Hi there! Happy New Year to you all :) We woke up to good news here, our PR tracker updated my (PA's) eligibility to Completed and I received the letter "Invitation to Pre-arrival services". My wife's eligibility was completed last month too. Does this mean that they have deemed our...

Hi there! Thanks a lot for this, it was super helpful! I managed to successfully link my PR Family Class (Spousal) application to my CIC account; however, I am confused about the biometrics. This is my old CIC account, used to apply for both my Working Holiday Visa and my Young Professionals...

Thanks everybody for explaining, I now have a clear picture of the next steps and what to expect. Super helpful ☺️ thanks a lot!

Thanks for the comments! Either way, this is going to mean quite a few months for me unable to work until the OWP is approved, as there is no more work with my YP employer and I understand the YP restrictions will stay apply during the implied status. A bit of a tricky situation!

Hi there! Thanks a lot to both of you for your responses – super helpful! We received the AOR the other day (it took less than 3 weeks!) so we feel motivated seeing things moving :-) Something that dawned on us after reading your messages is that we were likely using the wrong terminology...

Hi there! Hope you guys are doing well :-) My wife and I finally applied via Outland and we are now waiting for the AOR. We are wrapping our heads around the next steps and I just wanted to confirm a few points - hopefully you can help! As far as I understand, we should wait to apply for the...

Thanks for the clarification YVR123, one question less in my mind out of a million. This is certainly a complex process! Thanks a lot for your help @everybody :)

Thanks scylla, appreciated. I will do as suggested then :-)!!

Hi there! I am reading mixed responses online, and I was wondering whether somebody could shed some light on my specific case. I am applying for PR through the Spousal Outland channel. The question asks: Prior to this spousal application, I did apply for Express Entry (FSW), but my profile...

Ah that's great then, thanks to the two of them!! We have photos in like 6 countries together over the years, and with our families etc in a variety of contexts, so it should be easy-peasy then given that it is not an arranged marriage :-) Thanks a ton!

Hi there! I have tried to find an answer but I am getting mixed information from different sources... Regarding: Question 7(e): Photos of your wedding, customary celebration, engagement and/or outings. My partner and I did a very small civil marriage ceremony, with only three people present...

Hi there! I wonder if somebody might be able to shed some light on my conundrum. Currently, I am in Canada under a Young Professionals visa, working for my Canadian employer on their payroll. This is an employer-specific visa that does not allow me to work for another Canadian employer. At...

That's super helpful, thanks a lot autoscriptor! We will do the same then - show the tenancy agreement etc etc, and explain to IRCC why we are applying via Outland :-) Thanks a ton!

Thanks a lot autoscriptor, that's a clear and very helpful explanation - we will do that way then! We have started taking a look at the forms (specifically 5533) and it's a bit confusing for us, because even though we are currently living together, we are applying through Outland due to having...

Thanks @autoscriptor, that's so very helpful to read! And your signature is also amazing, thanks for taking the time for all of this :-) Reading your response and the other in this thread, it seems that they way to go for us would be... Apply through the Outland channel using our address here...

With both being outside Canada, does this mean travelling or residing elsewhere? We both live in Canada, but will be overseas from Oct/Nov to January. We won't be becoming residents of another country, just visiting my family in Spain - but we will keep our bank accounts, car insurance and so on...

Canadian citizen :)

Hi there! I've been reading about the OPW for Outland applications, and I keep getting mixed information (likely because this is a fairly new measure?). For example, this video says that even though Outland applications are also eligible for OWP, the applicant must be living in Canada with...

Great, thanks a lot @armoured, very much appreciate your help. We are going to begin the process soon, fingers crossed it all goes well!

Thanks Armoured and Scylla for your very quick responses! The reason I had discarded "outland" was because of the Open Work Permit option not being listed here, but reading on other websites it seems indeed possible to apply for it via the outland channel - that's a relief! Will the outland...
