    OUTLAND application if living together in Canada?

    Sorry, I can't remember, some people were just saying it on a thread here. I never saw any official sources.

    I just applied for an open work permit as a spouse being sponsored via inland sponsorship. My visitor status expires in a month. Should I also apply to extend my visitor status?

    September 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Now I'm not so sure I got the AOR. My spouse has not received anything. I got it from client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca, and it's a PDF, starting with We are currently processing your application for permanent residency. You now qualify to receive pre-arrival services to help you prepare for...

    Help with applying for an OWP (inland spousal sponsorship)

    I just received my AOR and I'm looking to apply for the OWP, but I'm getting stuck on the last bit of the instructions here. They talking about what I should upload in the sport for IMM 5707. The problem is I don't have a spot for that in my document checklist. I'm not sure what to do.

    OUTLAND application if living together in Canada?

    You can still apply outland, yes, but you will not get any special ability to stay or work in Canada while you are waiting for approval. Right now the processing estimations are 10 months for outland, 13 for inland...

    Spousal PR (Inland) Is it difficult to apply by yourself?

    After working with some horrible people, we severed ties and did it ourselves. It is a lot of work to go through everything and make sure you did it right, but it's doable. Just be sure to sit down with your partner and read every single word of every single instruction. It's tedious, but the...

    Is a statement of live birth good enough for the sponsor?

    Update: Do we even need the sponsor's birth certificate? We were advised that we did, but going through IMM 5533, it only asks for the applicant's birth certificate.

    Is a statement of live birth good enough for the sponsor?

    My sponsor doesn't appear to have an official "birth certificate". The only document we can find is a certified copy of a statement of live birth. It's worth nothing that my sponsor does have a Canadian passport that their late mother went through the process of getting for them, so either the...

    Moving while maintaining the same "activity" - IMM 5669

    In IMM 5669, Section D: Personal History, they ask for information regarding what you were doing (employed, studying, unemployed, etc) when you did it, and where you were when you were doing it (City, Country). I had the same job for a period of years, but moved around to a few different nearby...

    Proof of status as a visitor from the US

    Wow, I had been conditioned to be scared of doing such a thing. Everyone says it's harder to cross when you get married, and I thought straight up telling CBSA that you plan to stay in Canada permanently (through legal means) while coming as a visitor was very likely to get you turned away.

    Proof of status as a visitor from the US

    @AngelBear I have traveled between the US and Canada many times, and my experience has been different than yours. Back when I started (came up here for school a decade ago) they would stamp it every time (aficr) but at some point they stopped stamping. They also usually don't give me a visitor...
