Yeah its pretty tough but Rob has the best advice there, no easy way round it unfortunately. I think the average time from the spreadsheets for London outland applications is between 6-9 months which is a lot less than 2 years!

If I recall from the document checklist if you dont have the most recent Option C printout for the last tax year you have to supply pay slips for the prior 12 months. Maybe someone else will know exactly!?

Hey, Just curious as sounds similar to the situation we were in a few years back. I take it you are in Canada now, is it just as a visitor or do you have a working visa thats going to expire?

Unfortunately inland takes a lot longer than most Outland applications but the fact you are married and possibly have a little rugrat on the way will hopefully stand you in good stead. I think CIC understands to some degree that life goes on outside of applications and relationships don't freeze...

Hi CherPare, If my understanding is correct you would just update CIC once they start processing your case and you are allocated a case number, we are in the same boat waiting but I've read a lot from people who update CIC on changes of circumstances during processing. On a personal basis it's...

I applied outland, I suppose given the length of time they take to process inland applications may have been a factor in them sending it back to you, although it seems a bit harsh to me when they could just email and ask for the forms to be resubmitted. We dont have a number yet as the...

Seems we are all in the same boat we did the same thing and submitted our application without updating to the new forms. Fingers crossed they dont send them back. I can't see it being in their best intrests to spend all that money sending back applications, but who knows!

Ah that would make sense!

If you are a Canadian Citizen and assuming you meet the requirements your children would also be Canadian citizens, however, you need to apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate for them which takes about 12-15 months. I am not sure why you would be applying for PR if you were not intending...

I had some problems paying fees on Saturday/Sunday but this seems to be up and running again but the message did say they were doing some website maintenance so I wonder if thats causing some problems?!

Hi Laura, I was caught in the same predicament back in 2005. I did however, apply for an extension at the time and was told that I could continue to work (implied status) until a decision was made, even though as scylla says the work visas cannot be extended and this was made clear to me. I'm...

We paid the other day using Visa (from Scotland) and didnt have any issues. Stating the obvious but have you tried another card?

Whoever is the sponsor is finanically responsible for partner/spouse for three years, as far as I understand the sponsored person is not eligible to claim welfare during this time. I dont know how it would affect an application if the sponsor goes on welfare while the process is ongoing. Maybe...

Just on a side note Jhama I to have read many stories of people submitting hundreds of phots but also of others who have sent relatively few. Personally I think its quality rather than quantity. If you can show different stages of your relationship through the years that has more credence than...

Be careful with the health insurance. I stayed in Toronto for a year and insurance cost me a packet but when I ended up in hospital after being whacked over the head. Unfortunately the hospital didnt recognise my insurance, after waiting for 6 hours and not seeing a doctor I decided to leave but...

Sorry please ignore my last post I've clearly been wading through too many CIC applications tonight! What I meant to ask was peoples experience of the new photo specifications for PR through IMM3901 information guide. They are now asking for 8 photos but the guide seems to indicate that they...

I think that would probably help. As far as I understand they are trying to ensure that your relationship is genuine and you have been cohabiting for a year or more. From my reading of this forum those who seem to have provided more information and organised it appropriately have had less hassle...

Hi Everyone, I was looking for a bit of advice about photos. We are applying for citizenship for our 6 month old prior to me applying for my PR. However, CIC seemed to have changed the requirements around photos for citizenship (in March). Previously I believe the photographer had to stamp the...

I think your lawyer hasn't supplied the necessary information that they requested and they are asking you why this was. I would find out what information they are looking for and write an explanation about why this wasnt included in the original application. It seems to suggest that if you do...

I would probably include a few statements which cover the whole period. That way the officer can see it has been in place for that whole time span rather than just including one from 2012. Better send more than have them write back to you requesting further clarification!
