    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Thanks for your replies, guys. We decided to go with Sydney, as it made the most sense based on what we have heard/read around these parts. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Hi guys, my girlfriend (Canadian) and I (Aussie) have been tossing up between sending our application to Ottawa or Sydney for a little while now. We're leaning towards Sydney at this stage, and are wondering if there's a spreadsheet or something to show general turnaround times on the Sydney...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks for the reply, computergeek. The reasoning behind what I was saying had more to do with the fact that they ask for the same thing twice. This also occurs in IMM5490 when they ask for proof (written and documentary) that you are in a relationship, and in section 25 of IMM5491 (Proof of...

    Hi everyone, My partner and I are putting together our application and are a little stumped on one part. We're applying outland (both living together in Canada) and I'm an Australian citizen. On #7 of my document checklist (or #22 on form IMM5491), there is mention of providing birth...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks for your reply, Rob. Fortunately, I still have about 19 months left on my current visa, and we're hoping to submit within the next week or two, so that doesn't pose a problem. And it's good to know your last point. We'll do what we can by requesting Ottawa and letting the rest take...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I'm doing outland, but sending it to Ottawa, so in the case I get called for an interview, it will be there and not Sydney. Okay, thanks.

    CPP-Ottawa

    My girlfriend (Canadian citizen) and I (Australian citizen, in Canada on IEC) noticed that the wait time at the Ottawa-CPP jumped from 14 months to 15. We're considering the possibility of sending our PR application through to Sydney instead. In this case, if we get called for an interview...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi guys, I'm an Aussie citizen who has lived in Toronto for the past two year, applying outland within the next two weeks. I just have a question about IMM5406 - Additional Family Information. On the checklist (IMM3906 E), it says that "You and each of your family members 18 years of age or...

    Thanks to both of you for your replies - helps clear that matter up a bit canuck_in_uk - do you recall which form to specify the processing office?
