Everything went swimmingly getting my passport stamped, and I'm proud to say that on Feb 21st, I landed in Canada! You guys have been so helpful in this effort, I love you all. :-*

Well I'm not that close to the border, not where it'd be cheaper than paying Fedex. :D I wonder though, will they know how to do this if I prepare the prepaid envelope here in Canada but expect it to work sending from the US? They make it sound so intimidating with all their footnotes and...

Supporting the marry in Canada! I (American) married my Canadian wife at the beginning of last year (after a long record of our relationship, lol) and just got my passport summons. There won't be any problem. I would check though what you may need to adjust or add to in regards to proof of...

150 is way too many! I sent I think 6, spanning about 8 years of time, and one of them was to prove we had matching tattoos. (Because we don't have wedding rings.) ;D Unless the relationship is younger than a year or two, I'd say just one picture for every year you've been together. I did the...

Huh! Maybe because mine's processed in LA instead, but my e-mail was VERY clear about it needing to be a valid, original passport, with one blank page. Perhaps they're doing things different in Buffalo now?

Wowie, replies already! 8) I called Buffalo because the Los Angeles line says don't ask about the PR applications, even if it's at LA right now. The other thread led to a link that actually has different information than what was e-mailed to me! I was instructed to mail my passport to Los...

Hi there! You guys have been so amazing in the past, and I'm just one inch away from this being final! I got my passport request from Los Angeles for permanent resident through spousal sponsorship. I applied as an outland applicant to Buffalo, but they moved it from there due to extended...

Today I got the e-mail from Los Angeles asking for my passport! :D Question, if anyone knows. I'm actually in Canada at the moment and had planned to stay here for another couple months. Can I get my passport stamped and stay in Canada, then just drive down to the border to land?

Congrats on all the good news so far! I just got an e-mail today saying my application is being sent to the consulate in Los Angeles. And to not ask about the status for 90 days--does it really take that long for LS to get it? :( I guess the US must be backed up pretty bad.

So I've been checking my e-mail maniacally and freaking out because people got ahead of me. Turns out they sent the e-mail to my sponsor--approved October 27th! 8)

:crossed fingers: If they're being so quick about it, I have a problem!! There's a decent chance I may be IN Canada when they ask for my passport, though I'm an outland applicant. (I vacation here under dual intent.) What happens in that case? Can I have them stamp my passport and return it to...

This is heroic! And now I'm psyched--did pretty much exactly what you did, except for the medicals were done last. Let's see how things go for me... Congrats!! :)

Ooo, so excited to be on the list! But I sent my app on the 15th, according to Canada Post it was signed for at Mississauga on the 17th! Wish all the bars would fill that fast... :D

Another August application checking in! Outland spousal sponsorship landed at Mississauga this morning! (Even though I paid for next day on Monday...I guess lesson 1 in Canada Post: Don't trust Canada Post?) Relaxed for a few hours, now I'm just nervous waiting for news! Too soon! :) Oh yeah...

Actually, I just found this: "Lawyers, students-at-law, police officers, judges, full-time commissioned officers of the Canadian Forces, members of the Legislative Assembly, members of a municipal council, members of a board of trustees of a school district or division in Alberta, and justices...

Hi there! I'm currently spazzing out, maybe you guys can help me! I'm applying outland from the US to be sponsored by my spouse. Who just remembered that a looong time ago, her boyfriend filed them as common law. It was never officially annulled, and I see you can make a declaration and get it...

Awesome!!! I was so worried I’d end up with all my police certs not matching up in time. I’ve spent at least 8 or 9 months in Canada, but in broken up periods of a couple months here and there, and always in the same province (Alberta). I kinda figured it was odd they’d ask for a police check...

I haven't found much information on this anywhere, even the site says 'Only in some cases.' I'm pulling together the police records for my app as an outland sponsored spouse, and it just occurred to me I've spent more than 6 months (in broken periods) in Canada, so I need their clearance...

Wow, I signed up to ask exactly this question! I'm also applying outland and live in Florida, near had a heart attack when I found out how much the DMP down here wanted. Anyone know anything that cheap in Edmonton or Calgary?
