I would not take the gamble. I was actually once refused entry even though I am from a visa exempt country. The risk is entirely up to you! Just be aware that IF they don't let you back in your inland application is forfeited. I highly recommed you do not do it! Sure you could get lucky...but...

Hi Leon, do the two years have to be on one consecutive work permit. I had three in the past, Young Workers Exchange, Work and Holiday and now a two year work permit which expires in June 2010. I have had alltogether two employers and always worked in my profession. Would they accept that?

Does anyone know how they count the two years working experience? I have been here since 2005 on different work visa's (first young workers exchange, then work and holiday now work permit under IT LMO exempt category). Do the two years have to be on one consecutive work permit? My last one...

Colsy, how come you are relieved going over Berlin? It has a far longer processing time than London. What is your timelines so far for Berlin?

Hi, Does anyone know how it affects a common-law sponsorship application when you get married during processing? Is it smarter to wait until after receiving PR? Thanks Julie

Hey Colsy, thanks for your post. You say Trackitt etc...what other websites are out there to track timelines?

Really? How come? If you look at the CIC site and the posted timelines all other European offices are faster - minus one I believe (can't remember the name).

@Dutchman, how long did it end up taking in your case? Anyone else that can tell about their experience in dealing with Berlin? Much appreciated.

Thank you Emmy. Timelines on Trackitt look far less scary then the ones on the CIC website. They probably put some time on top there so people don't start calling them too early.

Thanks Leon, I was just wondering if this information is realistic as it was said before that Berlin just doubles everything up to keep people from bugging them. I guess I am just disappointed because my file was requested to go to Buffalo but instead was sent to Berlin, which is quite the...

Maroraza "from berlin it will be quick they always type avg processing time more then double or more so no body an question them, good luck i believe it will be quick from berlin under 6 months" Is this the same this year?

Hey guys, Mine just got sent to Berlin as well. It was supposed to go to Buffalo. I wonder what happened and if there is a chance to request a file transfer as the timelines are very different. For Berlin it recently says 7-16 months. Has anyone recently gotten approved? I would like to know...

Mehrdado, sorry to hear this and I have to agree with the others. However this brought a question up of my own. I am currently being sponsored under common-law. If everything goes well we should be receiving the PR around November. We are getting married in Mexico early January 2010 and were...

Boncuk, thanks for posting this link. However I assume it does not apply in my situation as I already have a work visa?? While working and living here I met my fiance, so it should not be a problem when I enter Canada holding a work visa and having applied for PR.

Well we live together in Canada so I am not really visiting him. My current visa is valid until June 2010; I am just going to see my grandparents in Germany for two weeks as they are getting quite old. So I was just wondering how to respond if they question me when I come back at the end of May...

Hi Marlena, No, we are not yet. We are engaged and are to be married next year in January in Mexico, have been together since 2006, living together since 2007. Did you see my earlier post about me going to Germany for a visit while having my Outland application in process? Thanks, Julie

Hi Marlena, can you help with my post? What is your thoughts about the situation? Thanks Julie

Hello, I just send my PR application Outland last week. I have been in Canada on different work visas for 4 years and my current one is valid until June 2010. I am planning to go and see my grandparents in my in Germany. Hopefully upon return I will not have any problems. I assume by then my PR...

Just wanted to let you know that if you need a medical done and you happen to have a Health Spending Account through your benefits give it a shot. I was reimbursed $235 out of the $300 that I paid. Julie

Re: Any April Outlanders waiting on CPC-Mississauga? @Boncuk, No worries. I know it is very early to expect anything yet. :-) I am patiently waiting. Just seeing what happens to other people with a different time line.
