As it stands today, if you are with your Canadian husband, you don't have to relinquish your PR.

They didn't send most of our proofs back. They kept all of our photographs and most of the letters/cards, but sent back two random Christmas cards from cousins. We thought it was a bit odd, but we weren't really expecting to get anything returned.

Yay! Congratulations! Can you believe we are still in the UK!?!? The sale of our house had taken longer than planned and is admittedly worse than waiting for PR. We will be heading to Toronto. We will be staying with my parents until we buy our own house. When do you plan to make your move?

Re: Inte-company transferee EXTENSION refused.....Urgent. Help. Hold on, if you're an immigration consultant, shouldn't you know how to deal with this sort of thing? If I was paying you, I'd expect a more professional service. I would certainly question your credibility if I found out you...

You can "land" before you make the permanent move. My husband landed in November then almost immediately returned to the UK so we can tie up loose ends here before making the permanent move in a couple months time. You don't even need to provide your B4 at that time. Just explain what your plan...

I totally agree with this. Why should Canada count the time people are there as temp workers or students? They are not permanent residents. Next people are going to start moaning that they can't use their time visiting Canada as a tourist towards their citizenship. The line has to be drawn. At...

This forum needs a "like" button. Congratulations!

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm just curious. If you hate Canada so much, why don't you leave? You think the US took all the nice liveable parts of America? That's funny. Which natural disaster would you prefer to endure? You have your pick of hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods...

I really think this is irrelevant. The OP has stated that the children have had very little contact with their father for 8 years. The ONLY reason their mother should be considering this is to keep future options open for the children. Immigration is HIS choice, not theirs. Let him deal with...

AOR = acknowledgement of receipt. :)

You should receive your AOR anytime. It took us around two weeks to hear from them. Try not to worry just yet.

I believe you need to have about 10 posts on the forum to enable that function.

I would find a way to reprint the forms. If that's not possible, just neatly cross through the error and initial. Make sure the corrected response is legible. It's never a good idea to use correction tape on official documents even with an initial. As truesmile said, validated forms will need...

Send it to Mississauga.

The application specifically says the first meeting. My husband and I wrote down what we exchanged the first time we met. They would not expect you to write a list of every gift exchanged during your relationship as some people have been together for years and the list would be prohibitively long.

I'm Canadian and I sponsored my husband. We sent a copy of the short wallet sized version of my birth certificate. They didn't request anything further, so that must be ok. We got a certified copy of it made, but I think that was probably overkill.

Unless you have a complicated case, I wouldn't bother hiring a lawyer or a consultant. They aren't going to do anything for you that you can't do for yourself. Generally speaking, it's a waste of money unless you are truly stuck.

Woohoo! I knew it would all work out. You are so deserving of this. As far as I know, you just need to take your CoPR and your passport with you. Make sure you get them to write your CoPR number under the stamp. Zardoz said he remembered reading somewhere that others have run into trouble if...

If a fast track existed, we'd all be doing it. The wait sucks.
