    Payment of PR through London from Canada.

    As soon as I posted this i then read at the bottom of the page that "Family class: All fees must be paid by the sponsor to the Case Processing Centre in Canada, not to this visa office, even if your file has been transferred to this visa office." So that makes things a little more straight...

    Extending My Stay

    Hi. I'll possibly be doing the same thing as you in 6months time (i'm also from the UK). What exactly did you write on your form? That you're 'exploring the relationship' or something? I'm really nervous that mine will get denied because my plans will be kinda out the window.
