    Marriage deterioriated after landing

    Wouldn't this be a case of "abuse/neglect" by the sponsor though? If the sponsored person informs CIC, even if they have conditional PR, they could be allowed to stay in Canada because it is not their fault they were misled.

    Yeah, their link doesn't work...you'd think they'd update it seeming it's a pretty important document. See if this works: http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186-eng.pdf

    I received CoPR on Monday from Ottawa office, it was honestly very quick (both the CoPR and entire process) neither of us were expecting it.

    FEBRUARY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hi everyone, Began packing yesterday, filled out b4 of what categories I have so far and created an Excel sheet with a more detailed list. Would recommend starting on this beforehand if possible for anyone with DM or expecting it soon. Is it necessary that I include a Customs Declaration...

    FEBRUARY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    After some contemplation and discussion, we've decided to complete the landing this weekend rather than waiting. My personal belongings aren't too many anyway, so filling out b4 shouldn't be an issue. Will let you all know how it goes. :)

    "Decision Made"

    Mine showed the same thing, I don't think it's changed yet. But I received CoPR today and it included an approval letter. It showed DM on the 28th and ended up with CoPR just a few days after. They had actually approved me on the 25th but just didn't update ecas right away. You'll get the...

    I checked the mail around 2pm and it was there, but our mail lady usually comes earlier than that so it was probably there a bit before I checked :D

    CoPR Question

    Hi all, I received my CoPR in the mail today. My question is: I already had intentions to visit my husband and stay with him this coming Saturday, just as a visit. We have an important religious holiday coming up that we need to prepare for, and it's also relatively short notice to try to...

    FEBRUARY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Received my COPR in the mail today! I figured it wouldn't take long seeming Michigan isn't very far. It's valid until January of next year, one year from the date I completed my medical. Now, a quick question: I was already planning to visit my husband this Saturday (taking bus across...

    Tax question

    What if the US spouse isn't working? Would they still have to file taxes with their (Canadian) spouse's income? I feel this is definitely going to be a huge headache come 2017.

    Tax question

    Would you include the Canadian income on the return? I'm confused as to what exactly you would even have to declare if you weren't working/living in US, though I figured as much.

    I haven't received it yet, but it should be conditional. But yes, outland with Ottawa.

    CPP-Ottawa

    Quick question, As we know conditional PR applies to spouses married less than 2 years with no common children. Does CIC count the time you were married but not living together? Next month is my husband and I's one year wedding anniversary, is that going to count towards the 2 years or nah...

    New PR Law regarding spousal sponsorship coming into effect soon?

    I always thought by immediate PR they just meant there would be no conditional PR....

    APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    My medical was almost 600$ USD total (Dr. charged a 200$ fee for his services...he did hardly anything..plus hospital fees for x ray etc). My health insurance only paid like 60$ max, hah.

    Ecas says Decision made but when clicking on status I don't see any more details

    Mine doesn't say any further information either when I click on the link and I received DM a few days ago. Not really expecting much from ECAS anymore lol.

    MARCH 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Since it's Ottawa VO he won't receive an e-mail as many others do. Rather, a third line will be added to his side saying when they started processing the application, and this counts as your AOR2. Your side (sponsor) will stay as "in process" throughout, even when his (applicant) is changed to...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Don't know if this will be helpful, but my husband (Canadian) has an American Express credit card and it's really useful when he visits the U.S. or makes online payments. It seems to be pretty widely accepted now-days.
