Ahhhh so it's ok to "scan" photos onto a word doc? I wasn't sure if that was allowed or if we had to do 5 x 7 photos with the description on the back. So much easier if we don't have to use photos!!! Thx!!

Hey guys - just a wee question on photos.... I've read some post about people getting the photos wrong and comments about not stapling, not gluing etc etc. What is the best way to do the photos - have them loose with a bulldog clip? Glue them onto a page with a description on the bottom as...

Rock on MandiF - have a fab flight and make sure to toast your new life well!!! :D

Hi KarenCee - not sure if this has been answered by anybody else but this is my understanding: The photos and family member info is for those members of your family who will be accompanying you or those you might want to sponsor in the future. In this case it doesn't sound like its an issue or...

Brit - we're doing something similar but we're common-law and applying outland as it is much faster in London that Canada! When you go into Canada, you can stay for 6 months....my boyfriend is taking his car insurance (SORN) docs as well as bills and a return flight to prove that he intends to...

We did the same thing....first set of tabs was immigrants forms and any docs relating to them. Second set was sponsors forms and any docs relating to them. After that we had a bunch of tabs with our supporting docs; emails, travel tickets, photos etc.

Hey LV - it's gotta be tougher doing it your way than ours - we're moving back in the beginning of March and I already have a job. Because we know when we're going I've been able to set up a bank account, get a gym membership, call my old Doctor to tell her I'm coming back and most importantly...

Mandi - Fantastic timeline!! My boyfriend and I are just about to head out to print off all forms that need changing and then we're ready to file! I hope ours goes as quickly as yours as we're going traveling for 5 weeks and then land in Vancouver early March. My fellah is only going in for...

My boyfriend and I were both employed full time five months ago when we started this and our jobs involved long hours with many corporate nights out and not much free time at home together so lawyers were handy. We would try and get as much done on the weekends as we could and would fire it off...

Fleo - I know exactly where you're coming from. That's one of the reasons that I just want to get it done and filed today! We've been at it for five months....(but the last couple have really been waiting fr the new year to roll around so we can file) but you can't just let it sit! Almost...

RSM - Using a lawyer is personal choice.....there's so much information on this site as well as in the booklets that you might not need one. However, the risk of getting something wrong and getting your application rejected may warrant you paying a couple hundred for somebody to review it...

Fleo - we're hoping to send ours on at the beginning of next week as well. Which office are you going through? Will be interesting to see how our timelines compare :)

Thanks for the answer....very confusing. I wasn't sure if they would have just rejected the common-law application and told us to apply as a married couple which would have put us at the bottom of the pile and we'd have to start all over again? If it's simply a matter of us sending the...

Congrats to those of you who got PPR this week!!! Hoping to file next week and reading your positive stories keeps me going whenever I get annoyed or frustrated! Thanks!

I'm taking a whole 2-bedroom apartment with me so have to do the container thing....bit annoying as it could take up to 15 weeks!!!!

Hey guys - hopefully somebody can help me out here (I'm sure I'll be inundated with uber helpful advice even if it's not what I want to hear). We're all set to file under family class, common-law but got engaged a week ago.... My fellah was hoping we could tie the knot in August. I'm a bit...

Well done Vish - update your profile with your dates so we can take a sneaky peek at how you're progressing! I was hoping to get everything off this week but it looks as though it might end up being Monday or Tuesday next week....oh well a couple of days isn't bad when you think about it...

mmhughes - I often wonder what they do with all of the stuff too.....it does say somewhere that you shouldn't send in anything that you don't need/want back as you won't get it. Who knows.... Fingers crossed we'll send this all of my Monday next week. Four months and several tense moments...

Hey all - just a quickie....on the Sponsor Questionnaire....at the very end it says "on a separate sheet of paper, provide any additional details of your current relationship that you believe would help to prove your relationship is genuine and continuing". We've got LOADS of backup...

@ nncs - that is absolutely awesome news. Congratulations!!! Must have been one of the best days EVER!! :D
