Hi, I'm trying to help my common law partner fill out his bc msp application. Does anyone know if he has to be attached to mine because he's my spouse or can he just do his own one?

my question was more of a jokey one... cause that's what always happens on tv shows, but in really life it's definitely not that easy to go through immigration. So i wondered if maybe it was in the states since that's where many tv shows where that happens come from :) What i meant by that...

If any one knows this is kind of a silly question, but i keep thinking about it. I'm doing a common law application and people always ask us "why don't you just get married??" and we're like "it doesn't make any difference". So my question is, since it always seems to happen on tv, in the US...

GCMS (Global Case Maagement System) notes or ATIP (Access to Information and Privacy) notes. They are the notes that visa officers make on your file, you can order them from CIC, they cost 5 dollars to have them e-mailed and I think about 30 for post. Here's a link to CIC...

We got our gcms notes about a month ago and know they've received all our of requested documents and have read over everything, and my boyfriends medicals expired a few days ago. I wonder why they didn't just make a decision when they looked at the file, it seems like they looked at it, put...

My application was mid june and we sent requested docs in october and haven't heard anything yet and its been a month past our bring forward date. Has anyone else tried emailing them and heard back? I did two weeks ago as well as requesting our gmcs notes, but no reply yet.

I hope everything goes ok with you! Sorry, I don't really have advice, but I completely understand about being nervous and fidgety and feeling like you've done something wrong when you haven't. I'm your age and I almost got denied entry at a border once for something stupid, and the officer I...

Maybe just try and be as honest as you can with CIC, and maybe if you are still in contact with the child's mother get a reference or letter from her? I'm sure CIC will understand as long as you can prove that you and your partners relationship is genuine, good luck :)

Hi guys, I've been reading with some applications that are requested additional documents have a "bring forward date"? Is this the date they give you to have your documents in by? Mine was 45 days, it's been about 40 now, so mine should be Nov. 3rd, but does that mean that they will actually...

Hey that's great news for you! I think my application is similar to yours, it was sent to Ottawa instead of London and they also asked for more proof of intent to return to Canada from me, the sponsor, and they received that by post last week, so that's really good to hear yours has been...

I don't know about the uci, but I would definitely contact CIC and see what they want you to do

There is also this number for outside of canada 613-940-8495, I honestly can't remember what number I called but it did take me forever to figure it out and get on the phone with them. But yes, it asks for an Option C, I know it's practically the same as the NOA but it's what they want and you...

I think it refers more to being on welfare, if the loans are being paid off and you're commonlaw partner is working or has another source of income, that seems like it would be ok, but maybe some hero members can shed a little more light :)

For a little while we regretted doing our medical early and sending it in right away because that would give us less time to get to Canada and we weren't ssure if were would be ready to go before they expired, but now i'm glad we did send them with the application for the reason that it will be...

Hey guys! to everyone who's application went to Ottawa, KarlR and I recieved an email today saying this: "Effective May 1, 2014, processing of certain family class permanent residence (PR) applications for a spouse (FC1) or common-law partner (FCC) residing overseas will be centralized in...

Hi ive recently emailed cic about my application, im outland and visa office is ottawa, i sent an email to the email provided on my SA letter but i havent heard anything back yet, how long does it usually take to hear back from them?

You can call the CRA and request for them to send you you're most recent option C printout, I would get a letter from your employer and send recent payslips, they just want to know what your income sources are and that you will be able to support your partner if needed. I am also living aborad...

can anyone tell me how to email cic with a question about an outland application? I can't find where to send it to on their website

oh awesome! thanks, I will join the ottawa thread, that's good to know I was a little disappointed as we're going back to Canada in December not knowing if we'll have PR approval by then, so hopefully even if we dont it wont take much longer after we're there.

I have just received my sponsorship approval today, yay! however, it's an out of canada application and we requested for this visa office to be London, as my partner is Irish, but they chose the visa ofiice as ottawa which kinda sucks because the processing time is longer in ottawa :( Why is it...
