My wife and I submitted our Family Class (Spousal Sponsorship) application about three weeks ago. I got an email at that time saying UPS delivered it and it was signed for. I tried checking status on CIC website using her UCI number (from Visitor Visa) and my receipt # but nothing shows up. Do...

You guys are awesome.. thanks. Everything is put together now.. double checking and hoping to send out this week! ;D

Hey everyone, I just had a few final questions (hopefully!) before sending out the PR application. 1. I paid for the PR application online, and the receipt has a blank space for 'Client date of birth' and 'Client ID'. I'm assuming the date of birth is my own (sponsor) because I paid for the...

I think we're going to just send it through, and as rugrat907 recommended, order another from Japan just in case. It's free with Japan and an easy way to cover our bases... Also, thanks for the tip Ponga! I read this on the website... looks like it was updated a few months ago: For countries...

Thanks so much.. this is really helpful. I think we're going to do something similar, but keep it nice and simple :)

Hey everyone, Just a quick question. My wife got her criminal record check from Japan last November (she lived there in 2008). The person at the Japanese consulate told her it would expire in 3 months. However, we had to wait over 10 months for her US criminal check (long story) and just...

Thanks, that is really good to know. I've been talking it over with my wife and I think we're just going to use a few categories.. "Photos / Conversation / Visits / Letters&Cards" and label everything well but forget about laying everything out nice and pretty. We got enough to do already.. ;)...

Hey everyone, I'm at the point in the application where I'm sure everybody has a slight panic attack. :o I'm at the beginning stages of documenting the 'proof of relationship'. The good thing is that my wife and I have lots of documentation/phone calls/emails/facebook/photos to document our...

Ok, that is very good to know. The website says it's the AVERAGE time, so it's a bit misleading I think. Oh well... better to expect 3 years and get it in 10 months.. ;D Thanks so much for the quick response. You guys are awesome :D

Hey everyone, We are getting ready to apply for my wifes PR here in Canada. She is American, and we've decided to apply Outland (Family Class). People always say Outland is the quickest, however.. a quick look of the processing times says it's 29 months for Los Angeles and 35 months for New...

This has been incredibly helpful, thanks so much! We will focus on proof of ties to US and getting receipt for sponsor fee before we cross back into the US. The FBI and Medical can wait until after. Thanks again! :)

Thanks Rob! Good to know about the time limits on FBI and medical, super helpful! Is it to our benefit to have any of these when crossing back into Canada after our wedding? I feel pretty good about the application, but am mostly concerned about smooth transition when we get back from our...

Hey everyone, I'm a Canadian who is marrying an American on August 31st in the United States. After our honeymoon, we plan to come to Canada and apply for her Permanent Residency for Canada (we are choosing to do an Outland application). I've received some great help on this forum and only have...

Hey everyone, My fiancee and I are getting married in August. She is an American and I'm a Canadian. We'll be getting married in the United States and then heading back to Canada after our honeymoon. We understand that she can't work while in Canada (until her VISA goes through), and that's...

Hey everyone, I just got engaged to the woman of my dreams (who happens to be American). We've decided that we want to begin our life together in Vancouver (where I live). I am a Canadian citizen. We're trying to wrap our heads around everything involved with having her move here to Canada. We...
