Had my application returned this morning. They said I needed the original receipt for the medical I took - I must have misread it when it says 'Copy 2 of form IMM 1017' and thought it said 'copy OF'. They have also requested passport photos from me - which were definitely with the original...

Still nothing from Mississauga to say sponsorship approved or that my application has been passed on to the London office - should I worry or is this pretty normal, considering Christmas has just been and gone? Has everyone else received something from Mississauga? I can't even check eCAS until...

I sent in my application on December 1st - stupidly I didn't send it guaranteed delivery, just regular post but with tracking, so I know it wasn't received until December 11th. I've heard nothing since then - no letter saying it's been received or anything - but I assumed that it would have been...

I've already filled out and sent the form - however my outland application will be processed in London, since I'm English, so how does my NZ police check form in Sydney get married with my application in London?!

Hi, I've spent the last year living in NZ and so have applied for a police check from there for my PR application. However, it says on the CIC website that the 'The applicant must sign and send an authorization form...consenting to the disclosure of information by the New Zealand Police to...

Actually, on the subject of that question, my sponsor & I have been living together for almost the entire period of our relationship, save for a 10 week period when I returned to the UK when my visa ran out and he remained in Canada saving money for our NZ trip. So do I say no, we haven't...

Okay, onto the next dilemma. IMM0008, question 11. The problem is, from the age of 9 through to age 24, I worked as an actress. Obviously when i was younger I went to school too, but by the time I was 18 I was working full-time as an actress. However, this does not mean I was working all the...

Actually, strike that, on closer inspection I've spotted a couple of lines which ask for my name 'as it appears on my passport', so that answers that one!

Hello, Firstly, thanks to everyone for making this rather overwhelming experience much more manageable with all your support and advice. I'm sure I'll have many more questions before this is done! Secondly, I will be applying for PR as a common-law. I was married previously, got divorced in...

Hi, On the IM1344 form, the Application to Sponsor and Undertaking, Question 8 a) asks my sponsor's marital status. The options include 'never married' and 'common-law'. My partner has never been married but is my common-law, so I presume he only ticks 'common-law', not both? Furthermore, 8 b)...

Hi, We also have a large age difference, with me (female, English) being the older one at 35, and my partner (male, Canadian) being 20 years old. We worked together and were good friends for 8 months before we got together - I was initially concerned about the age difference but eventually I...

Thanks mitamata, that's both helpful and reassuring! For anyone up to tackling my address question, I should explain that I don't HAVE any other 'residential' address to put down really - we've been in NZ for a year and our working holiday visas are running out in Nov, so we won't be resident...

My boyfriend is Canadian and I'm from the UK. We lived together in Canada for 3 months last year but then were separated when my visa ran out and I returned to the UK. 10 weeks later we both flew to LA, then onwards together to New Zealand where we've spent the last year travelling and working...

I am also about to apply with my Canadian boyfriend as sponsor, also an outland application (I'm from the UK), and also wish to work during the waiting period, so what would be the best route to do this? If he is a Canadian citizen, am I eligible to apply for an open work permit along with my PR...

No, I have no nursing qualifications at all, I have a BSc Hons in Midwifery. Ah well, back to the more complicated Family Class application I guess, not all is lost yet... Mia

Looks like I can't apply, as only nurses are on the 38 list, not midwives. Midwifery has its own code, 3232, but I can't apply without a job offer if the job isn't specifically on the 38, can I? Damn damn damn. Back to square one. Thanks for your help guys and good luck to all of you. Mia

Not just me then! Phew, thanks.

I will be applying to the London office as a British citizen, in case this is relevant.

Right. The CIC website says: The above situations (I count five, not three, but hey) do not relate to me, but of course when I scroll down to the Related Links section I am unable to find any further information on the SAP; I have even asked a savvy friend of mine to help me look and we've had...

Thanks guys, you might just have made my year! Mia :-D
