Hi Expectant Father, Firstly, congratulations! This forum is actually for people going the opposite way to you, coming from Aus to Can, so you may not get many replies. I have no idea about the prospective marriage visa for Aus, but I would suggest that if you are eligible for the second work...

Thanks Bagel!! Your awesome.

Hey bagelbagel, This is the link to the June spreadsheet. I noticed on theirs they had links to April and May for easy reference. I was just wondering if your would mind adding the link somewhere on ours so we can keep an eye on how June is going. Just to save anyone else who is doing...

Coutts is the one i was referring to as being terrible. There are many other much smaller crossings in alberta which are fine. If there is anything slightly complicated with your situation avoid Coutts at all costs.

Hi Choo, Firstly, I have been told many times by people in various degrees of authority that applying for PR does not place you on implied status, even if you are already here on a WP. Implied status is gained when you are applying for an extension of something you already have, i.e work...

I am from NZ, but have lived in Calgary for the last 3 years. My app was received July 5th, so I am a few months behind you. I have heard very good things about Sydney processing, some applications have been completed in less than two months!

Good luck Figgy! I am sure it will be processed by then, but if not there are a few sneaky ways of extending his WHV for just a few months. He can apply for a change of status to visitor. It will mean he can't work once it is processed and approved, however it can take a few months to process...

Hey misskay, yes I have been through a few WPs and WP issues. I am only a few months into my new two-year WP, and I submitted my PR app earlier this month, so hopefully will not need to go down the WP and LMO road again!! That's great that your application for status change was received. It...

Apart from what is listed in the guide about not being behind on a court ordered payment such as child maintenance, or a previous immigration debt, I never saw anything about the sponsor not being eligible if they have other debts. Can anyone please provide any information whether tax or...

I am not sure about inlanders, but for outlanders you DO need to maintain status. Whether it is WP or Visitor depends on the individuals situation. To misskay, yes submit an application to have your status changed to visitor BEFORE your WP expires. This will put you into implied status as long...

Sweden, I think you meant common law, instead of conjugal in your reply. Small typo, but just wanted to clarify for OP I also think you would be able to apply as common law, as long as you gather as much documentation as possible and explain why you did not have a lease in Australia. Also, do...

Hi misskay, I am also in Alberta on a WP. When my DL expired last year I had to provide them with my new WP to get my licence renewed. I got the impression that if I did not have my new WP then I would not be able to renew my DL. I am not sure if there is a way around this when PR is in...

Hi PMM, Where did you get this information?

I am not sure how it works to re-apply for the work permit while PR is in process as part of the criteria of a WP is that you must prove you will leave Canada when the WP is finished. Also, to get a new WP she will need to get a new LMO - which as I am sure she already knows can be difficult and...

Outland for sure! She can continue on her work permit until it expires. If she does not have PR by then but it is close, there is a sneaky way to extend it. Simply apply for a restoration of visitors status. As long as the application is received before her WP expires then she will be on...

I had my medicals done in March, app sent in July... so I think I might take that from you! I had mine done for my work permit as I work with children, and then I had to wait for my LMO and work permit to come through before I could send in my PR app. On a side note, there is an extension...

Sent it on July 3rd. Thanks!

Can I please be added to the spreadsheet App received by CPC-M: July 5th VO for 2nd Stage: Sydney, Australia Medical done: March 16 Thanks!

I just took the photo specs into costco photo centre and they did it all for me. they had no problems but they get it all the time (i am in canada). Costco charged $6.50 for each pair of photos, walmart charged $25 per pair! Gets expensive when you need them for medicals too.

I am mailing mine tomorrow. It will also go to the Sydney office for the second stage. I can't wait for it to be out of my hands! Good luck to everyone!
