UK police clearance took just over two weeks. What is nearly taking as long is just going over everything that I have written to make sure I have answered all questions correctly, and that I have written enough, but not too much about our relationship. Nearly everytime I think I'm done, I come...

The way I read it, it says: * is your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner and has dependent children who have dependent children of their own, or * is your child, or a child of your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, and has dependent children of his or her own. So...

Hi. This is probably a dumb question, but on both the sponsorship application and the PR application, they require documentary proof of relationship. What do we do? Just combine all proofs of our relationship in one package, or do we have to provide individual documentary proofs for our...

But the region specific instructions that include South Africa state that 'If you are submitting your application to the Canadian visa office in Rabat, Supplementary Information – Your travels (IMM 5562) found at the end of this appendix. I don't get it. You are applying via Pretoria, and you...

Thanks for your reply, Abedelia. I like it :) I have the photos, and I have a printed list of what on the photos. I was a bit lost from there!

A crazy question perhaps, but I would like to know how did people send their photos for proof of relationship to CIC (along with the rest of the application)? Were the photos sent loose, or in an envelope for the photos? Or were they secured in a particular way?

Great news amisese. Whereabouts in Canada will you be living? And, do you know why did CHC New Delhi requested additional photos?

By part brother and sister, do you mean half brother and sister? In any case, yes, I would put them down as well. I wouldn't go as far as putting sisters in laws nieces and nephews. Someone can correct me if I am wrong about that. I believe this form is mainly for information in case in the...

Hi, I am going through the PR apps, and fretting over everything! Anyway, on form IMM5490E, the sponsored spouse/partner questionaire, at the end they ask you for additional details that will help to prove that your relationship is genuine. I am wondering, what do I write here? I have already...

I remember getting confused as well about this. If you are being sponsored by a Canadian citizen/PR then you need to take a medical before you send off your sponsorship and PR application forms to CIC. Because you have to include that copy of medical form you were given with your PR application.

Hmm, well I am guessing there is some humour in that response, I think! ::) Thanks for replying anyway. And yes, my sponsor and I are the biological parents.

Hi, I need advice on question q.8 of sponsored spouse/partner questionnaire IMM 5490. This is part of the PR application. Q.8 Do you have family members or relatives (i.e aunt,uncle, cousin, etc.) living in Canada. My common-law partner (sponsor) and our two kids live in Canada. Would I put...

OP2 also states that 'Statements in the form of statutory declarations are preferred' which regard to testimonials from family/friends with regard to examples of proofs of a genuine relationship. However, as on here, I have read of people have had not had their testimonials signed and witnessed...

So if you are say over forty years old, then going all the way back from when you're eighteen will be a long stretch. And I am not sure I can remember the exact dates of each job I had, probably the month and the year.

Thanks for all the replies here. The information is very helpful.

And here's my second post :) I just read elsewhere online that ARCs take on average 4-12 months to process. But I was hoping to hear from people on here with personal experiences of applying for ARC.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I was wondering, what are the average processing times for ARCs? I am going to assume that the processing times vary according to the individual visa office or region.
