I applied outland from the US in July and just got my paperwork today- it seems to have gone insanely quick considering it said 17 months for approval when I started. I'm supposed to be in Canada by 5/14/14. We weren't exactly thinking it would go nearly this fast, so this was a bit of a shock...

We are filling out the receipt after paying and its asking for a client ID, which I don't think we have...? How do we fill this line out? And- will having a copy of this receipt help with crossing the border when I go up to visit my husband in Canada in a few weeks? Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I was thinking it was a stupid question but I hated to send it and then have it sent back because I illegally copied a birth certificate LOL

I'm a US citizen sending my packet to my husband in Canada. Its asking for my US birth certificate for the Identity and Civil Status Documents Section...am I to send a copy of it? Its stating on my certificate that its illegal to reproduce it? What are others doing for this?

Redoing a form right now that updated a few days after I finished it. Thanks for that heads up! I was just going through everything to make sure its correct before copying everything and then sending it off to my husband. Hoping someone can answer a quick question- In the Generic Application...

How often do they update the forms? How do I know if they've been updated? I didn't even know that was something I had to have on my radar. Ugh.

Thank you! FedEx sounds like a plan. =)

I'm finishing up my packet and am hoping to have it ready to send to my husband in Canada later this week so he can finish a few things on his end and then send it in as my sponser. I'm in the US and am wondering what the best way to get this to him is? What mail method are people using? And...

anyone else? did others have the date on the back of the photo or not? am I going to have problems by not having a date? my Appendix B says nothing about having a date.

hmm I just got back from having pics taken to see this info now. I called my photographer and he said that there is no way for them to put a stamp on the back in the printing process... so hopefully they accept it without a stamped date? thats the first I've seen the link to that PR card photo...

Thanks everyone! I don't see anything about needing a date on the back on my appendix B, but as I said, theres nothing at all in my GUIDE about photos...it is confusing. I'm just taking the Appendix Photo Spec sheet with me and hoping that will be enough. i'm in the US and no one where I am does...

Does anyone have a link to photo requirements for family class immigration (US outland)? All I can find is the Appendix B Photo Specifications. In my IMM3910 directions it states: Supply 4 recent photos for each member of your family and yourself. Follow the instructions in your guide (see...

I'm in the US preparing my application for PR outland while my Canadian husband is in Canada. Is there any chance of me getting in to visit him before the application is sent in and accepted, or would they turn me away at the border, thinking I might intend to stay? Seems I read somewhere that...

Question about Form IMM5490 I have a quick question on a form that I don't understand and cannot find clarification for...hoping someone here can enlighten me? On Form IMM5490 Question 28. Check ‘‘Yes’’ or ‘‘No’’ to indicate if you are currently living with your sponsor. (I'm applying outland...

Can I photocopy pictures for my application? I am an American who has recently wed a Canadian. We are in the middle of the application filling out (outland) and am wondering for the photos they want...can I photocopy pages of picture albums (Shutterfly, etc) that I've made of us over the years...

dang it.... my apologies...I ended up here from a different area of the site and did not see the first post about spousal sponsership which answered pretty much all my questions :) Tried to delete my question but it won't let me.

I'm an American marrying a Canadian this August in Canada. My entire family is coming up for it. Our plan is for me to go up there, stay a couple months if they will allow that and then come back to file for PR from the US so I can continue working here. I have heard the wait is shorter filing...

Thank you everyone this is very helpful! We are freaked out about the possibility of plunking down a load of money for a wedding and reception ahead of time and having everyone get passports etc and buy plane tickets only to have me turned away at the border. It looks like applying from outside...

I won't have a plane ticket coming in...so I won't have a return ticket to show them. I will be driving as I always do. My dog travels with me :) I'm hoping thats not too much of an issue. I assume if they are nervous about letting me in that they will give me a time limit and paperwork to be...

I'm a US citizen recently engaged to my Canadian boyfriend of 6 years. We are wanting to get married in Canada fall of 2013. I'm currently in Canada visiting and was given paperwork saying I need to be out by a certain date. Sometimes they give me this when I cross and sometimes not. I come...
