From what I understand, eligibility all comes down to the agreements between Canada and the relevant country. My comment was from our experience, as Australians. This is what is says for UK (and the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/index.asp?country=gb&cat=wh) Determine your...

What country are you from? We are Australian. My partner's work permit in the IEC program expires in August and he recently applied for and received the LOI for a further 2 years. Because his participation in the program was prior to 2015, he is eligible to participate for a further 2 years. We...

I just found the information I was looking for - thanks so much for all your help

Thanks Scylla. Where can I find the OWP criteria? What I have found is pretty general.

Sorry, would you also mind ever so much clarifying which part is "unfortunately, not possible"? If we need to rethink a strategy, I'll have to get him on it! He has his heart set on staying in Canada. Thanking you again in anticipation

Thanks for your reply Lammawitch. He has approached his employer about an LMIA and we are awaiting a response. In terms of the definition of common law partners for an SOWP, I can't see how it is different to the definition for a PR application. If you can offer some advice, that would be...

Hi there. Just hoping to get some direction. My partner (common law partner) is currently in Canada on the IEC visa. We are both Australian. He arrived in Canada in August 2013, with his current visa due to expire in August 2015. He is NOC 0621. I was unable to join him in Canada, and am too...

Hi there, Hoping to get some guidance. My partner and I recently sent an application for PR under the CEC stream. My partner is the principal applicant, with myself as his common law partner. The application was received by CIC on 30 December. He is NOC 0621. My partner's IEC visa is due to...

That's right amira_mais. I'll be having a discussion with him about what program they are applying under. That should provide some clarity.

Thanks for your response canuck_in_uk. I'm not sure what else I need to get guidance on at the moment...I was all over the sponsorship application before being told that both our applications should be processed with his! I'm sure I'll have many questions once the process begins :)

Thanks so much truesmile. I think I have told him 15 times in the last 2 days to make sure his employer includes me as his partner on his application, so hopefully the message got through :)

Quick follow up question for clarity. the CIC website, in relation to CEC applications, says: "If you are married or live with a common-law partner in Canada, and that person also meets the above conditions, you can decide which one of you will apply under the CEC as a principal applicant. A...

Hi there. It was suggested that I post questions regarding my situation in this forum. I have already received some great advice. Just wanting to get my head around this whole visa application process. My situation is pretty much this: My partner, an Australian, is currently on a working...

Ok great - thanks Rob_TO

Oh really! That is so helpful, thank you. I will be sure to call him and have him speak to the person who is completing the PR forms for him to make sure it is all processed properly. Thank you for such a quick response.

Thanks for your response Rob_TO. We have lived together for approximately 4 years, and owned a house together up until November 2012, so proof of that will not be too much of an issue. When you say I "would need to be included in his PR application", what do you mean? That I would need to be...

I should add to this request for information....is there anything specific we should be doing with his application for PR to make things easier for my eventual application? They are just waiting on the Australian Federal Police check before lodging his application.

Hello. Hoping to get some direction. My partner, an Australian, is currently on a working holiday visa in Canada. His employer in Canada is undertaking the process to sponsor him for permanent residency. I am still in Australia. He has been in Canada since August 2013. We are both Australian...
