    Hey guys, just trying to get an update from crassy, Vik81, chipits and mrlahori. You must all be getting close to hearing something from stage one, so keep us posted. The spreadsheet is depressingly quiet again after the July bump got through and thrown back in the pile.

    Still showing "Application Received." I am hoping that too! I am flying out to NZ on Wednesday for a quick visit (my first time going back since I came to Canada almost 4 years ago!!) and I have this secret hope that when I re-enter on my WP the officer will tell me that my PR is approved and...

    I definitely recommend going for the working holiday program while waiting for PR - it will allow you to work, drive and have health insurance and will take a lot of the stress away from just waiting. There is a spreadsheet which tracks applicants going through the Sydney office which can...

    I got the impression that copies of your passport is totally fine. I think they just took the actual passport because it was submitted in person, and that is just what was presented.

    Common-Law Sponsorship Cancellation during sponsorship

    A common-law relationship is more than just being girlfriend/boyfriend. When you are common-law you are effectively married but without the paperwork, cost and ceremony. If you are already thinking about cancelling an application which you have not yet filed so that you can sponsor someone else...

    husband who had a common law relationship

    If I were you I would just include a simple declaration of severance of common-law. If they decide that they do need it and you didn't provide it then it could delay your processing. It is really simple, just search statutory declaration templates online, and then say that xx and xx were in a...

    If it is addressed to the applicant (not the sponsor) then it will be stage 2. Also, stage one is from either CPC Miss or Ottawa with a note saying that it has been forwarded to the Sydney office, with details of how to contact Sydney, whereas stage two is from the Sydney office and won't really...

    ONE WAY HEALTH INSURANCE TO CANADA FROM THE UK!

    When I was between work permits and staying in Canada on a visitor visa without ever leaving the country I had the same problem, no one would cover me because the insurance had to start and end in my home country (NZ). The only company that I could find was World Nomads. They cover everyone from...

    This happened to me too BCRain, but we got our letter snail mail and it was dated before the others who applied after me. The letter might be sitting in a pile waiting for outgoing mail, or it might just be in transit. Mine took three weeks from the date it was approved to arriving in Calgary! I...
