Thanks for the answers... Does it matter that we haven't got the paper saying he was granted an extension? His visa ran out in June, and we did apply a month early, but still haven't heard anything (just his tourist visa). Will that all be in the computer? The last thing he needs when he...

What happens if we can't make things work anymore. We are not yet at first stage approval (still waiting on them to open the envelope), and it looks like our marriage is over. How does it work with immigration if he wants to leave and go home (he is still waiting for the paper for his visa...

Thanks PMM... We did send it registered mail to Vegreville, I guess it is just me second-guessing everything that made me worry and think "What if..." I hadn't realized that we wouldn't hear anything until we got the approval/refusal... I had just assumed we would get something saying it was...

Hi everyone... I've tried looking this up, but haven't been able to find an answer, so hopefully someone can enlighten me. For inland applications, how long (approximately) will it take before we hear anything from CIC? We sent the application in the first week of November, and haven't heard...

Thanks, eyeoftheocean :)

I have a question about the inland application... as we all know the times have increased recently, and it made me wonder... if my husband got his police clearance done just before he left his home country, and it takes over a year to get PR, obviously it will expire... but if he hasn't gone...

Re: Filling out form IMM 1249 No one knows? It's the same form you use for extending a visitor visa...

Just paid the fees online, but I don't know what to put for Client ID? Or do we leave that blank? Why, oh why, do they make everything so confusing?!?!

We've just finished putting together my husband's application for PR, and since we are applying Inland we were going to send the application for OWP at the same time. But, I'm a bit confused with that form. When it asks for family members, do we have to list myself (the Canadian sponsor), and...

Thanks for clearing that up! :)

Okay, so I'm Canadian and sponsoring my husband. In the application, it asks when I became Canadian... do I just put my birth date? And does that make my claim Canadian by descent? I found those two questions a bit confusing, so I really appreciate the help, even if it seems like an obvious...

Hi, my husband and I are preparing his application for PR, and I was wondering... I was thinking that I (the sponsor) would write a letter to explain more about our relationship, how much I love him, plans we have for the future, etc. as support for his application, since so much isn't included...

Yeah, I called the one in the application package. It took me a long time to get anyone, but I finally had luck this morning. I think you just have to keep calling until you get through. Good luck!

I don't know about the stamp issue, but I called about what to do if we have sent the application for OWP but it isn't going to be ready before the visitor visa expires. The woman I talked to at CIC said that we still had to apply to extend the visitor visa, so I would do that if I were you...

Do you think we could use my family name, even though it isn't his legal name? His passport only shows his one name, so whatever they issue won't match. Or is it better to just let them issue it however and legally change his name after we get the PR?

Thanks for the advice everyone :)

I have two questions I need help with! My husband only has one name, a given name. Culturally, they do not have family names. Do I just write N/A in that spot everytime, or do I need to write an explanation? Also, if we are applying inland, and he is staying here with me, is that what I...

I want to sponsor my husband for PR inland, but am a bit confused about the proof of income. I've been living overseas with my husband for a while now, so my most recent Canadian tax return is from 2006, but I do have last year's from Indonesia. Do I send that, or the 2006 one, or do I just...

I hope someone can help me clarify this... If my husband is applying for PR inland, I know that we can submit the application for the open work permit with the PR application. But, I've heard of some people getting refused for the work permit. If this happens, does that make him overstay his...

Thanks... I've seen that before, but things just are never so clear and easy to do in Indonesia.:S
