Congrats indigo on the good news! Just to clarify my partner and I are applying as common-law and are not yet married. In the meantime we have applied for the open work-permit and I have emailed Berlin regarding the situation. I have yet to hear back from them but when I do I will post there...

Hi All, So I had received my AOR Dec.22, 2011 which I was really happy about it. Now though I just got 2 emails. One asking to pay the PR fee (because we had only paid half of it in the beginning) which isn't a problem at all. The other one though is asking for my partner's birth certificate. I...

Anyone on here think about applying for an open work permit under the international experience program for German or Dutch citizens? Spots just opened up...well for anyone under 30! We are applying for it right now as a back-up plan just in case we are one of the unlucky few who has to wait the...

Hi all, My partner is from Holland and we filed his app around the same time as you Indigo! Mississauga received it sept.7th and dec.22nd we received the confirmation from December. Everyone has been saying that soon after he will get his PPR but I think the way you put it indigo as cautiously...

Hey! I haven't posted in awhile..thought I would update my timeline because I was wrong about the AOR last time (thanks skidrose for pointing it out) Anyway here it is: My timeline now is: App sent: 02-09-2011 App recieved: 07-09-2011 AOR: TODAY! 21-12-2011 So I guess next is the COPR...

Wow congrats sidkrose! I can only hope our process will go as fast. It's been 3 months since I've seen my partner and I'm starting to go a little bonkers over here. My timeline now is: App sent: 02-09-2011 App recieved: 06-09-2011 AOR: 15-11-2011 (from CIC Mississauga) in the email they sent me...

Thanks guy for the help!

Hi Guys, Quick question. I am getting close family and friends to write their letters about us as evidence that we are in a common-law relationship but I don't really know what to get them to write! Does anyone have some examples for me? As well, we are trying to get 2 affidavits. Anyone have...

Thank you so much for the great advice! Two of you mentioned affidavits or notarized letters...do you know where we could get this done here in Canada (obviously at the lowest price?). And also Cuds my parents are in Belgium right now so do you have any advice on where to get a notarized letter...

Hello, I am new to this and just came across this thread. I know it is about applying for PR as a skilled worker but I needed some advice on my situation. My boyfriend/common-law partner is trying to immigrate to Canada from Holland (I am a cdn citizen) through a spousal sponsorship. He...

OK then I have one more stupid question (I'm sorry but you have so much knowledge). The lawyer told us to go and get the medical examination already before we even submitted anything to the government but apparently they only need this for step 2? Will they then hold his record on file for the...

Thank you so much for your advice. Honestly everything you have told us today has been more helpful than ANYONE we have talked to (lawyers/family members/etc.) in the past year. I think we may go the inland route just because my boyfriend is here and I feel that our case is pretty...

Hey Love_Young, I was just wondering. When you say LANDED does this mean that the whole process is complete right up to the PR? If I were to apply for an inland spousal sponsorship for my boyfriend we were under the impression that the most important thing was to get past the step 1 because he...

Thank you so much for your response. Based on most of the comments on this forum we've both noticed that everyone seems to be suggesting outland instead of inland. What sucks is that my boyfriend and I made the move to Canada on April 28th because 2 immigration lawyers here in Canada had told us...

I had already asked this question in a previous post but I think I may have overcomplicated my question. Basically I would like to know from those of you with first-hand experience...which would be better/faster/more economical for my boyfriend who is coming out of the Netherlands...and Inland...

Thanks so much for the reply! So you recommend that I we apply outland. I am now just making sure that we are actually going to go through the UK office because on the Canadian embassy website in Holland it keeps referring us to the German office in Berlin and the waiting times there are much...

Hi Everyone, I am a newbie to this forum but I based on what I have read so far everyone seems to be helping each other out so much. I basically need advice on my current situation. I am a Canadian citizen and have been living in Holland for the past 5 years with my (common-law partner)...
