On the status of Common-Law, I'm a little confused. I know that you're a Common-Law couple officially once you've lived together in a marriage like union for one year. But does the title of Common-law go away if you live away from each other for a certain amount of time, even if you're still in...

Yup I did! Here's what I did just to be sure: [date] Visiting visa extension submitted too late and denied extension, applicant leaves Canada. At the same time, due to a sudden decline in health of her grandfather, sponsor and applicant agree that the best thing to do is to have applicant...

Okay thank you! This forum has been so helpful to me for making sure I have everything understood.

The notification was not a departure order and specified only that the applicant (me) would be required to leave canada due to no status. There were no indication of amount of days. So in this case, assuming I'm correct, I can answer no to that # 6 question, and just mention in my timeline the...

I overstayed roughly 2.5 months since my family had planned to take a vacation to visit me during that time anyway, and it was the easiest way for me to leave. So I can answer No to the #6 question asking if I was ever denied or told to leave, and then just provide the dates in which I left on...

So should I not mention the overstay at all then?

I'm listing the way my application will be organized, maybe it can help someone out who's having trouble. For reference, these two threads helped me greatly while organizing...

Okay good, thank you for letting me know, definitely would've been a hassle having uneeded forms in my application.

If I'm to understand the Application Guide correctly, both the Sponsor AND Application need to have separate filled out versions of these documents: IMM 5406E Additional Family Information IMM 5669E Schedule A - Background Declaration Please correct me if I'm wrong or missing a document?

I was just wondering, does anyone know what the general times for receiving your Police Certificate is for the States for 2014? Preferably from people who have gotten theirs this year. Thank you!

Hello, my partner and I plan to apply for outland sponsorship from U.S to Canada asap. What are the rules for me coming to Canada to stay with him while our application pends?

Thank you for the information, I don't think I'll be doing anything financially complicated while a PR, so that's good! I've read about the US bully stories towards renounced citizens, and I understand the potential risk of a hard time when trying to visit my family. But really the US can bite...

I was talking about the timeline of when we visited. Thank you again for the information ^ ^ I think we have sufficient proof in our Development of Relationship folder, so I'm not too worried about that.

Haha it's okay, I know what you meant! I'll probably start with just some retail or restaurant job, so when I move with my partner and get a job, we'll most likely just get a simple apartment together, PREFERABLY with a good friend to split the rent 3 ways when we're all there, and then 2 ways...

Hm, I suppose that makes sense. I'm just not too happy about having to get taxed by both Canada AND the United States once I become a Permanent Resident and start working, since I do plan on renouncing. But what can you do, right. Okay thank you ^ ^ We may just opt out of that to make things...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone else immigrating from the US to Canada renounced their US citizenship once becoming a permanent resident? What was your process like? And, I see people including "personal letter" from both the sponsor and the applicant in their application checklists, what does...

I'm confused then I think, on these timelines is it best to provide less detail on the dates?

Super awesome fantastic, also really sorry for your ban! That must have sucked. So on the last date I'll just put that I left and for what reason (sudden dwindling health of a loved one, which is why we decided to go outland so I could take care of them while we waited on paperwork), that sound...

That is such a huge relief, thank you so much. I literally had NOTHING really big to worry about except for this, and it was eating me up inside. My partner and I have been together for 7 years, so I'm not worried about proving our relationship is genuine or anything like that, I was only...

Oh thank god, you have no idea how big of a relief that is. So for the date I left canada, I wouldn't put something like "overstayed and left on this date", I'd just put "left on this date"? Are there any examples of timelines I could see to get an idea of the kind of details I should be...
