For an inland application, yes, the timeline stated there would still hold. With the inland app it is expected that you are staying in Canada for the entire process....applying for the OWP when you do your PR app gives you the "implied" status so that you would be allowed to stay with your...

Re: URGENT...Re: UCI Number ? As people here are trying to tell you, NO. Canvis2006 already answered you....if he does not have a UCI number already (from previous dealings with the CIC) he leaves it blank. You absolutely do not put any number of yours there.

Possibly never :) Holland is a visa-exempt country so you shouldn't ever have to drop off/pick up a passport there (by the time it gets to that stage of the app they will probably only ask you for a COPY of your passport) and most of your dealings would be through regular mail or email. If you...

Please do NOT consider me an expert here, because I try not to offer advice outside of my own realm of experience, but I'm wondering if the OP would be better off withdrawing his PR application and re-submitting a fresh one where he clarifies his marital status and does not say he has been...

You said there was a time you were in Australia for one month. Since that wouldn't count as living in another country for six months I don't think it's a big deal you didn't mention that one month stretch.

That other time you weren't there for 6 months, so I think you're fine.

I assume you mean the IMM 0008 form and that's just a typo :) You actually DO put Canada there...on the pull-down menu for Status you can select "Visitor", and you can put the start date as the date she first came in and the end date as the date the Visitor permit expires. Also, the OP is...

Alternatively, he can actually apply again to extend THAT stay into 2015 if need be. :) The important thing is that when he first enters, he doesn't say he is moving to Canada, and he gives a defined date of departure. He shouldn't have piles of luggage with him :O

I looked over the IMM 1344 section of the outland info on CIC and it says the same thing :P So either in two years they did a 180 on the definition, or the people on the phone were just wrong back then. So little_apple appears to be correct :) In any case, whether it's 2011 or 2012, it's been a...

Actually, I might not be...:( I found this tidbit on the CIC site, from the Inland app section...I'm trying to figure out if, for some reason, there's a contradictory note given for outland apps: Enter the date (year, month, day) you were married or you entered into your current common-law...

I think the response to the first question may be incorrect....I believe it should actually be September 2011 as that is the date you moved in together. I'll try to find some more clarification on this, but I know it was discussed in another thread here.

I was thinking more of the, likely extremely odd, case where the sponsor is the one doing the leaving. It just seemed a bit unfair to me that a sponsor can unilaterally decide to terminate the sponsorship, let's say simply because they don't want to maintain the undertaking...and this would...

Like rob said no one really knows.. My gut feeling is that the CIC isn't going to actively follow up on every new PR in two years, but that this new law gives them teeth to make PR status revocable. So within a two-year period a sponsor COULD report a breakdown and the CIC can move to act and...

You'll be fine. You don't even need to mention the PR app to the customs officer...you really are just visiting at this point. Like chala said, just have a return ticket handy, and don't overpack either.

I just tried it (that mystery-solver in me, again..). Turned off my wireless and tried the locally-downloaded PDF Form, filled it out and hit Validate. It still generated bar codes for me... Given you have to print the form out anyways, to sign it, and mail it in, I don't really see what the...

I...don't quite get this either, but I have a theory that it might be something to do with the bar codes it puts on some of the forms when you fill them out....there might be a URL that the logic on the form is accessing to generate those bar codes and so you would need to have an Internet...

My wife's took about 6 weeks to arrive, when we got hers back in February of this year. So you should get it soon, but may still have up to 2 weeks to wait (or maybe more if the shutdown affected anything there). One thing I kept doing was checking my credit card statement online...if you paid...

OhCanadiana has everything else wrapped up pretty nicely, so I won't add any more to the thread. :)

I wish to add to my previous comment... If you are using Adobe Reader to fill out the IMM 0008 form, there's a very cool button you probably noticed, called "Validate"...clicking that actually causes the form to check whether it has been filled out correctly...and it highlights boxes that MUST...

For things like date fields, if for some reason you do not have a date to enter (because the situation does not apply to you) then I believe you just leave it blank. But make sure you review the question and ensure that that is the case. For the PO box number I also believe you would just leave...
