Thank you so much! I was really having a breakdown over here lol I feel a lot better now knowing a lot of my worries are just in my head and I'm overwhelming myself. Another worry I have is family. I also don't have much family and neither does my spouse. He only has his kids and ex-wife. No...

Thank you! you've really helped put my mind at ease!

Thank you! My relationship with my boyfriend largely developed online as well. We were in a LDR for two years before I finally moved in with him in Oct. 2013. We haven't gotten married as I'm not quite ready for that yet, but we have ample amounts of proof for how genuine our relationship is...

Just curious what are the chances of an interview being requested? Is an interview requested when you don't have a lot of "legal" proof? Such as joint etc... Also, would my boyfriend have to come with me to the interview location? What if he can't travel... how could we go about this? What are...

Yes. In this case screenshots from an app we used called Couple to communicate. I made a cover sheet with a brief note on the cover sheet explaining the context of the conversation. For example. My spouse and I had a brief conversation about an upcoming Bill Maher performance. We talked about...

Are we supposed to include our name/question even on screenshots? When asked to provide a separate sheet of paper for more room, it's mentioned that each additional paper must include the name of the applicant, the question number and the title. Do I really have to upload all my screenshots...

Thank you soooo much! I just screen shot your response so I can go back to it and use the information shared :)

Thank you! I'll be sure to use what you quoted! I just figured it makes more sense to do it all on a separate sheet versus typing up as much as I can provided in the 5 lines and then telling them to continue onto the additional sheets. We are common law. Have been officially since October 2014...

Hi! Just a quick question and I do apologize if it sounds silly. So I'm currently attempting to fill out some information on my Outland application. For the question number 9 in "Development of your relationship" do I bother at all to type in the 5 lines provided? or can I just type out...

Thank you for responding! it's really reassuring when someone is in a similar situation and comes out successful. I will look at your older postings for sure. Can I ask why your husband didn't renew his status before applying? I'm still on the fence about the whole thing "better safe than sorry"...

I'm sending all my positive vibes your way! I really hope things go through for you! I'm sure if you've provided ample proof of your relationship and the fact that you also have a Canadian child, you might be OK! can I ask you a question? In the questionnaire it says you can provide identity...

What if... I choose to stay in Canada and file my application anyway... knowing I'm out of status but still doing it anyway. Is there anyway of a government official knowing or not knowing I applied for an extension? On the application I can very well say my last time entering Canada was in May...

Wow! 4 years! and I thought I was being risky! LOL! How do you manage your time here? Do you work? volunteer? that's partly WHY I'm so determined to get this application sent off. I'm so tired of not being able to work. My spouse has been very supportive through all of this.

I did know at the time! however I was under the impression that I only had an extended 30 days after overystaying to apply - not a full blown 3 months! *cries* Do I have a say in where my application will be sent? Because I live in Ottawa will it be processed here in Ottawa?

Correct. This is my second time overstaying. The first time I overstayed was by a month. I went back home April 28th 2014 and returned May 05th 2014. I have not re-entered Canada since May 05th 2014. The first time I overstayed was only by a month and I was petrified by the thought of not being...

The plan is definitely to apply Outland! I can't see a valid reason as to why any American would apply inland. We're still gathering all our proof to prove we've been in a common law relationship and once we have sufficient evidence we will be sending off our application. The goal is to have it...

I'm currently out of status. I have been for a few months now. I was planning on returning home for a few days and then coming back to Ottawa before we submit our application just so that I'm in good standing and have status. My fear is being refused entry back into Canada.

Hey everyone! So I'm currently gathering all my documents together for my Canadian spouse to sponsor me. We're looking to send our application off before the end of summer. I'm originally from the West Coast in the U.S and he is from Ontario. I'm currently looking over the documents checklist...

Thank you so much!!!! I completely forgot I had proof of me talking to friends about my relationship with him and living together! I will definitely dig through my old Facebook messages and will print them out! thank you thank you thank you! I also thought to include our exchanges right before...

OK - so I'm going to have his two sons and EX wife have letters notarized. My question now is: Can I email them a transcript and have them print it out and then notarized? Or would they have to type up the letter themselves? Also, would you suggest the letter(s) to be long? I know I can have his...
