Yay, all that worrying was for nothing! I'm curious, did you call CIC and then get AOR?

Also consider sending an outland application. There are pros and cons to both - but I just hope you gave it some thought! If he applies inland, and needs to leave the country and doesn't get back in for some reason, his application will automatically be cancelled. If he applies outland and...

@ Belle Ah, ok. 13 months before getting married isn't bad at all! The age thing might be a bit of a concern but if that is your only thing I wouldn't worry too much. It is good that you are prepared but as an outsider looking in, I don't think you should be too worried! If your husband is...

Right now the Hong Kong office is at about 7 months. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp

Even if you get married you still need to prove your relationship is genuine. So start gathering all that information now, it takes longer than you think. Your future wife will need to do a medical exam. The results are only valid for 12 months. The VO office will give you a date that the...

@ Axxis - I know you are headed to Toronto, but I was curious WHEN you would like to go? ASAP or in a few months? @ Isabelle - Why do you think you are at risk for an interview?

Congrats! How exciting!!! No more going crazy! :P So what's the plan? Any idea when you would like to move?

CIC wants some proof that you or your spouse will not go on welfare after they land as PR. So they want to know how you will be supporting yourself. Are you currently working? A student? Where will you live when your spouse lands? Many couples send notarized letters from their parents or...

The longer you guys are a couple before you apply, the better it will look to CIC. Having a short courtship will be a huge red flag. So I would really wait before thinking of applying. I'm not trying to be judgemental so please don't take this the wrong way but where did you place this...

1) He can apply to sponsor you, but they will look at the genuineness of your relationship more closely because of your age gap. 2) The requirements can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-who.asp 3) The application itself, including Right of Permanent...

Well I will send my good vibes for you and Canadianbelle for now. Although I hope my application doesn't get near the 13 month mark, I'm not in such a hurry. I live with my partner in Berlin and we can't move to Canada before October anyways so hopefully they speed along with your applications...

You can sponsor her as a common-law partner. Since she has legally been living in Australia for a couple years now, you can apply OUTLAND, using the Sydney office, which has a processing time of 11 months. However a lot of the applications from that office have been getting processed pretty...

No one said you will be rejected. People are just trying to emphasize to do as best as you can, gather as much proof as you can. You don't have to go to Canada alone, it was just an idea - another option that maybe you hadn't considered. Generally, VO offices will ask for more documents...

That letter is fake for sure. Please do report him ASAP, what he did is horrible. I also wouldn't hesitate to post the representative's name on here to warn other people on here who are thinking about applying through a representative.

The processing times are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp The INLAND times are below the outland times, so scroll down. It is currently at 10 months. So it will be 10 months before your husband gets an OWP. You are better off applying outland as zardoz said.

There is no minimum income requirement for spousal sponsorship. So that is fine. Just do not go on welfare. However, they do want some proof that you won't go on welfare after your husband is approved as well. You can have your parents write a letter to include in your application saying...

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can live abroad while the application is in process. Only PRs need to be living in Canada. If you want, move back to be with your husband. You will need to inform CIC of your address change. I think you can do that online even. Also, if you are living...

I applied common-law and was quite confused as whether or not two letters had to be notarized. A lot of people said notarized letters are stronger support, so we had letters notarized, including the one that my parents will offer us a place to live and financial support. So it is up to you, to...

It is helpful! Thanks! I always love to read about Rome speeding through applications! :)

I think he has already left..... If you have, don't worry too much. Since you are from Australia, a visa exempt country, the chances of you being denied entry back into Canada are low. Of course there is always a chance they won't let you in, so that is why people recommend not leaving the...
