To maintain PR you must live in Canada for 2 years out of 5; but if you are accompanying a Canadian Citizen spouse then ur residency outside Canada counts towards ur 2 years to maintain PR status but not towards citizenship; the 1095 days is the days of physical presence u need in Canada to...

Yes; my cousin did it for his parents; they gave them a 8 yr multiple entry visitor visa (not even a Super Visa) while their parental sponsorship was being processed; his mother even lived in Canada for 2 years on that visa through extensions and by that time they became PR; the entire process...

I am pretty sure the requirement is to be TOGETHER and it's not TOGETHER AND IN CANADA; like other people told u, as long as she is with u wherever u go you are respecting condition 51; however u still have the obligation of living in Canada for 2 years in the five year period at any given time...

I have seen some people receiving COPR is 6-7 weeks; so even though u could become PR before it visitor status expires but I would suggest u submit an extension anyways just to be on the safe side... Just my 2 cents!!

Totally on the same page as you Maricac819; I should also suck it up as I have been waiting for 3 months only as well...but as you said, ALL applications should receive fair treatment; they claim that it gets processed in the order it is received *Whatever*....they should align the processing...

I would second what Ponga said; IMHO, I wonder what the benefit of an inland Application would be if you can apply Outland while still being in Canada; Outland is so much faster and has appeal rights just in case your application was denied. Inland does not have any appeal rights and you cannot...

Could be an error on their side; seems really odd because you have already landed... to me a mistake has been made and they just need to be advised that you have already landed... I would give CIC a call and explain the situation ASAP.

Yes! that is correct; any marriages/divorces etc.. regardless of location/time must be disclosed.

I can't believe u r asking this question so openly!!! U r basically telling me, "can I just sponsor my wife so she can immigrate here and once PR divorce her?" That is fraud!! And like other posters, it makes someone like me extremely angry because we all nor have to provide a mountain of...

You should check the September 2014 applicants thread; there are many London applicants on there; on the other hand check out Britishexpats.com, it has a very nice spreadsheets showing all UK applicants timelines; for routine/straight forward cases (which seems to be your case), it'an average of...

Also to answer your earlier question; your COPR validity will coincide with your medical results expiration date (they expire one year after they are done) so depending on how long it takes them to finalize ur case and when u did ur musicals, you will be able to assess how much time you have to...

If you don't mind me asking, could you please share your timeline; when did you apply, when did you get Sponsor Approval? also, do you know for sure you are required to attend an interview?

I think it's fine; I would say you are close to getting approved; just make sure that when you do the landing in Canada, your partner is with you as you don't want them to have the impression that you are not intending to live in Canada after becoming PR. I read on this forum about one person...

@ DANERIN - It's definitely good news! Wow... that was fast! Congrats... I wonder what determines the Visa Office selected... my SA letter said "The visa office selected is based on your relative's home address and the requirements of the IRPA..." I put in the current address my wife and I...

I don't think there are financial requirements that must be met; however, in the Sponsor Approval stage, they will want to see evidence to show how your Sponsor supports herself and will support you eventually. You should go through the guides on CIC's website, it outlines the requirements (if...

I usually select French because it goes faster I think and I speak it too... but in any case, the agents are usually bilingual. So select 1 then 1, and 1 again... basically, you need to get to the option where it says "if you are sponsoring a spouse who currently lives in Canada or from Canada"...

Just did! Thanks! if it wasn't for this forum, all applicants would feel abandoned! Let's keep each other posted and help wherever we can :)

My application was received on 15-Sept

Got the SA this Morning... :D :D :D Here is how it went for me.... called CIC at 8:30 AM and spoke to a kind agent; he went and checked and said that CIC sent me an AOR on 27-Oct; I don't recall seeing anything whatsoever and e-mails from CIC are hard to miss! so I verify the e-mail address...

I have found this forum to be quite useful when it comes to getting a feel of how things go with CIC since they are so non-responsive lol I submitted my application for sponsorship for my wife in September and waiting for the SA. I am a PR and she's british currently here on a visitor status...
