Congrats! did they send it by courier mail or by regular?

Since when does CIC make laws, do you know the definition of law? CRA for example has a completely different view of PRs, is that a law also?

Taxes must be filed every year if we owe the government money or want to claim a refund, or you have to file taxes every year if you had no income but would like to get HST credit etc... CRA has a completely different view or residents and non residents from CIC's perpective... As far as I know...

To be honest with you, I think you should get a lawyer and prove them wrong here. Good luck :)

Could you please tell me where exactly this common law law exists, since as you said - it is the law. an interesting article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/4-myths-about-common-law-relationships-1.1315129

So some people will have to go through the hoops trying to prove their genuine relationship (even legally married ones), but CIC will blindly accept common law status in some other country just because the address was the same :)? Oh well, something is definetly not right here, I think there is...

I am wondering why would he tell CIC that they were already common law before he became a PR himself? He could have just said that they started dating/living together and common law happened after obtaining PR status. Can someone explain? ::) I know it is also hard to prove common law status...

no it's not, sorry

What stops you from just coming to Canada to him and extending your stay while you are waiting for PR? Its very easy to do

5 years apart?! >:( that's terrible. I guess your husband is not from visa exempt countries but the app is still being processed in Ottawa....

congrats :D maybe we will get ours soon also

IP happened around August 22nd, requesting proof that sponsor resides in Canada. On September 8th there was another one - your application is now in queue blah blah blah...

Well if they ask us for an interview with intent to provide more relationship proof I will bring our honeymoon dvds.... :-X

I am really sorry about your mother(not sure how her illness relates to PR app) and extreme long wait time, but it seems that you are trying to blame everyone for *hiding* something as the reason. I don't know the details and its not any of my business, but it seems your situation is not a...

Indeed, it feels like they are doing everything in batches, emails, status updates( IP, DM) etc... It is possible that there are whole bunch of apps with DM already that are still with IP in the system.

Yep, some people do send insane volumes of pictures... I always wondered what other *extreme* applications CIC have received, anything with "inappropriate" material maybe hehe? I mean it can definitely work as a proof of relationship ;D ;D ;D. Not sure how CIC will react to that, or if anyone...

Oh boy, should he also get a death sentence for not disclosing his previous marriage(for whatever reason), which was actually legally divorced as he stated? I think you are overreacting a little bit here, you can't compare his case to an actual criminal charge that CIC wants to investigate...

When we were getting ours, the waiting periods were pretty much dead on with the info on the website. We ordered it earlier but still had to wait. http://www.ontario.ca/page/how-get-copy-ontario-marriage-certificate-online

I am wondering in reality, how long does it actually take (true work) to process 1 application from start to finish, assuming everything is in place, paid fees etc. Probably not more than a month. What exactly are they processing? Do visa officers take applications home and read them every...

You have a bit of pessimistic outlook, but I can see where you are coming from. I have a feeling that most received applications are just sitting on the CIC shelves collecting dust for 4-5 months. We did order GCMS notes and should see them in a week or so, this is 2nd time we ordered them...
