You will have to check with your car insurance company but mine (In Alberta also) allows any licensed driver over the age of 25 to drive my car with my permission, and I am still covered even if I'm not in the vehicle. Like Ponga said, she can't come to Canada with all of her stuff until after...

I believe the one you would be issued based on applying inland is for 3 years, but they just changed the rules Dec 22 so don't quote me on that.

Just send in the page that you got in the mail, it does not say "original" anywhere on it. At least not on mine :) The "Option C Printout" is what the document is called but you must give them the version you received from the CRA, not a photocopy as photocopies can be easily altered.

Since she lives in the US, and not with you in Canada, you must apply outland. Make sure you filled out the correct forms as the requirements are different for inland and outland. I believe you just leave the address as it is on the website and include that you are applying outland on the cover...

On the CIC website, I found this in the FAQ: My husband comes from a visa exempt country. We are trying to figure out whether applying inland is better for us or not - it would definitely allow us to close the gap between us faster with this new 4 month OWP pilot program. We are concerned...

One more thing: The second page of this form asks for info on previous sponsorships, etc, but I have none. I am sponsoring my husband only and he is the only person I will ever sponsor - so that entire page is left blank. Is it safer to include that blank page when I send the application or can...

She cheated on you, and is now threatening you with refusal to divorce if you don't give her the COPR. That's essentially blackmail... but you're in luck, because she doesn't have any ground to stand on. The good thing is, in Canada, you don't need her permission to divorce! She doesn't even...

Ok! So I only have to update them after I am approved as a sponsor? How do I do that? Would I mail it, or is there a space online that I can edit once they receive the application?

There is a space on the application forms (which form exactly escapes me right now) where they ask about the circumstances of your marriage. Since it was an arranged marriage (I assume), you will have to indicate that on the form. You won't be denied outright for having an arranged marriage but...

I quit my job recently to travel to my husband's country (Austria) and live with him there for 3 months while we worked through our visa paperwork. Now that I have returned to Canada, our application is ready to send except for one detail.. On the IMM5481 form it asks about my employment...

Ok thank you so much!

Huh. That's something new I had never heard of.. now I'm a little concerned that he may have accidentally overstayed before... The way I understood it was that it was a maximum 6 months in a 12 month period.. If he had overstayed somehow they would have mentioned it when he returned to Canada...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I think what I will do, is keep our timeline in there but simply write "refer to photographs section, pages x-x" and "refer to communications section for samples, pages x-x" for the corresponding dates. I do have one more question - often when we were visiting...

My husband's country of nationality (Austria) has a mandatory 6 month military service that he had to do about 8 years ago. The problem is, he can't remember who his commanding officer was and when he called to ask they couldn't tell him either. We've looked everywhere to find any documents from...

Good to know! Unfortunately Austria has a mandatory 6 month military service rule, I hope that doesn't slow our process down too much. He learned how to drive a tank, did a training course, and then was done basically. He couldn't even remember who his commanding officer was.. and when he called...

We could also hypothetically apply through Paris since he has dual citizenship in France and Austria, I think - but he would have to move back to France then which would only prolong our process. I see you have landed in Calgary! I am from Medicine Hat, not too far from you at all. I am picking...

Oops! Yes, I forgot to mention, we got married this past july and have been busy getting our paperwork together since then. We met in person while travelling rather than online or anything like that. Kept it long distance because we both needed to work to be able to afford the intercontinental...

That makes sense! So I could write something like "We visited from date-date, did such and such, see photo pages 1-3" for example?

One more thing - do I need to include all of our skype correspondence? Because there is a lot of it, we are on skype with each other basically 24 hours a day for the last 3 years.. I exported the chat logs into excel and it ended up being something ridiculous like 800 pages. I feel like that's a...

I recently saw a big post where someone showed how they organized their application including pictures. It was really helpful when we were putting our application together but I realized we did our proof of relationship a bit differently and I'm wondering if what we did is ok or if I should...
