    Applied as "Common Law" and got married after, now what?

    My husband and I were married in Ontario (May) and we had to wait 8-10 weeks after getting married before being able to apply (costs extra) for the actual marriage certificate. It may be different in other provences, so I'd suggest looking through the paperwork you have from the officient at the...

    Photocopies of pictures

    If you have trouble with the suggestions above, you could scan the photos you need to send at a photo kiosk. I noticed the other day that Wal-Mart have that service and are cheap too ;D You will not get the photos back if you send originals.

    Outland or Inland? Canadian & Aussie

    hahaha yeah, I can understand with him being the man...having to stay home and not be the bread winner can be upsetting. I'm going to look into doing volunteer work after we submit our package. That way I'll still be sane by the time I am allowed to work again!

    How many are sponsoring to Ontario, just curious.

    Marriage was really quick, issue?

    I recently read on another forum (a story from a former CIC employee), that even though one couple had a huge wedding with all the bells & whistles, family etc..., the visa was denied because they could tell it was an arranged marriage/marriage of convenience. This is not to make you worry, this...

    Hi everyone! My partner is going to be sponsoring me in the upcoming months as his spouse. We will both be in Canada during the process. We need to know wether it is possible for us to lodge an out-land application, or would I have to be in Australia for that? I am asking as it is my...

    Spouse application rules changed!!!!!!

    Thanks for that info...I've just read through it all, and it poses no threat to anyone doing everything legally, nor any threat to those who respect their partners & families. I'm new to all this, but am very surprised that these issued had not been revised earlier by Canadian Immigration.
