Leaving your country to work does not necessarily nullify your common law status, if in fact you are still a common law couple and your usual place of residence is with your partner.

As far as I am concerned, my application is fairly straight forward and has met all the requirements under the Immigration Act for Family Class Sponsorship. And I am convinced that if my file had been retained by the original visa officer who was working on it before the Christmas break, instead...

I think the difference in wait times will often depend on the visa officer who is processing your file. I'm convinced that there are some officers who go out of their way to delay fast approvals or seem hell bent to find some fault with your application. In my case I received PPR last October...

I would have to agree with this just speaking from my own experience

It should be noted that Canada is very large geographically and lifestyles vary a lot from province to province. For example, living in the Atlantic provinces is very different than living in a big city like Toronto or the prairie provinces. Many immigrants and citizens who rarely go outside...

Yes. I sent an expired one with a note that a new one had been requested and would be sent to them when received. CIC was ok with that.

yes I am an American citizen.

Don't waste your money on either a lawyer or a consultant if you have a reasonably straight forward case. Read the instructions carefully and complete the forms accordingly. Anything you have a question on just ask folks on this forum who probably know more than most lawyers due to their own...

Hello Tom What a great Day! Congratulations. All your friends are rejoicing with you, especially us here in Canada. So happy Landing soon . Best wishes for a happy and successful life here,

Not yet, I decided to order another set of GCMS notes which hopefully will show some activity on the file. If there is no activity I will contact my MP at that time.

After I received PPR and after being informed that interview was waived, my file was transferred to LA without any notification. I waited for months for copr and emailed Ottawa several times before they finally replied saying the app was sent to LA for completion. What a shock I ordered GCMS...

US citizens who are visiting Canada and have a PR application in progress do not have to cross back and forth the border to reset the 6 months visitor period. Simply apply online for a visitor visa extension approximately 1 month before your 6 months is up. In most cases CIC will grant you a 1...

When we filed, we included an out dated FBI report, with a note that an updated one would be sent later. We wanted to get in the queue as quickly as possible, and CIC seemed happy enough with that arrangement.

You could have had your medical exam done in Canada, from the approval list of Canadian physicians, which would have saved you the travel cost of returning to the UK.

Don't worry its a positive decision as they do not deny you PR without an interview. As you are already in Canada they will probably just send you the COPR and let you land.

Congrats. Fantastic news! After all the traumatic stress of the long wait. Best wishes for a fast finish of your processing and hope you can land soon.

Yea and how about LA with a 26 month wait time. For the waiting families, these wait times are totally unacceptable and happen only because those processing the apps seem to be unaccountable to anyone.

He can apply online for a visa to extend his stay in Canada during the processing of his PR app. This is quite common and CIC generally approves same in 30days. This will give your spouse legal status in Canada during processing, without having to leave and re-enter Canada.
