Hi all, This is not very clear to me. My girlfriend is Canadian and she is sponsoring me. Other than the forms, the Option C and proof of her employment, do we have to submit something else? I'd assume a copy of her passport? Are there any mandatory certificates we should send in too? (i.e...

I believe that a positive LMO means that the employer is allowed to hire a foreign worker, they don't really check if you meet the job requirements. My LMO was in the IT industry. The officer called me to the desk a few times during the process to ask me for some clarifications on the papers I...

Hi, I was just asking the POE cause I was told that the time depends on how many people will be there before you. I agree that the actual time to process all the papers is pretty much the same everywhere. I think I was kind of lucky cause there weren't many people at all. I have no idea how busy...

You should tell which port of entry. I did it at Lewiston-Queenston bridge, Niagara Falls. Took me a couple of hours

Thanks compujtergeek. The reason I'm asking is because my girlfriend and I (she is sponsoring me) are going to send our application this week. And we are also planning to visit my family in Italy at the end of May. My main concern is that they could schedule an interview eventually, so that's...

So, since I am in Canada on a TWP, even if I apply outland, are there any chances I could be interviewed in Canada eventually?

Sorry, what do you mean "in the field"?

Hi everyone, Can anyone that had to do the interview applying outland tell me when they were called, after sending application and getting the sponsor approved? Does it change based on the Embassy? In my case I'm going through Rome, but I'd like to get an idea from any other interview. PS: And...

Hi all, Applying for PR, under common-law, when they say: Provide any additional details of your current relationship That you believe would help to prove your relationship is genuine and continuing. My girlfriend and I have visited each other for about 5-6 years and we have so many pictures of...

That makes sense! Thank you once again :)

Thank you! I had another related question some time ago about the IMM0008: I was told I have to list only my dependants (i.e. children, and not my parents or siblings): does that mean if I don't list my parents there I won't be able to sponsor them in the future?

Hi all, I'm filling in the IMM3901 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3901e.pdf for West Europe. It's asking to include: And at the bottom it says: I'm not sure what the mean by family members. I went on trips with my girlfriend (who is sponsoring me), and she also went on other...

Thanks! If you won't mind I'll ask another question. So I'm filling in the IMM3901 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3901e.pdf for West Europe. It's asking to include: And at the bottom it says: I'm not sure what the mean by family members. I went on trips with my girlfriend (who...

Hi canadianwoman, and thanks for your help. Another doubt I have about this form is: should I write that we'll eventually get married in a few years or so? I mean, would the VO think that then I should just apply after the marriage or something?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yeah I understand they are required, but what are exactly "statutory declarations"? I'm kind of cofused

Also, I just noticed this on the guide: Also provide details of the history of your relationship and at least two statutory declarations from individuals with personal knowledge of your relationship supporting your claim that the relationship is genuine and continuing. What's a statutory...

Thanks to all of you! So would it also makes sense to get a notarized letter from my parents (in Italy) saying they'll support us? Does it matter that the notary office is italian? Is it also worth to attach some declaration letters (not notarized) from other family and friends?

I just booked today too, and I was told to bring 4 passport photos and my passport. After the exam they'll send the results to the CIC and give me a copy of IMM 1017 to attach to my application

Thank you for being so specific! So in my case, I believe I should list our visits there, because they were 1 to 3 months long and we were living together, not just somewhere on vacation for a couple of weeks. Am I wrong? :S

Hi all, once again I need the forum's help. I was told to get the following letters notarized to help prove my common-law status: Affidavit from the parents stating you have been living with my girlfriend in a conjugal relationship in their house for at least a year Notarized letters from...
