Yeah :D I wouldn't doubt it! Our timeline is almost the same.

Same here. I'm hoping for PPR in April! Really looking forward to visiting Buffalo in spring. ;D

That's what I said whenever I re-entered Canada, and they still harassed me a few occasions. By harassed, I mean that they take into into a little room and interrogate you, threaten you, etc. It's a very unpleasant experience. I'd suggest carrying bank statements just to be on the safe side. I...

Hey Soil, I couldn't reply to your pm because your inbox is full. Here's my reply: Flying/driving makes absolutely no difference when it comes to crossing the border. Since she's from a visa exempt country, she'll have no trouble getting into Canada. Just make sure she can justify her long...

Congrats!

Congrats on your IA, quakingaspen!

They haven't asked, and I don't think they will. We recently got our initial assessment saying that an interview wouldn't be required, so I assume they were satisfied with our answer. Regarding the reason why the marriage hasn't occurred yet, I think it depends on your situation. My fiance and I...

Ugh. I hated answering those questions. They are clearly directed at married couples, not common law unions. In my case, I put that we intended to get married in a few years. So basically, we haven't had a ceremony because we are waiting until we can afford a proper wedding.

That happened to me a few days ago. I was so excited when I saw the email that I actually woke up my fiance....I just had to tell someone! I couldn't contain my happiness; I was literally jumping on the bed. Then we logged in, and bam... nothing new. He went back to bed, and I went back to...

I included: Copy of joint lease Statutory declaration of common-law union Letters from family and friends Letter from our landlord Lots of pictures About 20 pages of email conversations/online messaging history Timeline of our relationship Postcards, love letters, greeting cards We don't have...

Congrats Stellar!

My common law application had numerous separations, i.e 1-2 months due to family obligations, and everything went through fine. I assume they don't have a cut-off time for separations. Crillz, You should definitely file a complaint. I'd wait until the sponsorship is approved and the file is...

It's random, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider a best case scenario. There's quite a few people who got their PPR just 3-4 weeks after their initial assessment/AOR on the Buffalo spreadsheet, so there's always hope! ;D

I was wondering the same thing. I still get flyers and stuff on the weekends, so who knows.

I really hope it's only 2-3 weeks until PPR after receiving initial assessment. I'm planning to turn my Buffalo trip into a little vacation!

You should definitely consult an immigration lawyer. I applied through Mississagua as common-law partnership a few months ago, and I didn't have any problems. My partner and I lived in my home country for quite some time --at my mother's house as well, and we included some of that time into our...

As long as you stay away from Rogers, you'll be fine. I've had many terrible experiences with Rogers... I'm glad I switched not too long ago. Right now, I'm with Koodo/Telus, and it's been great!

In my case, we sent pictures that really showed the passage of time. We divided them by season/special holidays: so spring, summer, fall, and winter. We even included four different Halloween costumes! I also change my hairstyle fairly often, so you can definitely see the time progression in the...

Thank you, Morena! I hope you get your sponsorship approval next week. It shouldn't be much longer. :)

Nice to have you here, valy79! Please keep us posted on your progress. I know our December group is anxiously awaiting PPRs for the November group... Once you guys have your PPRs, then we're next! 8)
