Had you provided all the relationship proof with your original application or not? I thought it was rare that British citizens get called for an interview :)

Congrats!! U must be relieved! All the best with landing and moving to Canada! Btw, do u know what could have possibly triggered an interview in ur case? Thx for ur input!

That's rodiculous.... I think the residence calculator doesn't even accept day trips which would result in an absence of 0 days!!! It seems these folks at CIC hand out CIT-0520 randomly without any reasonable/logical grounds! This is frustrating!

The parents/grandparents quota is a maximum number of applications they can take per year; and yes u r right when u say spousal sponsorship does not have a cap however visa offices must issue a certain number of visas on a given year under each class which is why I think u see some applications...

You seem to be on the right track... I feel u really don't need a lawyer for this; ur case seems straight forward... Most forum members here did not hire a lawyer and there are very experienced people on this forum that can answer majority of questions u may have! These days the medicals can be...

The condition to be in a relationship for two years minimum after becoming PR was introduced in October 2012 so doesn't apply to you; and anyways you were together for a bit more than 2 years so you are fine... If you have been living here for 3 years in the last four then nobody can prevent you...

Did you get sponsored by your ex-wife to come to Canada or you came on your own under another program and eventually got married in Canada? Just trying to understand your situation so you can tackle the concerns CIC may have; because if you were sponsored as a spouse and are now separated after...

Yes mine said medicals received as soon as my husband got SA; I.e I logged into e-cad using the file number on the SA and I could see that medicals had been received; but I had done them in July so it might be the time that medicals were done that dictate when they r received

Great!! Our timelines are very similar and mine went to London as well; hoping to see "In-Process" soon.

Just make sure u have a onwards ticket to Winnipeg if in case they question u.

When you move from quebec to anywhere else it usually isn't a problem but going from anywhere else to QC might be an issue because u require the CSQ for quebec;

He is on implied status in Canada so no worries there; just carry proof that you applied for an extension just in case but I highly doubt they will ask; you can ask to be "refused" entry into the U.S.; no stamps, no records whatsoever, it's a very standard practice that US folks are used to...

Amazing!! Congrats! I think u beat the Mississauga folks timeline! Good luck with everything!!

As everyone said; it is unlikely they cross check that... Lesson planted for the future: just be honest! U won't need to worry or overthink stuff!

Kind of unlikely... However, please just ALWAYS tell the truth; it's not a crime to be in a relationship and coming to visit that person.... So much better to say straight up; I was pulled for secondary as well but I clearly gave my husbanb's name, DOB, and I said that we WILL apply for PR once...

Some great responses from everyone; no hard feelings canuck_in_uk; I may have spoken out of passion and hope didn't offend u; at the end of the day, we r all on a journey with CIC and want to successfully start our lives with our spouses and this forum is meant to provide/guidance and support...

Well said :) rational and logical! Thanks for not being emotional!!

Just a question for which I would like to have your thoughts... I was just browsing through copies of my forms that I submitted for sponsorship and realized I made a mistake in one of the dates on IMM-5490 (question no 1 - date when u made the first contact with ur sponsor?) I put in 10-Dec-2014...

You are an immigrant whether u like it or not... If u were born in Canada then ur ancestors Immigrated to Canada; and stop making it sound like being an immigrant makes one inferior in any way...it doesn't at all! When PR's become citizens they r just as Canadian as u r in fact even when they r...

I don't agree with that view at all; I came to Canada as an international student by myself; studied here for 8 years and paid a high fees as a foreign student; then I started working right after graduating with a work permit, then got a PR and have been working since full time, paid taxes...
