I spent an hour or so last night trying to figure out a way to call the toll-free number specified on the document checklist in order to obtain an Option C printout. From the UK (Northern Ireland) I tried dialling 00 1 800 XXX XXXX and that put me through to a recording saying that I would be...

Just a quick (and probably obvious) question, just want to make sure. On the application to sponsor, question 8(a) asks marital status, to which I put common-law, and wrote the date our relationship started (11/11/2004 - the date we first started dating, not the date our relationship qualified...

Hey Siouxie! Thanks for this, although we just found out a few days ago that we would be able to take this route. We had sent in our application to Access NI (the service we had to go through that's backlogged 4 months or so) and they sent us back a letter saying we could go through ACPO, and it...

Haha, thanks! I was going through some conversations and wondering just how much information they needed to know, so I'll definitely be buying myself a black marker...lol!

What do people think is the best way to go about compiling all the information? I was thinking it might be easiest to sort of put it together in a timeline...beginning with the first email, the first few conversations, etc, then cover all the important dates of the relationship up to the...

I spoke to the X-ray department at our local hospital in the UK and they told us what would happen is they would provide us with the x-ray film and a filled out report the day of our x-ray appointment, and we would then take those with us to the approved medical practicioner appointment. I guess...

Okay, thanks! All this application stuff has made me so paranoid that I'm going to do something wrong!

Hi everyone Has anyone else had their approved medical examiner tell them to get a lung xray done BEFORE showing up for the medical? I am just wondering if that is normal, since the xray would be done at a hospital that is not on the list of approved practicioners on the Canadian government...

That is an EXCELLENT idea...a much better one than scanning through 1500 pages! I can just open my messenger history and take screen shots showing all the different dates. Phew! I am feeling so much better about all of this. You guys are so great.

Just a quick question - when compiling evidence of your relationship, how much is TOO much? I've seen people on here saying that their application is getting to be 5 inches thick, and others saying that the more you can put in, the better. However, I have 5 years of saved MSN conversations...

Thanks for the replies everyone. My partner and I have been coming to terms with realizing we're probably going to apart for a much longer time than we originally thought, due to a huge backlog in obtaining a police report, so waiting a few more months by applying in Canada will just be...

Hi Everyone I am just wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether it is better to sponsor someone from within Canada, or from outside Canada. At the moment I am in the UK, and planning on moving back to Canada on December 16th. If I am sponsoring my UK common-law partner to come to Canada...

Thanks Robs, that's fantastic. I know it's going to be a long road ahead, but at least we can fill in our forms now!

Hi everyone My partner and I are trying to move to Canada. Our situation is this: We have been dating since 2004 when we met while he was in Canada. We had spoken previously through emails etc and got to meet in November 2004, when we decided that we would be a couple. We travelled back and...
