Hi all...So I have a question that baffles me a bit... Although the IMM 5409 is not required if our application does not have a co-signer, is it still fine if we provide this declaration under sponsor's supporting documents (civil status documents)? I don't want to get into issues if I...

That is so great to hear. I tend to be paranoid about these things haha. We are compiling everything this weekend so it is quite exciting. Does anyone know anything about statutory declaration of common-law union? It used to be a requirement but I dont see the form on the new checklist (IMM 5409)

Hi, cponsor is citizen living outside of Canada and we intend on moving to Canada. I just wanted some examples of the way I can organize our application, since CIC says to put barcodes on top in one place, and in other places they say it should go second. I know that it's not too big of a deal...

Gonna take a wild chance at luck here, but let's see... we are almost ready to submit our application and will send to Sydney NS after which the application will be transferred back to Pretoria. We are both applying from South Africa (common-law) and have heard horror stories about the dreaded...

Hi I'd like to ask a question regarding new CIC regulations and forms - can we put our proof of relationship in a separate folder than supporting documents? Since supporting documents are PCC, Birth Certificates etc. Also, we both are outland and need to provide proof of plans to settle in...

Hi all, So we are finally in the process of organizing our application to courier it. Now I know this question that I am about to ask has been asked and answered many times, but I can only find old information and CIC has changed the way we need to organize our applications. According to my...

Hi all, After doing tons of research on the forum, I think we finally have enough topics to prove the sponsor's intent to move to Canada once PR is granted. I would like to know, since there are now restrictions on the number of documents/pages we can submit for proof of relationship - is there...

Thanks :)

Hi all, We are currently gathering relationship support letters from our friends and family members (parents from both sides as well as our sisters, cousins etc.) We are applying outland (both of us outside Canada) and therefore we also need to prove intentions to reside in Canada once PR is...

Wow thanks for all the replies guys, its really nice to know that there is such a great community here. I thought that common-law requires two notarized letters (statutory declarations), will revisit the rules. I was thinking too much proof rather than too little will be better, but it makes...

Hi guys, We are finally in the stages of compiling our application for my permanent residency after saving enough to keep ourselves afloat for the first few months upon arriving. Quick background - we both live outside of Canada (fiancee is Canadian by descent) and she is sponsoring me for PR...

Sorry for the question if it has been asked - but if you have lived with someone for more than a year why cant they sponsor you? Isnt this common-law? Or dies it have to do with not declaring it when he applied for his PR? Thanks

We are also from South Africa, in the same boat. Canada does not have a fiance visa, so they have inland applications and open work permits in place; but to get into the country it seems as though you have to be untruthful at the border. I do not understand the logic behind it, as it makes it...

Hi guys, I am sorry if this has been asked before, but me and my fiance plan on moving to Canada (we have been saving and planning for a few years now). We are considering inland since proving intent to return to Canada can be daunting (so I've read). My question - if I apply for a TRV, I want...

Hi, was the screenshots and letter enough to prove intent? We will also add a letter form a friend where we arranged to live and rent a basement once we arrive. Also will provide letters from both our employers (since we disclosed our intention to move to Canada). TIA :)

I know this post is old, but did you manage to figure out whether an unabridged is necessary? I also need to start my application (in South Africa), and as you know the Dept. of Home Affairs is a nightmare to get anything from. Will a normal certificate suffice? TIA

Hi canadianwoman. Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. The main issue we are dealing with is not splitting households (paying dual rent, and other costs that we currently share) otherwise, it would have been easier for her to move to Canada. Our only alternative, if failed, is to move...

Thanks so much for responding, we will add letters from our parents that agreed to help us with some extra savings each month. We figured having around 15k in savings would be fine, since we wont be unemployed for long (at least that is what we pray for) should we target min. wage jobs (since I...

Hi guys, I hope everyone is well! Just a quick question, are there any of you who had to provide proof of intention and might give some insight on how we can be successful? We have read a lot of mixed responses, so we are not entirely sure whether we would even be considered. Our case is as...

Thanks guys. The company sorts out the visas etc., it is only a holiday job (temporary) for one year. Basically the same type of job like those who work on cruise ships etc. They responded and said they only employ people in America though, after their website clearly states Canada. Anyways, we...
