Maybe I'll give it a try then! What info do I need in crossing the Tunnel? I've only ever gone over the bridge. Anything special I need?

Hope everyone's process is going smoothly. Will be crossing the Ambassador Bridge in two weeks to get my notarized document for CIC and stay with my fiance for the (hopefully) short last duration of our application. Still quite nervous about the crossing, even though I have every reason to go...

Congrats to all DM's. The doc request I received was October 30th. It mentions I have 45 days to have the document received at their office. I'll be heading up to Canada on the 24th of this month, and my fiance and I will get the doc and overnight it on the 25th. Do they count working days only...

Thanks again, I guess I'm just too nervous for no reason. I'll be going up with my family at the end of the month, I'll be telling the officer I'm coming to get a doc wrapped up for my x months IP PR app, and I'll be visiting my fiance over the holidays while I'm there. Family is visiting with...

Thanks rugrat. If I'm driving with my fiance I won't mention my family. If I am what would be best for us to say they're coming up for? Other than to drive me and see my fiance as well.

I think I'm worried, like most others, that I'll be denied at the border for whatever reason (officer not having a good day). But if I have actual Document Requested BUSINESS with CIC for my PR app (I need to go up there to have declaration of common-law notarized with my fiance), then they...

Nah, he just mentioned it is needed.

Well the officer replied today thankfully, however we do need the document, I replied asking to see if it was possible to have the document split-signed: I have it signed under a notary here and send it to him to have the same thing done in Ontario. If not I would definitely make a trip up there...

Congratulations on your smooth crossing Dan! I'm possibly going to be doing the same thing this month. My problem is I'm trying to decide which situation would be best for crossing. Obviously each time I imagine the PR app may come up and I will tell them each time about it. Already this far in...

I think it just feels a bit messy or impossible to do on CIC's document, there's no space. But I'll call up a notary tomorrow and double check. HOPEFULLY I'll get a response from CIC this week so I have a better idea of how to proceed, thank you for your help. Still hoping we just don't need it :D

Really? That would be great! I want to be 100% sure I could have it notarized in two different places without both of us being present (main reason I replied to their email to make sure it was legit was because I was under the assumption I'd have to go up there to be physically with him to sign...

Thank you very much Ineffable, that was very thorough and I've pretty much done everything I can except have my fiance go up to his MP's office, we'll look into that tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated.

I understand. Congrats again on your DM. This weekend is nerve wracking and I wish it were over already, hah. The Doc request feels like it's such a blatant mistake, I hope they correct it without us having to do anything. I've feel I've read enough about the small mistakes CIC ends up making...

Congratulations.

Re: Emergency Please: Common Law Form? What do you judge are my odds they'll agree it was a mix up and fix it, continuing with my app with minimal delay? I know CIC is known to make small AND big mess ups with apps, but this seems very small to me. The doc wasn't even apart of the PR paperwork...

Thank you Panamai. I hope in my heart of hearts it was a simple mistake. I'd much rather have them say "oops" and continue with the finalization of our file then have to deal with moving this coming month on such short notice. Cross your fingers. I can't see it being anything other than a...

Re: Emergency Please: Common Law Form? Thank you again, I really appreciate it, honestly. This is so frustrating that we are so close and then they cause last second delay with a (mistaken) document. Yeah, if I don't hear anything within the week, and I get no clarification on if we can just...

Thank you very much for the advice Panamai, if it is possible to move and we do in fact need the document (For whatever reason, seeing as it was only needed in the Sponsor portion of the app and we've had SA for months now), I will. Any advice on getting my crap across the border? I'll probably...

Received an email today from CIC requesting Common-Law Declaration document in order to continue with our file. I have been stumped on what to do. I already emailed them and called our MP for more information, I was well aware when we submitted our App that it wasn't needed unless we had a...

Re: Emergency Please: Common Law Form? Any more info from veteran members? Thank you again.
