Robrod - please drink the champagne :) I wish I could join you - I'd love some champagne - but I am high on life anways just now ;) .... I sincerely hope for all of you lovely people that the wait isn't much longer ... today was simply wonderful There were 30 of us landing today, from a total...

Finally, after what has seemed like forever, I am delighted to say I have my landing interview scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9.30am. I initially started my inland spousal application (I am British my husband is Canadian) in September 2007, although for one reason and another the application...

Thank you so much for this, it is very useful and informative. My file remains in Vegreville, and has done throughout so I would assume the lawyer must have filed an application for an extension when I first applied for PR as my visitor status would have expired in March 2008 and I didn't...

No worries and thanks for the good wishes. I am from a visa exempt country, I was told that I did not need to apply for a visitor extension provided my application was in process before the stamp on my passport expired - i.e. 6 months. At no stage was I told I needed to apply for an extension...

Where did you get your information? If you have an inland application in process you HAVE to stay in Canada during initial processing. I have an OWP you cannot get an OWP until first stage approval. I believe you can apply at the same time as making your application however it is not...

I have made an inland application February 2008. I used a lawyer for the process. The lawyer informed me that once you have an application and it has been acknowledged by CIC you have implied status whilst awaiting processing. My visitor stamp was in my passport from August 2007, I did not have...

No you don't have to leave, after the first six months you can apply for a visitor extension.

At this stage I don't think you would have enough evidence to prove a relationship. You could not really put down as common law at the moment because you need to provide evidence like joint bank statements etc. and the same appears to be the case for conjugal - you might find this useful...

What type of application have you made? If you have made an inland spousal application, once CIC have acknowledged receipt you no longer need visitor extensions whilst you are awaiting processing. Unfortunately in terms of the open work permit it is a waiting game for first stage approval...

That's correct, as long as you maintain legal status in Canada, they will not ask you to leave. Being from the UK helps as you don't need a Visa as such, but you will have to apply for a visitor extension once the stamp in your passport expires. The link you have there is a great place to start...

If your child was born in Canada then they are Canadian.

Hi Egelorie Wow your situation is exactly the same as mine was when I first came to Canada in 2007, also having met my partner (now husband) on line. I went for advice from an immigration lawyer, she did not suggest we should get married, however she subtly suggested that whilst she was not...

I think this link will give you all the information you need hopefully. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp Good luck

Hi Omar, am I correct in thinking that you are Canadian, but no longer currently live in Canada, but are wishing to move back and bring your children back to Canada with you? They are not Canadian citizens I assume?

Hi jawknee Basically inland is applying within Canada and Outland is from your country of origin. It depends where you are from which is the most advisable. Inland is generally a much lengthier process, the advantages are that you get to stay within Canada, and once you receive first stage...

Hi Jawknee - before you go ahead and make an inland spousal application do plenty of research - just a word of friendly advice really - you are from the UK right? I was given to understand that the best approach for me was to apply inland (I am a British Citizen). I made my application in...

Hi again Blackberry, I am planning on returning as soon as I can find a flight ... availability is limited just now due to school holidays, it is probably going to be in about 3 weeks time. I am doing my best to enjoy the time here although there is that niggling doubt at the back of my mind -...

Thank you very much for find all this information, I have been reading and researching much also and it is very complex and not very clear. I have been given to understand that having already received Approval in Principle of my sponsorship (my husband is Canadian btw), that as long as the IO...

Hi Blackberry Thanks for replying so quickly. I can't believe how long it has all taken either! CIC claim that the delays are being caused by London UK as my daughter (who is 21 almost 22!) is classed as non accompanying dependant and therefore she has to be cleared also. They have today...
