Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure I should just send it in as is but I keep trying to find more things to prove that we're in a relationship. Our lawyers have said to be careful about sending off too much but I'd rather send off too much than not enough!

Alright, it's only 4th January but seeing as my boyfriend and I are planning to send our application off this week....I thought I'd start a thread for those filing in January 2011 (or hoping to). Hope everybody had a cracking Christmas and new years and good luck for all of the applications...

Hey mmhughes - yep my boyfriend is British. Our plan is to get round-the-world tickets and do SE Asia for a month and then move to Vancouver. He'll have a return ticket and is only asking for 5 months, not 6 as he's got to come back to England for a huge event. Am hoping we won't have any...

Thanks Mandi, So you think it's ok for my boyfriend to put in his "relationship essay" what he hopes to do when he gets permanent residency? It's just one little teeny tiny detail but I don't want it to mess up or slow down our application. Also, we're going to file this week but we're also...

Hey guys, Just a couple of questions..... I'm a Canadian (dual citizenship) and have been living in London for 5 years. My fellah and I have been together for almost 3.5 years and after months of trying to prove our relationship I think we're almost ready to file. The only area I'm a it...

Hey gang - well you might be removing my name from the November thread......not too bad though as I'll be in on the December thread :D My fellah and I have decided to get a bit more paperwork together and take our time to make sure it's right... So good luck to everybody filing in November...

Thanks everybody SOOO much! We've got a lot of good evidence but the lawyer we had review our forms had mentioned that they saw one prior to ours which got rejected but the couple was engaged which was a downfall as apparently they were told to re-apply as a married couple! After hearing...

Lol, great idea and I had thought of it myself....maybe I'll try that CIC hotline number and see what they say. Thanks! ;)

I'd be more than happy to but I'm just paranoid that they'd see the will was signed for example on 08 November and we apply on 15th? Would they not see that as doing it just for the sake of having stuff to send in? If it's not too suspicious, will go and do it right now.....just need to find a...

Thanks to everybody for their comments/thoughts. We have done our own essays (each of us) to describe our relationship from start to finish, we've got Affidavits done up saying why we can't provide certain documentation, we've got statutory declarations from my Mom, his Mom and four friends...

Thanks! I had thought about doing all that but was worried that they would see we had only done it a month before and think it was suspicious no?? Does it not matter it's only been a few weeks that we've had all this stuff? And did your app go through ok even though you didn't have more...

Hey all, Any help anybody can give me would be greatly, greatly appreciated on this subject! My boyfriend and I moved in together August 1st 2009. The townhouse we live in is owned by his incapacitated Grandmother and my boyfriend had not paid rent for the previous 4 years he lived there...

Thanks! I guessed at most of the others but was stumped with AOR. Am all over it now!

Hey all....relatively new to this (hoping to send forms off this week) and not familiar with the abbreviations. Can you guys let me know what AOR means as everybody seems to mention that one? Cheers, dish

Hey guys - I've been out of Canada for 5 years and I do have an Option C printout for 2007 (last year I filed) but it was only due to the sale of my apartment and shows a measly $10,000 income. Should I bother sending it at all or should I send it and note the reason it's such a small amount?

Thanks Shawn - no offense taken....I've read the guide about 50 times but at the moment our living room is covered with papers so finding the right one - not so easy. And much better to ask somebody who can point it out straight away than for me to get myself all worked up because I can't...

Rinnerz, you are a rockstar! Thanks!!!

Ok - so I'm paying for 1 - right of permanent residence fee, 1 - sponsorship applicant, 1 - principal applicant. Is that it?? I thought it was so much more expensive but that's only $1,040! Do you guys reckon I'll need a "permanent residence card"? Thank you, thank you, thank you! Once...

Hey Shawn - do you have the number of the CIC hotline? I can't find it anywhere...have a few questions and just not getting the answers on here. Cheers. Dish

Rinnerz - if I am the Canadian sponsoring my common-law partner who is British and we both live in the UK - are we considered "family class"? They don't make this straight forward do they.....
