No, she is currently living in an apartment paid for by her work.

Hi, I am a permanent resident of Canada and want to submit an application for a visitor visa for my mother. I want her to visit on vacation this summer for about a month to show her the country. My partner and I make decent income so we can support her (and she has her own savings). She is a...

Exactly 12 months is okay for common law. Our case was 12 months + 2 weeks. My partner got approved without issues, but we did have an interview. They never mentioned having any issue with the 12 month time period though, and the interview was mostly because they thought our rental contract...

Hi everyone, I paid my RPRF in August and made a typo in the CPCM-EXTCOM email address when I sent the receipt. I just recently discovered this and I resent it to the correct email address two days ago. This delayed our application by over 2 months!! I'd like to ask how long it normally takes...

Is it normal that CIC never asked for an EMS waybill for our application? My boyfriend had an interview in Beijing in September, was told he was approved, but we're still waiting on the visa now. Since he had an interview we never received a passport request by mail, but instead he left them his...

I paid my RPRF in late August and sent the receipt to the appropriate email. Yesterday I received an email with "Documents Required" in the subject. It said: I'm confused. Does this mean that they never received the RPRF, or the notification is still in transit? Or is it just a standard email...

Take the time to thoroughly read the responses you got. You didn't answer Rob's question about whether or not you lived together for 12 months. Your best chance is with common-law sponsorship. You will not be able to get a visitor's visa for her because you are in a relationship with her. You...

We applied mid November and got sponsorship approval pretty quickly, and got stage 2 AOR in February. Since then we haven't heard anything, and we're at the Beijing office, which is supposed to be relatively quick I think. We haven't received any email since the stage 2 AOR, and ECAS still shows...

One thing to add is that if you apply outland and have an interview, that interview will be at the visa office you applied with. (in the other country, not Canada)

Haha, the games are hilarious

Hi everybody, I'm applying for common-law and am finally getting everything together. My only worry is that I do not have enough evidence to prove our common-law relationship. What I have about proof of us living together is: -Rental contracts for both years we rented together, with both our...

Solved! For anyone who has a similar issue, my bf's uncle was actually able to get the birth certificate for him in his hometown. I doubt this is standard procedure, but in small towns things can probably be pretty lax.

Thanks for the reply, and you're right, I should take their document requirements seriously and try to get all the documents together. I guess what I should be asking then is can anyone who applied from China confirm that a birth certificate can be acquired from the police station in the...

I've already emailed the embassy, but they said they couldn't give any specific information. We have done some research and tried to get the birth certificate required here in China, but seem to be unable to do so. When asking at the police station where his household register is currently...

I am planning on applying for common-law immigration with my bf next year after we've been living together for 12 months. (Started this august). My question is: he was sent by his company to korea for a business trip in october. He was there for a little less than 4 weeks. The CIC definition of...

Hi, My boyfriend and I plan to begin living together soon here in China, and in the future I would like him to qualify to move back to Canada with me as my common-law partner. As we only have a little over a year to live with each other, I want to make sure the application can be filled out as...
