sponsor my husband was $1040 (spousal sponsorship fee, primary applicant fee, and right of permanent residence fee). Look here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp

I don't think it's a problem as long as you're inside Canada for required amount of time during a 5 year period. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=727&top=4

I also only attached things once to whichever form they required them most. If they were also relevant to another section/form I wrote a brief note to see the the item attached to form X.

Not that I know of.

Are you a November applicant? You should add your info to the spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CUkTFpwDRvX3vg4FwEoQ4bjyo1ux2qpjLusu08y2gnc/edit#gid=992511551 :) K

For some VOs this is normal. Our's hasn't changes since the beginning of December and we don't expect it to for a few more months. If it doesn't change for us when we expect we'll request the notes. What's your visa office? When did you get SA? I couldn't find you on the spreadsheet. :) K

Welcome! If you're applying with the new process that was released in December that might be correct... I'm not sure. Most, if not all of us here, applied outland with the old process where the sponsor's eligibility is determined in Canada before the application is sent to the visa office that...

Congrats T4m1! That's awesome news! Do you know when you plan to land yet?
