Hello all, after experiencing payment problems we found a way of calling CIC from outside Canada via a conference call with a relative inside Canada. We were told by the guy that there is a 'glitch' in the online payment system and CIC have been receiving "hundreds and hundreds of calls" about...

Thanks Malirca, good suggestion - it worked right up to the very last step but then instead of putting us on hold, it disconnected us :(

Yep, Mississauga. We really have no idea why this is happening. Grrrrr.

Hi all, finally ready to submit the application (outland) but when we try to pay (with a Canadian VISA card) it keeps saying "payment failed". We've contacted RBC and they say all is fine at their end so the problem is with CIC. Of course, from outside Canada you cannot contact CIC. Anyone...

My wife is the Canadian citizen sponsoring me - she's lived and worked permanently in the UK since 2006. I assume that a note stating this and including her latest P60 (UK annual tax summary) will be sufficient instead of an "Option C printout"? She still keeps a Canadian bank account and...

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. I managed to convince myself briefly that she needed police certs and 8 photos etc., but of course she does not! Cheers.

Hi guys, quick question, but an important one to make sure I've understood... We're married, I'm British, she's Canadian and sponsoring me and we both live in the UK at present, with no children. Under "Details of Family Members" can I clarify that I do NOT include my wife, on the basis that...

Thanks guys for the responses there - very helpful. Someone told me that once I've landed and been admitted as a permanent resident I could have problems re-entering Canada if I leave again before receiving my PR card in the mail. I have relatives though which is where my initial address in...

We both live and work in the UK and my wife will sponsor me in my application which we will submit outland next month. Once the application is granted, and you have 'landed', what happens next? I hope to apply for jobs in Canada from the UK in the period between the application being granted...

Ok, here's a question I'm hoping some may have insights on: so suppose I get my medical done next month and submit the application outland (we both currently live and work in the UK) right afterwards. I understand that Mississauga will send it to the London VO once my wife is approved as my...

Thanks everyone - good clear answers to my question. Sounds like you have the same dilemma JenB - good luck with it, whilst sod's law says it will be awkward, I'm sure it'll all straighten out for you. A year from now you'll be laughing about this! As I haven't submitted yet, I don't know if...

We will be submitting a spousal sponsor application shortly, outland from the UK (I'm British, she's Canadian, we're married and both currently live and work in the UK); however from the typical timings there is a chance that the request for passport may come around christmas time - when we are...

Thanks again Fleo - I am actually able to gain provisional membership of the Canadian equivalent of my professional association without being a Canadian resident - hopefully that should help too, or are they only interested in my wife's efforts at job hunting and my wife's work/financial...

Thanks everybody for your replies. As we are both outside of Canada can you confirm it's Mississauga we have to apply to? Also, with reference to Fleo's comments I assume the convincing CRC of the sponsor's intention to settle back in Canada comes in the form of whatever "supporting documents"...

We are married and both working "permanently" in the UK. She is a Canadian citizen, I am English, and we want to move back to Canada in the near future as all her family are still there. However, the spousal sponsor system doesn't seem to allow much time for coming to Canada once the visa has...
