On the inland application CIC guide: •Leaving Canada can automatically cancel temporary resident status as a visitor, student or worker. The person being sponsored has no guarantee that he or she will be permitted to return or re‑enter Canada if he or she leaves before permanent residence is...

Just a note of caution although what Kayaker has said is completely true and he probably will have no trouble getting in, it is better to travel with all his documents advising that the PR application has been submitted and a return plane ticket. If he simply turns up at the border and tells...

Dont go Inland!!! You have been together for a long time, have a kid and owned a business.....and you are married you cant really get better than that. Inland applications have ground to a halt of late so I believe. I'm sure rhcohen will back me up on this one you could have the process done and...

Well thats good that you have not been on welfare. It might be worthwhile getting your parents to write a letter saying they will financially support you but getting some form of work might be no bad thing either. What CIC are looking for is assurance that you wont need welfare support so having...

I just filled out the part in the questionnaire and then added an extra sheet with the questionnaire number, my name the question number and a basic table for the added info in the same kind of order it was in the questionnaire. I dont think it really matters as long as you make it really clear...

There is no income requirement to sponsor your husband but I believe that you cannot be on welfare/benefits as when you undertake sponsorship you are agreeing to financially support your husband for a set period of time. I'm sure from previous posts you have to be off welfare for around 12...

I think uncomplicated may be that on the first inspection everything is complete, all fees are paid, medical, police check etc etc. I would guess that there are no 'red flags' either and the evidence submitted is of good quality so it will be unlikely that they will need to request anything...

Amen to that!!

I am setting up a petition against the petitions. www.stopbeingawhinyimmigrant.com.

As Eyre said you can travel into Canada on his British passport. The application process for citizenship is on CIC website and is very straightforward, when we applied the told us it would be 12-15 months but we got it back in 3.

Yeah I can't imagine what a horrible postition that is. I have seen a few people on here who have been in similar urgent circumstances and I just couldnt think that anyone had been able to offer any short cuts. However, on a personal note do what you have to do, if that means packing everyone up...

Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Unfortunately I don't think there will be much you can do to speed up the process as everyone is in the same boat. I take it you are living in the UK right now? The only thing you could do is as you said visit or alternatively move back now and wait for...

Ah I did wonder when it mentioned IEC visa. Sounds like some good advice there Becki best steer clear.

IEC yes if you do it directly through CIC website. I was just looking at the Bunac site, the visa is actually an IEC visa....I'm not sure if they get a specific allocation or whether you are just piled into the pot with the other IEC applicants. Might be an idea to give them a call to clarify. I...

I would apply when the application process opens fully, Bunac will email you I think if you sign up. From what I recall you can apply straight away as your year visa doesnt start when you apply but rather when you land in Canada. Once you apply through Bunac you would just select the flight date...

Yes you can work anywhere in Canada and once you arrive they will insert your visa into your passport. You will get a SIN number (like our national insurance) which will allow you to start work. I did this about 10 years ago so it might have changed but we had the option of booking a flight...

I should correct myself Charlie it was Bunac that I went through, you're right you pay a fee and book flights and insurance (i think) with them, its pretty much the same thing. I had to go to a meeting and then you applied afterwards. Its just my opinion but I really would think twice about...

One other thing I forgot which I think Becki mentioned is that your bf could come here using the SWAP programme, it seems a lot easier and the visa is for up to 2 years so you could get your common law status easily here. You can find the info below. http://www.swap.ca/out_eng/destinations/uk.aspx

I think shes getting confused Screech with all the inland/outland stuff. Basically Charlie you have 3 options realistically: 1. Either you come to Canada as a visitor and spend 6 months not working but living together. You could then apply to have an extension to try and make your 12 months...

I think thats the problem Screech, from my reading it looks like they haven't been able to do that therefore do not qualify under common law. Becki was probably asking becuase she could apply for IEC working holiday next year (I think there was an age limit but not sure whether thats still the...
