Haha yeah Tim's!!! :P ;D So your Bachelor's degree isn't accepted here? It seems like having graduated college would be a big help for you, even if your resume isn't looking so good right now. I have a lot of experience in hospitality, I was a supervisor in a large kitchen for 3 years...

That was such a straightforward and painless response, I love it! I'll go finish my forms now :) It's pretty neat that you're also in Calgary. What field are you looking for a job in? I'm really looking forward to finally getting an OWP because being stuck in my current job (Tim Horton's :( )...

Hi Everybody! The days are counting down until I send out my application, but I'm just working my way through the OWP application so I can include it with everything else and I'm a little confused. I'm using this form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/extend-worker.asp...

Why would he have to sign the passport?

Amazing information!! Thank you so, so much for sharing with me (and everyone else on this forum!) I really appreciate it, and feel a little less nervous about sending it all in now. :)

Good to know all of this, thanks for the reply! I guess I'm just a little nervous about not having enough of the right kind of proof.. I mean, since I'm applying inland and can't appeal... :o Yikes. I just want it to go well. And, I'm not second guessing you here, but I'm just curious where...

I'll second that... has anybody had an experience with seeing how things actually work in the physical sense of application processing? :)

I feel like this application could potentially end up covered in my blood, sweat, and tears haha. I am sure they've seen it all too... I just know that I cannot, seriously cannot, wrap my application in plastic wrap. I would feel like all of my hard work just became some sort of half-eaten food...

Cling wrap? How?

Perfect, sounds good to me!! I have A LOT of "Trip Info" ticket stubs/photos/etc, so I think I might just make an envelope for all of it, and put a note in with the IMM5285 in my main Principal Applicant Forms envelope to have them "See Trips Envelope for all details and evidence." Because...

Haha thanks everyone... and yeah, I'm sure it doesn't HAVE to be separated... but the thought of clumping all of this into one big stack makes me :o haha

Hey everyone! Thank you for all the help you've provided throughout this process. I just wanted to show you all what my day looks like: I'm getting so close! I just want to get it all in the envelopes and get it out!! haha I'm an American, and I my fiancé is Canadian. We've lived together in...

Oh yes, I have been here a couple of times before and everyone always has great advice to offer. This is definitely a very valuable resource :) And thanks again to everyone who takes the time to post replies!!

lynnbb Thanks so much! I am applying inland. I'll just fill out that form and stick it in the envelope with everything else then! And good to know... I'll submit his W2s from this last tax year, since that is the time frame for the Option-C printout they ask for. Hopefully with my explanation...

Hi everyone! These should be very quick questions... I'm an American applying for PR as common-law... my fiancé is Canadian, I am American, and we lived and worked together in the states for the last 4 1/2 years. We both live and work in Canada now (I have a TRV/work permit). What I'm...

Thank you again everyone for all of your replies :) sbea026, it seems like what I keep seeing is that IF there's some chance that you couldn't be admitted back into Canada, don't risk leaving and trying to come back in. I am a full-blown (temporary) resident of Alberta- AB health card, AB...

Ah, thank you. As far as the police certificate... I can either send in my application a little earlier with some non-notarized letters and also risk leaving the country for 4 days right after I send it, OR I can send it at the last minute after I return to Canada with all notarized letters but...

So when would it change? That's what I don't understand. One year? Or should I look up what the timeframe is in the state we lived in and go by that? Any tips on my police certificate situation? Thank you again :)

First of all I want to say thank you for taking the time to reply... The information you're providing is so helpful!! It's also made me really nervous. I've been thinking about what you said above all day. You're right, it is a risk. I guess I'm just in kind of a predicament... You see, I have...

I also saw someone mention a thread where people talked about how they put their applications together and what they enclosed? Any idea where I could find this thread?
