Ooh, I thought they were mandatory for some reason but that is good news! Thanks :)

Hello, I was recently told on here that it would be in my better interest to apply for my residency under "outland" even though I am currently residing in British Columbia with my husband. Apparently the processing times are much quicker. I am from New Jersey, USA originally and I was reading...

Thank you so much, Keesio! :-)

Yeah, sounds like we should! Thank you everyone!

Wow, I had no idea. I could have sworn I read that you must live in your state of residency if applying outland. I see the processing times for outland are quicker for assessing the sponsor, it says 48 days as of today but when assessing the applicant (me) it states 16 months so it seems to...

I was told this by an immigration consultant probably 9 months ago, at the time the processing times online showed inland moving faster but I have not looked at that most recently. I am from New Jersey, USA! I am able to apply outland while living here in B.C.???? I thought I must be living in...

Thank you! How long ago did you and your wife go through this process? We are applying inland and from what I hear it is slightly faster than applying outland although nothing seems to be too speedy when it comes to this process!

Hello, I am applying for Canadian residency in British Columbia and I am being sponsored by my husband. Are two statutory declarations from friends/family necessary for married couples or is it just for common-law and conjugal. I noticed on a guide I have printed out it specifically says "If...

True. I think you were one of the people who responded to a previous post I wrote and you mentioned being able to apply for healthcare after submitting the application. Do you know how that works exactly? Do I have to show proof of sending in the application? I was surprised to hear you could...

Thanks for the info! I of course am having both done asap but I was worried if I did not send everything at once it would be considered an incomplete application causing greater delays. Since they stress sending a "complete" application I wanted to make sure of this because we would like to...

Hello, I'm from the US but currently in Canada with my husband. We are almost done our application for my Canadian residency but I still need to have my finger prints done, is this something that must be done before sending our application is submitted or does the embassy request this later...

Hi! Yeah, I'm not sure what to expect as far as my physical goes for the application so I guess I'll see what happens when I get to that point. Also, thank you driftcars, I actually found an office that is taking me and they listed all their prices for every visit along with an idea of how much...

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED! I actually JUST found a clinic that was so very kind and accepting of me and will follow my pregnancy! My first appointment is in a few weeks so I feel much better knowing I will be looked after. What a stressful process!!! :o

Thank you, Jenny! I am actually in British Columbia and have lived here since my husband and I married. I have not submitted my application yet as I am waiting on one final form to send in with it. I would hope being pregnant would not be an issue, especially since it was very unplanned. Also...

HELLO, I AM AN AMERICAN AND I'VE MARRIED A CANADIAN AS OF THIS PAST AUGUST AND WE'VE JUST FOUND OUT I AM PREGNANT. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL AFFECT OUR APPLICATION FOR ME TO BECOME A RESIDENT? ALSO, I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DOCTORS AND NO ONE WILL TAKE ME AS THEIR PATIENT EITHER BECAUSE THEY...

Hey! Thank you SO much, very helpful!! I did all that and I noticed it requests a digital photo to be submitted but on the check list to extend my stay it didnt say I needed a photo other than my passport of course. Can I just take a picture with my phone and upload that? Also, what is this...

HELLO! I HAVE COMPLETED MY FORMS TO EXTEND MY STAY HERE IN CANADA AS A VISITOR BUT I DO NOT SEE HOW TO APPLY ONLINE, EVERY LINK I CLICK ON TO APPLY LEADS ME TO PAGES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH APPLYING. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? IS THE ONLY WAY TO EXTEND YOUR STAY BY MAILING IN YOUR...

Hi there, I'm an American who is in the process of applying for residency since I've recently married a Canadian. One of the questions on the application form asks for my current country of residence which is here in Canada and it requests the dates I arrived til how long I am staying and also...
