    Spousal sponsorship

    I just listed my university address for the years I was there, even though I lived at my parents place during the summer. Can;t say if thats the official way to do it but they didn't throw out my application because of it so it seemed to work! In fact I couldn't give the full postal address of...

    Where are you going, or where are you?

    My wifes former husband (& father of my step-kids) is from Nelson. I've only heard good things about it. I hope to visit one day :) No idea if you'd have heard of his brother but he's the pro skateboarder Keegan Sauder.

    Relationship photographic proof

    Kids are a good way of showing the passing of time during your relationship. My wife has 2 children from her previous marriage so we included plenty of photos of myself with them from varying times over the last 3 years. The youngest was actually still in diapers on my first visit to Canada &...

    Photo labelling and printing - my two pence :)

    we used the old fashioned actual photo prints with details written on the back. We didn't even think of trying any other way! Despite me including other pictures for the evidence (such as screen caps of emails) within my Open Office documents. Thats another good suggstion of a program to use if...

    One Piece of Advice

    I'm with you on that one. Both my wife & I can get fairly stressed out when dealing with "official" paperwork & as a result I finally got my visa at least 9 months later than I could have done! Thats 9 months more spent apart where we could have been together :'( I would also say don't be...

    Landing Papers

    I can't answer your question as I'm just going through the process of making up my list of possesions I'm bringing with me myself. I'm not taking too much of high value, just my laptop & my bike but the smaller things are kinda confusing me as to how I should list them. I was thinking it maybe...

    Visiting from visa-exempt country while app in progress - my experience

    I had no problems at all when I visited my wife this last christmas, by that point she'd already been approved as my sponsor & the file had been passed to London. I had copies of all my documentiation with me just in case but I was actually waved through by the IO the fastest of all my visits on...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Ahhh I guess that would make sense! I thought maybe the IO in charge of my application was computer illiterate or something ;)

    Where are you going, or where are you?

    I'll be living in Sooke a small town just outside of Victoria. Close enough to the city to commute but far enough away so I don't have to put up with all the people ;) i'm really not a city person at all, give me forests & hills & nature any day ;D

    If you get approved for PR, do you think you'll apply for citizenship?

    I'll be taking dual citizenship for sure. As of now I plan on spending the rest of my life living in Canada so it just makes perfect sense to apply as soon as I'm able. If I'm going to live somewhere I want to be fully involved & commited to the society I'm becoming part of. I don't believe I...

    visit during processing application

    I visted my wife in Canada while the process was underway & had no problems. I simply stated we were going through the outland process (& had copies of the comfirmation letter of her as a sponsor, just in case, though the guy barely glanced at them!) when I entered Canada. It was actually the...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    I can't believe I finally found this forum after I've already negotiated (with much anxiety & stress) the entire application process & just 2 weeks before I fly out to Canada with my PR Visa in hand :P I'm sure if I'd found it sooner some of those stresses would have been lessened for sure! As...
