Thanks Charlie D. I was worried becasue I in the application I had to prove my intent to return to Canada and am 'responsible' for him. They obviously are trying to avoid having the PR immigrate to Canada while the sponsor continues to live abroad. Hence the question about him being able to...

Thats fantastic! We picked ours up on Monday (and they gave us back all the photos/cards/letters)! I was really impressed. You must be so excited for your landing. We're just starting to think about packing up here and hoping to land around August! I'm daunted by the amount of stuff to do and we...

Hi All, I have a quick questions I hope someone can help me with. My partner (who has received his Visa) and I are currently living together abroad and were originally planning on returning to Canada (together) in August. However, my partner has a potential job offer that begins before my...

Our medical was also like yours just a piece of paper (white and green) - very thin paper, like the carbon copy kind, with the photos stuck on it - no heavy envelope. As for the docs - I think the sealed part is more to protect the applicants personal info in the postal system. I don't think...

Hi All. I posted this in the settlement section as well (but am partial to the family class thread) so apologies on the double posting. We are planning on returning to Canada in August so my partner can complete his landing. We have both been living in Israel for the last 3 years so both...

Hi All, We (my fiance and I) are planning our landing in August - I am a Canadian citizen and have lived abroad for over 3 years and he is a new PR. So we both have goods to follow. We are trying to avoid shipping our stuff and have decided to leave the big stuff behind. However, I would like...

Wow fantstic news AKGAZ! And also to dishy_max who started the thread (sorry i didn't congratulate you earlier I was a little caught up in the excitment of our receiving our PPR). I can totally relate to the tears - I was in tears reading the letter, and then again on the phone when I called...

It looks to my eye by your signature that you already sent the package... In which case I wouldn't stress about it. The only benifit of having a joint account (and doing it now) is if they call you up for an interview. That way you can show that while you were waiting for them you moved forward...

We just got our PPR letter in the email!!! Yeah! Two quick questions: Firstly- the vaild date mentioned on the letter has no realtionship to the one year mark of the medical exam. It says "Your Visa will be valid for travel to Canada until Dec 2012"? Has anyone else seen this? Is this the...

I'm not an expert but I don't think it matters. However I would suggest you put everything under your name. If there is stuff under your hudbands name, and he's a Canadian citizen he has to prove that he was residing outside of Canada or that he has not been back to Canada in over a year in...

I think you have to put the first date - if you put the second date then you can't apply until after July 20th 2011. Unless of course the plan is to only apply after July 20th in which case I would still put the first date (it was only 7 weeks apart and as you said you intended to live together...

Thank you! We haven't planned a date yet - still enjoying the new status! We're thinking summer 2012 - as I am sure many of you will know from experience lots of logistics involved when the family and friends are in 2 seperate places.

Wow - amazing news to everyone - so many updates! I should go away more often! Still no PPR request from our end although the Tel Aviv VO was closed for quite a while with both Easter and Passover. (And I am sure we are going to be a while anyway with the background checks - 4 years of Military...

Our 3 month application anniversary is today - and since we haven't heard anything yet we've decided to go on vacation!! J/K - the vacation was already planned - hopefully when we get back (after not checking our email compulsively for 10 days) we will have a lovely little surprise. Here's to...

@ben_f_uk i'm also interested to hear what you find out about this. My understanding is that she can't stay in the UK when you land. So either she needs to return first, or you both 'land' together - should would be a returning resident and you would be landing but then you can both turn...

I'm also going to weigh in on this as it doesn't really seem to bother me. If they want to apply for PR they have to do it at some point, they either do it now, and don't move for a few years, or they do it later when they are ready to move. It doesn't really make a different to the system. They...

I have what is most likely a very silly question. When the VOs send a letter requesting missing documents (such as police clearance, medical results, birth certificates, statutory declaration of common-law relationship, travel history since the age of 18...) will they request all the missing...

I agree with Leon and others. You don't really want to be living outside of Canada - it's just one more thing you have to worry about and prove in your application. I have been living with my partner 'exclusively' outside of Canada - I have my PR card from his country, we've been here for...

I'm going to address the original question. I'm currently living with my partner - outside of Canada - while his application is being processed. Firstly there is no requirement for time spent abroad before you sponsor him. The only issue is you must be a Canadian citizen - which you are so no...

And it also goes the other way around. Our said "medical received" and then they sent us an email saying they hadn't gotten a copy of the medicals - Go Figure. Then the "medical received" disappeared - it's still missing - even though we got an email from the VO saying that the medical...
