    Silly question really...

    So in my package, is it ok to use double printed pages, ie print on both sides of a piece of paper?? I have adobe acrobat and it allows me to fill and save all my papers, and I thought it'd be a great idea to 'save some trees' by using double sided printing, would this create a problem, or am I...

    Statutory decleration of common law union

    My reason to apply inland is that I am already here, working fulltime, and thought it would be a hassle if I have to go to England to my CHC office, if for any reason they want to do an interview or issue documents. So less cost. I have work permit valid until 10/2011 so should be good for...

    INLAND and IMM 0008

    See a lot of people writing about the background declaration, however it is not mentioned in the document checklist, so I still need to include it?? I went through the application package yesterday, and found that the family class is actually LESS in depth than the CEC that I was initially...

    Statutory decleration of common law union

    Thanks! It seems, the more I look at this, that it will be less hassle to apply for the Spousal sponsorhip, rather than CEC. Even if when we apply (INLAND) it will take somewhat longer. I'm actually less scared of it now... Cheers H.

    Another work permit if LMO comes through

    OK gotcha! Only reason I don't apply via Vegreville is that the future wife likes to go to the US for shopping occasonally! (and it is immediate, not a 6 week process...) Cheers H.

    Statutory decleration of common law union

    Hi there, So gotten some other information taken care of, now I'm looking to get this done. Who do we go see to get it validated?? I got forms from the bak, that states we have had accounts together for more than 2 years, and I can prove we have lived together for more than 3 years, so now I...

    Spousal information on the actual application...

    I would get her to sponsor me, HOWEVER... I make more than her, and she's currently on EI... We also do not have the 'funds required' in the bank. Cheers H.

    Spousal information on the actual application...

    Soo, the conundrum, I phoned the callcenter and asked, and they said I do NOT need to add my commonlaw wife on the application since she was born and raised in Canada. (from Canadian parents) Anyway, since she IS canadian I can 'neglect' to put her on the application, but I have a feeling that...

    Thanks! Certainly makes me feel better. Still nervous about the whole situation tho, it is a daunting task to be sure, and I am just afraid that I'll be denied... Cheers H.

    Another work permit if LMO comes through

    Seen the change in regs that is impending. I have been in Canada since 2002 on various work permits, and this new rule has me worried. My intentions now (actually on advice from CBP while getting my last one) is to apply for a CEC PR. I believe I meet all the requirements. Anyways, I have an...

    CEC versus Spousal Sponsorship??

    OK, thanks. It seems that the CEC stream, although getting longer, is actually not too bad. Does anyone have any opinions on what reasons for a refusal might be? I have been on work permits since 2002, and speak english like a canadian (still not getting rid of the Newf accent!), good income...

    can we go home

    OK, not yet sent the application, still waiting for the FBI letter and my IELTS, hopefully on the 9th. Anyways, I'm Visa EXEMPT, can I cross the border as I see fit in the same case?? Never had any problems with it before, just usually daytrips to the states etc. Cheers H.

    CEC versus Spousal Sponsorship??

    Seen another thread on it, however my question is a tad different... I qualify under many streams, from Europe, and have been in Canada under work permits since 2002, and I have finally started gathering most of the documents for my PR. Anyway, my future spouse was considering 'sponsoring' me...

    Applying for PR, Canadian spouse

    So, I'm a dude from Europe, been living and working in Canada for almost 9 years now, under various work permits. (Should definitively qualify, eh??) Anyway, Come in under group B I believe, but enough about that. My question is this, I have all my papers filled out, and pretty much ready to...
