Well, we are still waiting for any news from Manilla as well. They requested some documents from us in June and we sent them off to manilla in early July but we have no idea if they have even recieved them. We sent the documents registered mail and all the tracking says is that they arrived in...

Hi Everyone, We just recieved an email from the Mailla office requesting more documention. We originally applied in November 2012 and were hoping to get our visa soon. This is for a common law visa and they are asking for the following items. 1. A police clerance from Germany for my wife (she...

Hi everyone, My wife is now staying with me in Canada waiting for her PR family visa. She is Japanese so didn't need any special visa but her 90 days is now running out. Is there a way to cross into the States and come back on another 90-day stamp. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Flagpoling is just crossing the border and coming right back?? That s what we are planning to do as well. i guess maybe to be safe we should change our mailing address to Canada a week or 10-days before we leave since we wouldn't want to miss the package if it is sent here. Thanks for all your...

just received the notice today. The date on the letter is January 22nd.

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to have just found this thread!! Let me give you a quick introduction and a few questions as well if you don't mind. I am a Canadian living in Japan but planning to move back to Canada with my Japanese wife soon. I just received a letter from CIC saying I was...

I sent our package off a few weeks ago but I am not sure how to check that it has arrived. I payed the fees online and I am trying to use that receipt number but no luck so far.

It is faster to apply for an outland application but you can send your application for outland processing even if you are living in Canada Really? I had no idea you could do that.

Thank you for your suggestions Sweden. A time line ect. hopefully will help. I will start working on that now. Actually leaving Japan isn't all that complicated for me. I sold my motorcycle a few months back and we just rent our apartment. We are not planning on bringing anything to Canada...

There are two main reasons I am applying from here. 1) I have heard applying from outside the country is much faster than an inland application. 2) We want her to have her Visa when she arrives so she can look for work. I am sure she would not be happy sitting at home for over a year until...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to prove you are planning a move back to Canada? I am applying for a Common Law sponsorship for my partner of 6-years. We have plenty of paperwork to prove our relationship but not sure how to prove our intent of moving to Canada. I am a Canadian citizen by...

Thanks! One less thing to worry about.

Hi everyone, We have just sent in our application for a common law sponsorship. I am Canadian and my partner is Japanese. We did all the paperwork by ourselves as well but it seems like the Visa will be processed in Manilla. I have heard the process is a bit quicker for Japanese nationals but i...

My wife had her medical done about 6 weeks ago and we are just filing the papers now so are sending in the Form C. I hope this won't be a problem.

My partner and I are applying for a common law visa. I am just wondering if she needs to do the medical exam before we mail the application to Mississauga?? We have an appointment with a doctor here but they will just forward the paper to Manilla but of course Manilla will have no paperwork on...

CharlieD10 and Steph Thanks so much! Will do my best to get all this down. I have never been much of a record keeper though so I hope I won't have too many problems. My current partner and I have been living together since 2007 and she has been to Canada several times to meet my family ect...

Thanks again for all the quick replies. I am in fact going through the divorce now but it is taking forever! I did want to wait for the divorced to be finalized but it has just been delayed once again. I am now hoping for a final judgement in late September or by mid-October by the latest (I...

OK, so I should put as follows 8 a) current marital status: Legally separated. b)Enter the date (year, month, day) you were married or you entered into your current common-law relationship. (if I enter Legally separated I am not allowed to fill in this date.) c)Write the family name(s) and...

Thanks for the help but I am still a little confused. For my marital status I should put common law (meaning common law with my current partner) and not separated? Also, I am using the online form and when it asks when I was married before it asks for a to-from date but the marriage is not...
