We seem to be waiting forever to hear back from Quebec after getting approval in principle for sponsorship. The applicant's package has been at the VO for ages and I understand nothing will be done on it until QC makes a decision. I can't find any info on their site for processing times for...

What truesmile said ;) Just keep in mind that its illegal to "live" in Canada until you have the right to live there and you don't get that right until PR is approved. "Visit" is the only safe word to use.

FWIW, my husband had lived outside of Canada for years and hasn't needed to do a tax return for years either. We were advised that an Option C printout is required regardless. When we called CRA the guy basically laughed and said he couldn't see the point in an Option C printout that showed no...

I think you might be getting yourself a bit confused with these forms. If you are sponsoring your wife then your wife is the principal applicant. You are the sponsor. So, you complete all the forms in the sponsor's package and your wife completes all the forms for the applicant. You can help her...

That form is only asking about your children and your wife's children (if there are any). IMM 5406 asks for details of your other family members such as brothers, sisters, etc.

Why would you send an email so soon? CIC request that people don't send emails unless the application has passed the usual processing time without people hearing anything. Your application has only just gone in! It's worth remembering that the same people that work on applications are the same...

You bring hope to us all! Congratulations Westie - that is such wonderful news! Where on the Central Coast? I've lived in Pearl Beach, Woy Woy and at Copacabana. Many happy years on the coast.

I looked at mine again and it's the same as your husbands - there is a UMI number but no IME. I was really worried when I did mine because there seemed to be a lot of confusion over the e-Medical procedures but it all worked out okay. CIC got mine okay and I'm sure they will also get your...

There isn't a form with the electronic medical system they are using now. The tracking sheet and doctors receipts are all I got with my medical. The tracking sheet has the IME number on it and you just enclose that sheet (after taking a copy for yourself) with the application. The IMM1017...

My Adobe Acrobat 11 worked fine on my Windows 7 computer but, then again, I didn't try completing the forms online. I saved them all to my computer. Then I created a folder called "partially complete" and another one called "completed". The original that I downloaded was in a folder called forms...

I haven't landed but the Canadian B4 is very similar to that which is used in other countries and I have loads of experience with that. Have you read this...

If you are planning on moving back and you will be a resident in Quebec when you go back then you apply as a Quebec resident. This means that if you are the sponsor you have less to fill out for CIC but then you also have the application to do for Quebec after the CIC sponsorship stage is assessed.

Wait and see what it says on the letter. When we got SA the letter included the information that the application had been transferred to the VO overseas and gave the VO's address and contact details.

I'm sorry for the situation you find yourself in. Unfortunately, the new law only applies to applications that were received on or after 25th October, 2012 so it doesn't apply to your July 2011 application.

It's about proving intentions, so copies of the things you have, printouts of the websites you have looked at, copies of any emails received in relation to your enquiries about daycare, etc - these all help to paint a picture of your intentions. I'd also write a letter detailing just what you...

I don't understand this - you lived for almost two years together, in a committed sexual and emotional relationship, in the same house as your parents but didn't tell your parents? I think a VO officer would find it hard to believe that you were in a common-law relationship. Even if you marry...

Common law doesn't have to have a legal status it just has to meet the CIC definitions. A couple can provide evidence from family and friends to prove they were living together as a common-law couple. In myboss case, the country may not have legally recognised the relationship but family did...

This exact same post from myboss was posted in three different threads and has resulted in a lot of experienced people helping. I'd suggest looking at myboss's profile for the latest posts to respond to. Seeing answers across three threads is confusing!

If you want to get married check on the laws about marriage in whichever country you want to get married in. Getting married in a third country won't make any difference to your sponsorship application. From CIC's position, you probably got PR through misrepresentation. Getting married in...

Only????!!! LOL Thanks Westie. Maybe I should just stop looking and check again in six months ;D For some strange reason, I thought they would keep the electronic record up-to-date. Silly me.
