Haha, no, no. What I meant was: I use public medical, and my husband is on his own private plan, so shared health insurance is not an option for us to use as a shared bill. Tenant insurance would be an option for us to use as a shared bill.

Oh, I think this might have worked... I actually have an account with RBC too, but didn't have a credit card. I just applied even though I still don't have credit here in Canada, because why not try? And I adding him as an authorized user during the application. It said it was approved! The...

Once it got there (we sent registered mail) it looks like it was exactly two weeks (14 days, 10 business days)

Has anyone found a good way to get a shared bill or bank account for a common-law partner on visitor status? This is a struggle for us. We have a joint lease, but all utilities are paid by the building, other than our internet. Videotron internet which does not allow two people on the bill. I...

Is everyone else experiencing extreme mail delays? My last correspondence came two weeks after the date on it (which was better than the early January letter we didn't get till Feb). I know the strike had a big backlog, but talking to the post office recently they said that things are back on...

Is there any way to send a corrected form instead of waiting for it to be sent back rejected first? We found an error when uploading to the IRCC, and I'm losing my mind at the idea of this adding 2... 4... 6 months to our application time.

That's fair, I suppose I mean is that fairly common for it to be off by that much time (or more)? I am a sample size of one, and have no previous experience dealing with the IRCC, so I don't if it's unusual or par for the course.

We're still waiting on my husband's PR (in MIFI's hands atm). He applied for a SOWP last August. When he first applied the estimated wait time from IRCC was 170days (which is today). But in Jan it was 151 days, and the start of February it was 125 days! But when it comes to how long it will take...

On Quebec's undertaking form (Family Class A-0546-GF) for common-law marriages it lists proofs of living together as: lease/home ownership, joint bank account, joint utility bills. We have a lease but neither of the others. His bank is a regional credit union (US), mine is a credit union for...

AOR: August 24, 2024 Is it normal for me, the sponsor, to get an approval email first when my husband hasn't yet?

I am a Canadian citizen going through inland sponsorship for my husband. After filling out the questionnaire for the OWP, the only application we were given was the 5710. I'm just wary because the guide says this So, I was curious if maybe this is one of the things that doesn't apply to us...

I'm Canadian, my [common-law] husband is a US citizen. No dependents. We've sent an inland PR app and he's applying for his SOWP now. Our doc checklist doesn't list The Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union. Does that only apply to people coming along, so not to us bc I'm a citizen? I'm...

He did, didn't have an end date but we just used 180 days from entering.

Yes, sorry to have mafe you repeat. I did read that. I guess I was just worried I wasn't understanding correctly because it seems weird to say, "Well let's not extend your visitor status so that we'll meet the conditions to apply for sowp earlier." Thank you for your answer.

Sorry, to add on too. Does this only apply to temporary resident with work permits? My husband is visitor status, visa exempt. His 6 months ends Sep 2nd. We're about to apply for a visitor record. Could we apply for OWP instead?

Right, that makes sense. And yes, we're in Quebec... so we have a long haul ahead no matter how we move forward.

Yes, such terrible timing, if the offer had only come a week earlier it would've saved us a lot of hassle. Since the app is not yet in processing, we would hopefully get a approved for a refund of fees (Although, I just read it can take two months to receive!) My understanding is the main...
