Congrats and good luck for rest of processing :) please do fill out Dec 2016 spreadsheet (in my sig) if you have a chance

I assume you meant 1344, the one with the barcodes for the sponsor? If so, I would say it's not necessary as the officer will end up just using the barcodes to scan your answers on that specific form. If it's not necessary, the form will automatically gray out a N/A field anyways. On every other...

Thanks, and for sharing your story too :) You were definitely better prepared than us.

I'm convinced we just had a crabby border guard. There was no mass amounts of stuff in that trip we got denied. There was a framed photo and a snowboard/winter gear which set off red alerts in this guy's eyes and he wouldn't let it go. My wife shipped her car with her old license plate over with...

Hi everyone, Since there was all this talk about new vs. old application, I thought it might be helpful to post a link to the old application guides for reference since they're no longer linked on the CIC site. These guides were downloaded around Dec 10, 2016 in preparation for the...

You need to hit 10 posts first and then a whole bunch of new profile options will open up :)

Personally, I'd put N/A on any blank space or checkbox that you don't fill in just so that you're letting them know that you read it but it doesn't apply. I've read in several threads that that's the way to go. Unless they've changed forms, barcodes should go on top. Technically, the sponsor...

Hi - it was in the New application kit document that CIC had published. The changes to the kit will include the following: A new application kit for use by all spousal applicants. Applicants will no longer have to choose between two different kits depending on whether they live in Canada or...

December 2016 spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bg5v8mTGNuLjFZVv8hAzwMBmrTe0KnCD0C_JycHUGeU/

Curiously, at which stage did you know that you passed the medical? Just looking at the November spreadsheet and it looks like a bunch of people have indicated that the medical was passed. Thought it would have been processed in AOR2, but maybe I'm wrong? Thanks

I've been continually told that it makes much more sense for Americans to apply outland (4 months vs 1 year+ processing) regardless of if you stay with your Canadian spouse or not in Canada. However, this was before the changes with the application process and I've also read that inland...

I'm not sure anyone will know specifics in relation to new application since it just came out a few days ago... but I'd say follow the instructions to a tee to avoid the CIC giving you any reason to reject you. For my own situation, my wife and I chose to go with the old forms (valid until Jan...

Another one in this boat... getting more involved with the forums now that the app is out. - I'm the Canadian sponsor - My American Wife lives in Vancouver with me on a visitor visa (first visitor visa issued back in July at CBSA, and then extended online through CIC site until May 2017) -...

Thanks. I guess the biggest difference is that at least there's no way they can deny a PR entry into Canada even if they do take you into questioning, but of course that's an experience we'd both rather avoid. In a nutshell, my wife and I (girlfriend at the time) got caught in a lie because we...

Thanks very much for sharing your story. I can definitely relate very closely to getting butterflies and then some... I think if we could get to that point someday, I would call it a good day. Right now, we're downright terrified, still get nightmares about our experience, and are doing...

Good luck, I'm in a similar boat as you sponsoring my American wife, and I just submitted my Outland application today. FYI, as far as I know, you don't need to notarize letters of support if you're married. It only applies to common-law couples. This information was in other threads in this...

Hmm... maybe OP can post it if you PM it to him/her? Probably newbies can't post URLS...

Hi everyone, Thought I'd bump this up since it's a quieter work week and well, there's other things on my mind haha. I recently submitted an Outland application (317 pages) for my wife (American) using the old Outland process and it was received today by CPC-M. Impatiently awaiting AOR1...

Super quiet thread in December... anyone going to get a spreadsheet going for Dec? :) P.S. Canada Post priority mail was late by a day, but my application was received today by CPC-M. Quite a relief, though I guess in hindsight, it was a bit sketchy to send it with all the Holiday mail floating...

Sent off old application yesterday in Vancouver to CPC-M. Took a look at new forms and decided to just go with the old forms since we already had it completed and figured there'd be new bugs with the new forms. Hoping to get AOR / ability to link through ECAS soon!
