    moving from USA to Canada

    Exactly what has been said. You cannot present yourself as going to be living in Canada. You need to travel as you would like you are visiting. I came to Canada with a duffel bag full of clothes, as well as my laptop. I am in process of my sponsorship application now. (However we are common law...

    imm5532

    No, a 2.5 week visit is not living together. Living together would be co-habitating in the same domicile continuously/ sharing the same address etc. Since you are not living together you answer the questions as they are. on the 5532 form. You answer no, and it specifically states "If no, tell...

    I sent just copies, however that is all that was required of me when using the checklist/forms/instructions guide. Just double check if there is anything country specific for you and your spouse. (it will say certified copies(if they are needed to be) as well)...

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    It doesn't take 6 weeks for sms, I think the person replying jumped the gun on their answer and didn't read "sms confirmation." "Great news!The IRCC mailroom got your family class sponsorship package. You'll get a letter or e-mail from IRCC once processing starts." That text came in the same...

    Common law PR checklist?

    The two documents are specifically co-habitation, and this is what you HAVE to prove. Other mails as stated by canuck_in_uk would be great. Even if they aren't joint accounts. Anything to the same address like utilities, even cell phone bills, or credit card statements. Just need to make sure...

    You can input your information, and have them fill out the rest for the 1344. 5532 Is sponsor only. (In all honesty I filled out all the paperwork and we both went over it to ensure no errors and then signed everything) Make sure the sponsor signs where they need to, and PA signs where they...

    Common law PR checklist?

    No she means that "Under the law of canada (just) one year qualifies" not "we will be just under one year" However what is said is right, you cannot apply one day sooner than that one year has passed. On a side note you need proof dating to when you moved in together. (This is the most...

    Common law sponsorship HELP PLEASE

    Sounds like you have a lot of the proof you will need. Her mom can sign that letter saying you've been living together in the basement, that is a good idea. However, She could draft it up as a rental agreement as well (even if you pay nothing) so its like a lease, and have both of you sign it as...

    Application returned

    I am surprised that they even gave you a time frame to be honest. Nowhere in the information that they sent back does it say I have to have it back to them in 30 days. My information specifically told me what they wanted corrected, and that my application will be entered into the system queue...

    Getting birth control in Canada?

    My walk in appointment in Manitoba was $65. They actually didn't charge me for my follow up appointment either, but they were aware that I am in the middle of waiting for PR. It was also cheaper to just pay the $65 than to deal through travelers insurance. (would depend on yours if you do have...
