Yes. There are numerous threads on this site about this exact topic. If you plan on traveling frequently you are advised to apply Outland. Unfortunately, if you leave while your inland application is processing, there is no guarantee you can re-enter Canada and thus your application will no...

Yep, they want more. If it's been returned twice, you really need to look into getting more documents to prove your marriage. You need to provide documents from at least 2 of the 3 categories above, and thus far you only have 1. Look into getting life insurance and making your wife a...

I'm sorry your application has been returned twice. That must be extremely frustrating! I agree with with faithey, you really have to provide as many documents as you can for number 3. Any Facebook posts you are tagged in together, or if you've posted on each others walls, or chatted through...

I think you did the right thing. You are being honest. They keep all your applications on file, so when you apply for PR through common-law they will look back through these and if there is conflicting information (which there would have been if this application stated a different common-law...

I think you should be as honest as possible. Given them all the information upfront by writing a letter explaining this. You did the right thing by not overstayed your TRV and it is perfectly acceptable (and normal!) to want to go back home and visit family! If you ignore gaps it may raise...

You will definitely receive the physical OWP by mail, so I would recommend going to Canada Post and re-direct your mail. I'd also advise contacting the IRCC and update your new contact details (can do this via web form). You will receive correspondence through your Online account if you linked...

I sent mine November 2nd and it was signed for November 3rd. Good luck everyone! I look forward to chatting with you all throughout the process! Don't forget to update the Google spreadsheet (above) under the'November' tab as a way of keeping track of our timelines! :-)

Thanks everyone! I think I'll wait now knowing they may not request it, or may request it further down the long after it's expired! Appreciate all your comments :-)

Yes, I have heard the same thing. Thanks for the advice!

Hi all, I submitted my application yesterday, and it was signed for this morning. YAY! I applied OUTLAND common-law, but I'm currently living in Canada (and have for 3 years). I want to go ahead and get the RCMP check so it's ready when they request it. I am wondering if anyone can give any...

Yeah it really is a big weight off our shoulders! Can't wait to have it out of my hands!

OK great! I thought that was just for US- but great, I'll do it now! Thanks for the tip! Sending tomorrow! YAY!

Thanks for the tip! Did you have to open a "business account" to get this discount? I'm on the website now and it seems it's only for business accounts...!

Hey! I am wondering how many people are submitting their police certs with the original submission? I know this used to be the way to do it, but with the changes they are asking you to hold off until requested. BUT I keep reading on this site of technical glitches and applicants not receiving...

Perfect, thanks! Yeah it does feel odd to separate them, but I get why they want the barcode pages up front! Thank you!

Hey everyone! I am sooooo close to submitting (YAY!). I am reading through the section "Check your application to avoid common mistakes" of the Complete Guide IMM 5589, and the order of documents is ambiguous! The order of documents should be as follows: checklist; open work permit...

OK thanks! So just to clarify, that's NO also on both accounts? It's a NO for Question 3, and a NO to the photos?

Just to follow on from this, Question 5 of the same checklist asks for " Supply two (2) recent photos for each of your accompanying family members and yourself" I have obviously obtained photos for myself as the Principal Applicant. But do I really need to provide photos for my child? Yes, they...

Hey everyone! Common-law outland applicant here. My Canadian partner and I have a child together who was born here in Canada (i.e. Canadian citizen) and thus does NOT require immigrant processing. I've included his birth certificate and passport in the application, and have included our child...

Great, thanks! That is exactly what we are thinking too. It can't hurt! Thanks!
