    How does landing work?

    What I mean more specifically, is how does this work in regards to timelines? I've read numerous times that people receive their COPR with an expiration date in the past, or one too soon to pick up and go. If that's the case, how do you get it extended? And is there an average time limit from...

    Is marraige license a part of required document to be submitted ?

    Is this because of where the OP is based, or does it apply to all nationals from the Philippine regardless of location?

    Still not clear on Option C

    Makes sense :) But it leaves me wondering, on what basis then did people's application get sent back marked as incomplete if they didn't provide an Option C?

    Still not clear on Option C

    Does anyone else feel this is a grey area? I see some people say absolutely send it, and others saying they were approved without it. Are there any other Canadian citizens here who have lived and worked abroad for years and are sponsoring their spouse? I will be providing a letter of...

    Do they need my birth certificate?

    For us our birth certificates don't need translating, but I assume they need notarizing. The first 3 (birth cert, bapt cert or other official documents) I've concluded refer to my wife (we have no kids, so nothing to show relation to family members), and the next section refers to me (Canadian...

    Is marraige license a part of required document to be submitted ?

    Where does it say that CENOMAR is required? I don't believe this applies to all applicants.

    Mailing address and email address

    Ok that makes sense. Here we don't have a residential mailing system, so all mail goes to our work address. Since we work in different places, will primarily correspondence (COPR, PR card etc) go to my wife (the principal applicant), or me? Also, would the PR card get sent to us before we...

    Mailing address and email address

    In both my and my wife's forms (I'm the sponsor), it asks us to put a mailing address and email address. We prefer to receive comm via email, so we're providing that, but what will the mailing address be needed for? Other than hopefully not receiving our application package back, what sort of...

    My wife was given a visitor visa last year before we went on vacation. Just wondering, does this mean she has a UCI number somewhere?

    mailing the application - fine to use file cases?

    I might need to do this myself, so I'm curious to see what others will say. But from some images I've seen of finalized packs, this looks normal. However you can't just mail it off in that right, will you then need to put that whole thing in an envelope? There's many divisions in that folder...

    Do we have to send immigration guide??

    Which country's immigrant guide are you using? Essentially the guide is the set of documents. So ours for example is 32 pages long, but only maybe 15 of them apply to us, the rest are for other countries so we'll exclude them. My final immigrants guide document will include the checklist...

    Proof of intent to return on both my forms and my spouse's?

    Hi, So as part of my (sponsor)'s checklist, I need to provide proof of my intent to return to Canada should my wife's PR be approved (Qu 20). We are applying from the UAE, and on page 29 under the Residency Questionnaire for the Middle East version, question 3 and 4 seem to ask the same thing...

    No Option C - Which supporting documents?

    I've been living and working outside of Canada for 5+ years now, and have no primary ties to Canada, other than a couple of minor secondary ties. Because of this I can't get an Option C so I wanted to ask if the below will suffice to send across, and if I send these documents will they possibly...

    Do we have to send immigration guide??

    We're planning to send only the forms that are relevant to where we are currently based. Our form is generic for about 10 countries, so we're excluding the ones that don't refer to our location. Basically we'll keep and send the checklist completed (or N/A for non-relevant forms), attach to it...

    Does sponsor need to show marriage certificate?

    Sweet_ivy, my wife is based here in the UAE, so we'll be going by the UAE instructions. I believe the NSO documents are required for the Manila office.

    Does sponsor need to show marriage certificate?

    It says in the Middle East instructions (we're based in the UAE), to send notarized copies, so I think we should be sending only notarized copies of her birth certificate and our marriage certificate, and I believe I need to also send my birth certificate too notarized. If you see page 3 of the...

    Sorry one more question related to this, my birth certificate has a certified to be a true copy stamp on it, does it still further need to be notarized?
