^This is a good point. You should pick a time when your relationship began to be "marriage-like" and judge the year from then.

I'm not sure that an MP could do anything, since the decision has already been made. I would would re-submit.

Hi, take a look at section 5.25 and 5.26 of the OP2 manual to see what they look for in conjugal relationships. They are harder to prove, but it has been done (even for American/Canadian relationships). You are applying outland. Here are the forms...

That should be fine. As long as you have lived together for 12 consecutive months (and can prove it) when you apply, you will qualify as a common-law couple. Once you have achieved that "status", you've got it. Even if you did have to live apart during the application process, you would still...

Definitely wrong. If you are visa exempt you can re-enter with your landing documents, if you haven't received your PR card yet.

Very doubtful that it will cause any problems. Just be honest. You always left on your own (no deportation of exclusion order, right?), and it was a while ago, so should be no problem. But do disclose your whereabouts honestly.

I sponsored my German partner, let me know if I can help :) We went the spousal sponsorship "Outside" of Canada route. It was very quick going through the Berlin office, they are generally very good.

You should go to a professional photographer, they will be able to adjust their specifications.

Just do both, to be safe.

Email your VO directly, that's the only way to know for sure. If they do say that they don't need to be translated, print out that email and send it along with the application. If you are applying through Rome though, and your husband has a Tunisian ID card, I suspect that will have to be...

It doesn't sound like the OP is being sponsored by anyone, it sounds like she is applying for PR herself through another stream and is not sure if she has to include her husband, from whom she is separated. Hopefully someone else can answer this.

If he was away for 3 and a half weeks or so, for business, that should be ok. But make sure that you can prove that he was always planning to come back to live with you again. Also, it is a good idea to show that you communicated during the time apart. When you write about the few weeks apart in...

I think this depends on the VO. For example the Berlin office does not require translation of standard ID documents. I would send a general inquiry to your VO to know for sure.

You should read through all the forms and guides as a first step. There is a question on one of the applicant's forms where you indicate the visa office. Here are the forms/guides. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp The process times are when 80% of the cases are...

You can be the representative, that's fine. You will then be able to do business with CIC on the applicants behalf. I was the sponsor AND representative for my partner, as I was the one who knew more about the process and would be better equipped to deal with CIC if there were problems. So...

This is what you need: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp Application to sponsor a SPOUSE outside of Canada. (Note: You can still visit in Canada while the application is going on.)

You probably have a to make a few more posts before you can start a new thread. Have you tried the search function to see if you can find a previous thread that answers your question?

I'm not sure if there is any correlation between getting AOR and receiving your COPR (since they don't do PPR anymore). But it is a good sign, and hopefully you will receive something sooner or later. I'm sure they have a bit of a Christmas break though. Even IOs get to enjoy German Christmas :P...

I'm not sure what you are asking, but you can find the processing times on the CIC website. Sponsorship approval is usually pretty in line with that timeline, but if you are a bit over, don't worry.

You can also put things in the order of the checklist, since that makes it easier for them to check to make sure it's complete.
