I´m only 8 years older than my sponsor...but I´m the female and he´s the man :) they didn´t have any problems with that! Good luck with your application.

Got my passport in the mail this morning :) Took 3 weeks from the time they received in London until I got it back in Canada. So now I can start planning my trip to the USA border and come back as a permanent resident :) I´m in Calgary so it is only about a 2.5 hour drive.

I got an email on January 9, asking to send my passport to London :) :) I´m really happy with this, except I was kinda hoping not to have to send the passport to London, but get that piece of paper (don´t remember what it´s called) instead. I´m in Canada now on a visitors visa and we are going...

You are right, I read the email again - it first says "send receipt to Mississauga" and then further down - "send all requested documents to the address below" (which is London)! My boyfriend is having a difficult time paying online so maybe we will just go the bank, since we are in Canada...

I got an email this morning where they ask me to pay the Right of Permanent Residency fees. I guess that is a good sign :) So all I do is to get my boyfriend (sponsor) to go and pay online and then send the recite to London? I was also happy to get an email to my inbox, good to know that they...

Hi We had the same situation. My boyfriend is Canadian and we had a baby outside Canada. We applied for a citizenship for our baby and got it after few months. I think we used this application http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/minors.asp We applied for sponsorship for me...

Thanks for your answer Leon. I guess I´m lucky to be living in Alberta :) I talked to a lady at AB Health and got much clearer answers that before. Apparently they are giving me 6 months of AB Health because my boyfriend is adding me to his AB Health (oh and only because we have a child...

Hi I´m being sponsored (outland) by my boyfriend to get permanent residency in Canada. I´m visiting him now and am hoping to stay here (extending my visitors visa) until I get my PR. We are living in Alberta and I´m confused about Alberta Health. I went and talked to Alberta Health last week...

I agree with AnnaMcG, that sucks!! I´m sorry you have to wait so long for this. I´m more worried now about me having to have one done too. Luckily I´m in Canada now so it shouldn´t be to difficult for me to get it done I hope.

I showed them the email I got from CIC but they wanted an official letter. I don´t know who to contact to get that. Or I can just hope to get my PPR before the 6 months are up.

Congrats those of you getting PPR, it´s great news :) I was happy on Friday too, because I got a temporary Alberta Health card :) They say that I have to show them my First Stage Approval before 6 months to get it extended (if I haven´t gotten my PPR by then, which I hope!!). Isn´t first stage...

Thanks for your replay Mitali. Her fees have been charged so she knows their received her application, but that all she knows. She has been cheeking her junk mail and there hasn´t been anything there either. She has been trying to get a hold of someone to ask about the status of her application...

Does anyone know this? I'm applying for a PR throug spousal sponsorship and know a bit about how all that works, but I don't know much about the whole work permit thing. But my friend is getting pretty anxious about loosing her work and all rights in Canada while she waits for her permanent...

My friend is applying for a Perminent residency for a skilled worker. She sent in her application in March and has not heard anything from ICI yet. Is that normal? She is currently working in Alberta (on a work permit that expires in March 2012) and was told she had to get some number from...

Steph, sorry to hear that they lost your husband´s medical. My doctor sent his form to the London office where my application will be processed and I sent my copy there too. I just sent it to the address that came with my boyfriends sponsorship approval letter. I also sent a short letter...

Chrischris - I hope your background check gets done quickly, think you have waited long enough. It will be interesting for you to see what the CAIPS notes say. I hope not everyone that has ever lived in Canada is going to get delayed! I was thinking about the unlucky people that get a hit on...

Always finding new things to worry about! :) Has any of the people getting their PPR fairly fast previously lived in Canada? I´m wondering if having a RCMP background check will slow things down? I lived in Canada for few years on a study permit, never had any problem with the police but if...

Thanks to both of you. I´ll not worry about it for now then, and just leave it as is.

Anyone?

Thank you :) Looking at the spreadsheet now I can almost hope to get a PPR in a month!! But I´m trying not to hope for that, in my mind I´m thinking January/February would be great :)
