If you are permitted to stay in Canada for the usual six months as a visitor, and would like to stay longer you can simply apply to extend your visitor visa online (costs $100). If you are planning on applying for PR through common law then you need to be residing together continually for a year...

That would be great, nice to actually meet someone off the forum!

If you were checking ECAS for your status then I assume you have a UCI/File number. Are you sure you are looking at the correct part? If I remember correctly to check your sponsorship approval you need to enter your UCI number which pertains to the sponsor. If you enter the file number it will...

Yeah affectionately known as Scarberia by the locals! The beaches is great if not a little pricey....I think I know where you're talking about.

Actually I'll correct my previous statment the MP might be able to help before UCI/App number as they might be able to find out if the app was opened faster than call centre would be able to tell, looking at previous threads.

Nobody will be able to give you a definite answer Karimov its soely dependent on who opens your file and what they then do with it, I have heard this happen to a few people and CIC simply transfer it for outland processing.Your MP won't be able to do anything until you have a UCI/Application...

I don't think there is much you can do until they actually get round to opening your application. They will most likely realise the mistake and pass it to the correct office. If you do not recieve SA for outland apps by the expected time on CIC website you can contact them to ensure its gone to...

Scarberia with the in-laws first but hoping to blow all my wages (when I get a job!) on an apartment in the beaches area!

It does not appear that Cuba recognises dual citizenship from this article. I would maybe sugget posting on the Havana thread as I am sure this is relatively common occurence, someone may be able to offer you more specific advice...

That would make sense!

I'll be sweating all summer and freezing all winter ;D

Sounds good to me hopefully you won't have any problems!

This one confused me, if she already had her landing interview does not that mean she already has her PR through her previous relationship, and how could she then withdraw the application as I thought this was the last step for inland apps? Also given she didn't mention the breakdown in the...

Presuming you are a Canadian citizen then your baby will qualify for Canadian citizenship when he/she is born. You need to apply for the babies citizenship certificate first, here is the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certif.asp Once they have the citizenship...

Ottawa appear a bit more strict about 'proof of return' as we found out. If you do get asked for more the best advice I got was to write a detailed plan about your intentions to move back and try and supplement this with actual intent. For example if you need qualifications recognised in Canada...

That's what I thought, ah well I'll just count my blessings it's done, quicker we get to Toronto the better, bloody snowing in Edinburgh this week!

@Andrew - When we contacted the MP the assistant told us she contacts the ottawa office as it is the 'head office' rather than contacting the actual visa office processing the app (although we were processed in Ottawa) Im not sure if I maybe misinterpreted her but that's what I remember he...

The website states it's updated once a week on a Tuesday but many people report ecas updating at various times during the week and sometimes at weekends. I know it's frustrating but try not to check too many times otherwise it drives your crazy, I tried to check once every few days!

As noted as long as your police check is valid when CIC recieve the application that's all you need to do. They are valid for 3 months from date of issue! EDIT: I see this has now changed credit to Canuck_in_uk and Ponga for posting its now valid for 6 months.

Just to add to what everyone else was saying about outland if you are lucky enough to be one of those whose application gets kept in Mississagua for the whole process rather than being sent to London you could have your PR in as little as 4-5 months. Some of those who applied in December 2014...
