Also - have you lived sometimes in the past with your partner for 12 months? If yes, you are considered a common-law couple, and must declare her/him as your spouse BEFORE landing. If you have lived with your partner for 12 months, and land as single, you are excluding your partner from ever...

if your visa was granted as single, you should land as single, get married then sponsor your spouse. If you get married before landing and still land as single you will NEVER be allowed to sponsor your spouse. There might be a way to get married first, then add your spouse to your PR BEFORE...

There is nothing preventing you from filing an inland AND an outland application at the same time, as far as I'm aware. Your inland application is cancelled as you were denied entry. If you want to file outland, I think you can go ahead, start preparing your file, and explain why you choose to...

The answer is... it depends! and you might need to do both.... Are you a Canadian citizen because you were born in Canada or naturalized ? or did you get your Canadian citizenship because your parents were Canadian, but you are not born in Canada? based on that, your baby might already be...

1 - extension of a temporary resident status should be the one. 2 - yes, correct. You can put something like " applied for PR, waiting out the process in Canada together with my spouse". 3 - yes - you can elaborate a little, but also - make sure you include the proofs that you have applied for...

If you're a US citizen, you could also look into NAFTA (google will tell you all about it) - it's a good option for US citizen, and might get you a work permit quite fast.

If you're clear about the situation, it shouldn't affect your application in any way - rather the contrary. You could just say that you had applied for spousal sponsorship and was granted PR, but your marriage broke down, and you decided not to land as a PR and apply on your own. It would show...

Regardless of that - don't land. See my previous post about the fact that you would be committing misrepresentation, and that most likely, by the sound of it, your wife might have informed CIC of your impending divorce, and might have withdrawn her sponsorship.

Hey, you can submit your application with your current passport. Just write a note on it somewhere (on the photocopy for example) that you are aware that the passport is expiring soon, and you will be renewing it. Once you have the renewed passport, send a copy to your VO (London if I'm not...

If you haven't landed as a PR yet, then don't. Your PR is based on the relationship with your wife, so if you land now when you are already going through separation/divorce, you would be lying and committing mis-representation. If CIC finds out, then your PR will be taken away, and there is a...

it's difficult to answer.... where are you from? when you will be filing for sponsorship? do you have a job to go back to in your own country? are you going to be traveling with a lot of luggage (aka a u-haul or a car full, or only flying with a suitcase)? etc - there are many questions to have...

2 weeks is nothing, you'll be fine. What they want to avoid is people getting their PR, and then living separate lives. It's obviously not your case - you are traveling before her, and she has a good reason to stay behind - and you still have a common address etc. Don't worry about it! :-) Sweden

Quite a few files from ISL have been transferred to London, there is a thread if you want to join http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-immigration-file-transferred-to-london-office-from-islamabad-t171377.0.html so you can get an idea. As it's fairly new, it will...

yes - you can leave the Korean address for now, and change it later. As long as there is somebody there to receive any mail, you can leave the address, and change it later to your Canadian one. Or - since you can differentiate between the sponsor's address and the applicant one, you can put...

Try a different riding... some MPs are willing to send enquiries even before the time is up, so it's always worth a try...

Correct.

It's a tricky question... because you're already in Canada, so you've proved that indeed you intend to settle in... but opportunities are presenting themselves elsewhere. If you've been approved already as a sponsor (well, your partner), most likely you won't be ask for more proofs of willing...

Since London hasn't asked for anything, there is a good chance that it's positive (unless you have a totally unreasonable application!). So...the COPR should just show up anytime now at your door :-) Congratulations! what an excellent way to find out... You can send a case-specific enquiry...

If you have a court marriage followed by a ritual marriage in a temple, and a small party, and you can explain why you went for a small party instead of a big one, it would make it more acceptable - note that it's not a guarantee and the length of courtship etc. is also a factor, but you have a...

New Delhi VO is quite strict about marriages, and your application will be scrutinized heavily if you marry on the first visit and only have a court marriage - they will question why you didn't have a "full Indian wedding" with lots of guests etc. as usually done traditionally. If you have lots...
