To sum this up, a visa and a permit are totally different things. My partner has received PR and everything went well. Thanks all again!

Hi everyone! I am a Japanes Canadian and applied outland in Japan for sponsorship of my Japanese partner in Decemer 2013. In January 2014, I decided to move back to Vancouver, and she also came along as a visitor to be with me. As you may know, Japan is a visitor visa exempt country. It has...

Thank you for your reply!

Hi everyone, I just moved back to Canada from Japan. My common-law partner has also come with me on a visitor visa, also from Japan. Our OUTLAND application was sent from Japan in December and, just recently, I have been approved as a sponsor. I've sent a request to change my address using the...

Thanks for all the info guys. We just sent ours on December 2nd. It was received as per tracking on December 5th. I'm Canadian (parents are Japanese), she's Japanese (born in Japan). We both met in Canada and then moved to Japan. Been living together for the past couple years and send...

Application received as per tracking on Dec. 5th. Anyone know when CIC is off for the holidays? I'm already assuming they're closed on Sat and Sun.

Visa Office: Manila (for Japan) Meds Done: October 8, 2013 Application Sent: December 2, 2013 Date App CPC-M received as per tracking: December 5, 2013 Good luck everyone!

Thank you for this information!

Yep, will do! I noticed I can't type it in. I'll do it by hand.

In my outland application, both my partner and I are still working or living in the same place still. Is it alright to put in the date fields for example: 2011-11-20 to Present <--? Can I write "present" or the actual date the application was filled out? Thank you.

Thanks for your response. I'll be giving them a call tomorrow.

Alrightey, yeah, I think I'm going to request mine tomorrow as well. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input too. I'll keep that in mind.

I've been living in Japan for the past few years and have been filing my taxes online every season. I'd like to send my application in soon but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience sending theirs in without an Option C printout. I just realized that I may need one to complete my...

I'm wondering about this myself too. I haven't worked or lived in Canada for the past 2 years. Do I need to send in an "Option C Printout" as well? I think it'll take a while until it gets here after I request it.

Thank you for posting this up! I'm sure someone will appreciate it. I was interested in looking for how long it would take to receive the "Option C Printout" and if I really need one if I haven't worked in Canada for the past 2 years. I have filed for each each though. I live in Japan and I'm...

Actually that totally made sense. I'm beginning to think that TRV is not an umbrella term that covers study permits. You're right, it's not a visa! It's a permit. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I agree and feel safe marking it as "no".

I've read this all over the board too.

Hi Everyone, I'm sponsoring my common-law partner but she has a bunch of previously held visas including a rejected student visa 3 years ago where the immigrations officer accused her of trying to stay in Canada for "too long". In SCHEDULE A (BACKGROUND / DECLARATION) for the sponsored person...

Just following up on this topic. My common-law partner and I are applying outland from Japan and then heading to Canada in a couple months. She'll be on visitor and I'll be coming back just as a citizen. Planning to extend visitors visa or heading back to Japan for vacation. From what I've read...
