You will be financially responsible for your boyfriend for three years after he lands as a permanent resident. Sponsoring is designed for common-law partners who live in a marriage like relationship. Referring to your partner as a boyfriend vs a spouse or partner does not bode well for the...

I am not aqua kitty, but I'll take a stab at this: I *think* simply explaining that you were in a long distance relationship, explaining how you communicated and how frequently *should* be sufficient. Concentrate on visits too, and show CIC that despite being in a long distance relationship...

You can go to the border and do what is called flagpole-ing. I believe you can go up to the Canadian side and let them know your intent. You don't physically need to cross if I remember correctly. We decided to make a quick trip of it into the US on a long weekend, but since you're in...

We did not have a rental agreement, we did have proof of the same address: ie mail addressed to both of us at the same address, and separate mail to the same address, and our address listed on our tax returns which were filed as common-law. I own the house separate from my spouse as I bought...

Agreed with many other posters. My Partners PR is subject to Condition 51 despite having been a relationship for nearly five years as we only lived under the same roof for two of those 4.5 years prior to applying. His work visa kept him in a town that was 350 km away, he used my house as home...

awesome news :D :D :D

totally unrelated to this thread, but there are lots of gurus here: How does one unsubscribe from a thread? i.e. I no longer want to seen new posts in a thread I commented in. :) :D Cheers thanks guys

Theres a London UK thread too, and a UK spreadsheet in my signature link. Ottawa is quick 7 -ish months I believe.

18 photos with maximized quality. We didnt have many together either, but had some at family functions holidays etc showing myself and my partner with various family members, and in different parts of the world.

Based on everything you've posted you and your new boyfriend need to focus on being a couple a while before you worry about residency. Go to Australia as planned and just be together. If after a year (as you said), you and he decide that your relationship is going to work, and Canada is where...

It looks like Rome is the processing office for Cyprus, I am guessing you are in Cyprus based on your avatar. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/rome.asp Responsible for Permanent Resident Applications from: (Includes Self-employed, Start-up visa, Quebec-selected...

The date seems alarming to me personally, but the request of additional passport photos isn't unheard of or unreasonable, nor is requesting passport copies again. From what I read, that can be fairly standard operating procedure. These requests came as a PDF for us, all of the required pages...

eh I guess its mindset. I haven't referred to my partner as my boyfriend for eons. He's more than that and has been for years. I usually spouse or partner, or just by his name to people who know us. It is important (as others said, including bigredmoose) that you get used to referring to him as...

Partner/ Common Law Partner Spouse Significant Other Definitely not a boyfriend.

\ Congratulations!

I'm sorry you took it as blaming you. I wasn't. I was hoping to start a dialogue so that other people reading this thread and this forum could potentially benefit from it. I don't see where I was absolving CIC from the blame of losing your application. I actually said the opposite if you...

am I the only one who feels Mariac819's application was a bit overkill? I understand trying to prove your relationship, but can you imagine being a caseworker trying to review 500+ pages? I am not making excuses for CIC and them losing your proof of relationship twice is ridiculous, but I can...

You two are living in the same house and same room and they don't know about your relationship? That doesn't make any sense at all. I would suggest you both be adults and actually have your relationship out in the open instead of hiding it from people you are living with and renting from...

You really need to get a joint lease letter or something. Even if your friend whom you are renting off of drafts up a rental agreement with your common law partner and yourself named on it from the date you started living together. I would also get your letters notarized as well.

congratulations!
