I normally don't like to comment on these types of posts but I read this and it worried me because you are young. Usually I am supportive of young love and letting people figure out things but... Sponsoring someone is a serious undertaking and you and your boyfriend are at two different life...

Congrats!! We waited six weeks after we submitted to get the passport back. Our situation required mailing. I suggest you submit it by drop off instead of mail as you will be able to pick it up after two weeks.

Hey guys, not to go off topic, but my husband is landing in two days. :D The process went quicker than I expected (and longer than what my husband expected), so I guess it's best to have the lowest of expectations when dealing with the government! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm excited and...

This is great advice. I'm excited to show my husband new things that he's never experienced before - I bet I'll be the same as your partner!

This is such good advice, especially the part about letting your partner make decisions. I have been cleaning and doing all sorts of things in preparation for my husband to get here and I'm now wondering if that is making him feel like he's a guest I'm cleaning the house for... I keep telling...

Thank you. I could never get a hang of the UKBA site. I kept ending up at this page: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/visiting/transit/visa/

Hi, Are Indian citizens exempt from applying for a transit visa for stopovers in the United Kingdom if they hold a Canadian PR entry visa? My husband is an Indian citizen and we are looking at flight options from India to Canada. The travel agency he is using has advised that he does not need...

Is it this page to which you're referring? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=177&t=17 A temporary resident permit is different from a temporary resident visa. A TRP is only issued for cases in which an applicant has a valid reason to be in Canada but would otherwise be...

It is not about "when" you should apply, but with what kind of proof you are submitting that shows that you are committed to residing in Canada and will not let your residency lapse. You can be jobless, but you need to show proof of how you intend to support your wife once she comes here as you...

Omg. I totally forgot about the first point. I am a total Internet junkie. My husband is into gadgets but doesn't get Internet humour. He likes toys and I like spending endless hours on forums (ahem). I think he and I need to discuss this because it will be the most immediate situation. Luckily...

Something else I thought about was the decision making process being different now. While apart, it's easier to commit to certain things because the other person isn't "really" affected (other than cost or scheduling) by things like me buying a new couch for my apartment. Now I have to remember...

Luckily my husband and I have no problem with honesty. What we really lack is tact, haha. Joking aside, I agree. We started our relationship with one hard rule of honesty because you don't want to be married to a stranger.

Thanks, Parker! That is great advice. We will definitely have to commit to talking. I think because the majority of our relationship has been conducted on Skype and phone calls where we have no choice but to talk, we may take for granted that we might have to put effort into talking now.

Hey everyone. I thought this would be the best place to ask this question, although it's not necessarily a question about the immigration process. My husband is landing soon. The entirety of our relationship has been long distance and we've been married for a year. We haven't had the adjustment...

Congrats and best of luck in your new start together, CJG!

Not wanting to tell the sponsor screams of fraud. I don't know the situation, but I hope your friend understands how that looks.

They may also deny an application early if the visa officer determines the principal applicant does not qualify as a member of the family class (e.g. marriage not legally recognized, married to someone else and not common law, etc.). I was reading about this situation on CanLii but I can't...

Quite a number of people get asked to send in new police certificates when their file has had a long processing time.

Does anyone know if PAFSO has ever gone on strike before?

A few people here have used his office, but I think it's fair to say the majority of posters here have not.
