    ****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    Yes I believe you can. We did the extension application before we even sent in our application. I've seen some posts that say it's much easier to get a visitor's extension approved before you submit your application. As opposed to getting it approved when the application has already been sent...

    ****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    Have you considered applying for an extension of your visitor's visa? I know we did that for me - just in case. It was lucky that we did, as our application got returned, if we hadnt've done that, I would've been out of status. Not that I'm saying it would happen to you - I hope it doesn't...

    Do you think you could elaborate on your situation a little bit? Is your mother a Canadian citizen or permanent resident? Who is she intending to sponsor, aside from you? How old are you? Are you her dependent? Here is a link to help you sort through who she can sponsor...

    Canadian Citizens By Birth Sponsoring a Partner Thread.

    My husband is a Canadian by birth, and not only did our May application take a bit on the longer side, but they also sent it back to us due to a missing signature. We know of another couple who did their application in March (same situation, husband natural born Canadian, wife from the US like...

    U.S. citizen marrying Canadian

    As far as I am aware, you can't apply for spousal sponsorship inland online. Here are two links to help you two get started.: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp...

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    Yes, we are married and live together. It took a while for us to get all of our paperwork together, and we ended up applying first in late March. Then it was returned, and we sent it out again this morning after we updated everything. Thanks a lot you've eased my worries. I'm glad to hear that...

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    We've been living together since late September, we got married mid-October. I just worry that, while we sent what we could based on what the application asked for. We have so much more that it didn't request and I'm worried that without all that info (11 years of chat logs, including...

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    I suppose we could have also included our chat logs... but 11 years of chat logs seemed like it would've been WAY too much to send. :/

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    Well, the problem is so many of the gifts that we have given each other have no monetary value, and we don't have receipt for them. Every birthday, Christmas, and Valentine's day for instance, I would send him a box full of home-made baked goods. There's no receipt for something like that. Or...

    ****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    In March people tended to get their OWP approved around 50-60 days after it was in their office. (About 10+ or so days after AOR) All applications are different, though!

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    Thanks, I'll have to type up a letter of explanation and add in the steam gift logs when I get my AOR and can link my account. I didn't want to add it at first because I didn't think they would "get it". But now that I've re-send the application without it I kinda regret it. :/

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    Yeah, we did put in the application something to the effect of "due to the digital nature of our relationship, there are many gifts that we have sent each other that we simply don't have receipts for." Which is true, for all the steam gifts and whatnot there are a lot of gifts that don't have a...

    Proof of relationship - Steam/digital gift history?

    I'd like to add our Steam gift history down the road but I don't want them to think I'm making stuff up. Our account names aren't our real names, obviously, and can be changed whenever wherever. So it would be difficult to prove without a shadow of a doubt that the gifts are between the two of...

    ****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    I'm surprised there wasn't an inland thread already! I'm with all of you May applicants now! Everyone's application is different, so don't be too stressed if it takes a while. But I can say that on average people seemed to get their AORs in 42-44 days. My Timeline Application Received: March...

    Application Returned - Need clarification

    That might be it, the agent's might've gotten confused. With all the calls they get I wouldn't be surprised.

    Application Returned - Need clarification

    Maybe the call center people forgot then? The letter that they sent to us talks about how we should use the checklist from "February 14th, 2018". It's really concerning how they haven't changed that, either. If you guys didn't warn us they would've set us up for another return.

    Application Returned - Need clarification

    I don't mean to bump the thread, but - can anyone else confirm that I will need to re-print the forms as they have been updated since the time we submitted our application? When I called CIC three times and asked them several questions, one of the questions was "Do I need to re-print the...

    Application Returned - Need clarification

    We submitted our application in March, but because of how long it took us to get everything together, we actually need to update IMM 0008, and IMM 5532 as well, they updated in Fenbruary 2019. :/ It seems like we need to re-do so many things it's actually kind of overwhelming. I'm a tad annoyed...
