I came to Canada to live with my sponsor last fall and we plan on applying under common-law in September 2013. I am going back to Germany for a 2 weeks holiday this summer. Will our relation-ship still be regarded as "common-law" even if the first year of living together is interrupted for those...

What are the specifications for the photos that I need to bring to the medical examination? Same as for the visa application? Also, can anyone give recommendations for translators in the Montréal or Sherbrooke area? I need to have my birth certificate translated from German to English. Thanks!

Thanks for the information provided, very helpful!

We will apply under common-law in September this year, which is when our 12 months of living together will be completed. So I still have lots of time to complete the forms, however, I do want to be prepared and gather useful information today. I am the organized type of person that panics when...

All clear now, thanks a lot!

Quick question regarding proof of income that someone around here can answer maybe, hopefully... In the checklist in the section "Proof of income for sponsor" it says "This section applies only to sponsors who are not residents of Québec" - so what is the deal for residents of Québec? They do...

I am German but lived in the US for a while, which is why I need to obtain a police certificate from the FBI. I currently reside in Québec with my sponsor. Does anyone know if I can go to any police station in Québec to have fingerprints done? Thanks!

Sorry, I have another question. I currently reside in Canada (Québec) - can I have those fingerprints done here anywhere? If so, where? Do police stations offer this service? Thanks.

Oh boy, I need fingerprints for the FBI...sounds complicated. But I guess I won´t have a choice... Anyway, thanks for the quick reply, very helpful!

From what I understand the sponsored person needs to provide police certificates for each country other than Canada, in which he/she has lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18. I also found an "Appendix A: Request for Police Certificates" on the website which...

Oh, that´s neat. Maybe we could even meet up sometime, who knows. It´s nice to hear other people´s stories who "sit in the same boat". Guess one of the few advantages of being out of work is you have lots of time. So I do plan on going into more detail soon but to start with it was important...

We live close to Sherbrooke. I looked again at the form IMM5710 and also the guide but there is no clear indication that the employment section can be left blank. I guess I will have many more questions and doubts once I actually start completing all these forms... Good luck to you and thanks...

Hi sbea, thanks a lot for sharing your story and the information provided. My main problem really is that I cannot send the application for extending my current visa and the PR application at the same time because I have to make sure my current visa is extended or renewed in some way at least...

Thank you QuebecOkie for your input, very interesting! Anyone else out there who could contribute to answering my questions?

Hi all, I am a German citizen and live in Québec with my boy-friend, who will sponsor me. I currently hold a working holiday visa valid until September 2013, which is when we will have lived together for one year. I have various questions on the visa application process, concerning both CIC and...
