Seeing as your partner is from a country that allows them to get an eTA, you're 100% looking at rejection for conjugal partnership. I honestly think you're better off withdrawing your application now. As for getting the eTA, there shouldn't be any problem there. My husband came and visited me...

Yes, it's normal for previous biometrics to show up initially, and yes you're correct, she'll have to do it again for her PR application. They'll send a request through for her at some point!

There should be a set of instructions that tells you what you need to do. If the PA is from a visa exempt country, you will only need a photocopy of the passport. Otherwise, yes, you will need to physically send your passport. I think that where you send it to will depend on where you live -- my...

I would recommend showing photos documenting your whole relationship. My husband and I, while only married since last year, have been together since 2008. We tried to cover that whole time span, and made sure to prioritise photos that showed us with friends, each other's family, and on trips...

As stated before, you don't necessarily have to land at the same time as the applicant, but one of the requirements of sponsorship is that you have to demonstrate intention to move to Canada if you don't live there at the time of applying. If you can't prove you will be moving to Canada, your...

We submitted the payment on 30th April and didn't get the request until 21st June, so be prepared to wait up to a couple of months.

Honestly I don't know, I think you should probably try getting in touch with the VAC where you are going to do your biometrics and ask them. They'll be able to give you a more informed answer!

Do you mean the request letter? I was going to suggest you print a new one out, but I looked at your past messages and saw you received it by post. I'd try calling CIC and explaining, and maybe trying to get your online account connected to help speed up the correspondence.

COPR has been issued and is in the post. Cried a little bit when my husband told me! We can finally make his travel arrangements. I am hoping for smooth processing for everyone in this thread, thanks for the support!

No worries! We wondered the same, thought maybe we qualified for conjugal, but then realised that we absolutely did not. So we got married, and all went through okay! Good luck going forward.

Stuff like a signed lease showing both of your names as tennants at the same address, bills in both of your names, both of your IDs showing the same address, etc. You'd also need to prove that you share finances, so things like joint bank accounts or proof of transferring funds between your...

You can sponsor a common law partner for outland sponsorship too! You just need to be able to show you've been living together continuously for a year. It sounds like that isn't feasible in the OP's case though, so marriage is still the best bet for them.

Again, that question isn't really something that could be answered by anyone here, unless there's a user with extensive knowledge of Brazilian family law. It sounds like you're in a really awful situation, and I hope it gets resolved in a way that is best for your son. I'm surprised that a...

Hey, that's great though, another step closer!

Oof, then I am really worried for the OP :(

This might be an issue beyond the scope of this forum, I think you probably want to consult a family lawyer or something. It's more of a child custody issue than an immigration issue at this point.

I would seriously consider getting yourself some emergency travel insurance and making sure it covers pregnancy. You want to be sure you're okay should you have any complications.

There really isn't anything for you to do, it can take a week or two for them to send out the passport request email. If it helps put your mind at ease, your landing papers will have an expiry date on them that's a year from the date your medical was passed, so there will be time if you need to...

Check the website for the addresses, it will tell you the one to use for outland applications sent by courier. As I recall, they mention not to use binders or anything, but paperclips are fine. I used paperclips to make three different "bundles" for our application. First I put the checklist and...

Based on what I've seen people say on the forums, I would take every bit of information you get from the call center with a huge grain of salt. Half the time, it seems like the info they provide is wrong. I don't think the agents really have much access to info about applications. That's not to...
