canadian sponsoring japanese common law partner here. sent the outland package while living in canada in nov 2014, got stage one approval in february, got held up after they sent us an email requesting more proof of our common law partnership. sent a few extra photos and documents and got our...

seems like you'll have to wait until it says 'decision made' .. similar thing happened to me, and we're still waiting to see what 'decision' has been 'made' :)

haven't been updating much, but thought i'd share where we're at right now. mailed the application december, got stage 1 approval pretty quick, then waited and waited for ecas to update. manila office asked me for an appendix a and some more proof that our common law relationship was/is...

If i recall correctly, those two documents expire 6 months after their date of issue, and must be submitted to cic before that date. the police certificate lasts 3 months i believe. i haven't read anywhere about people being asked to resubmit expired tohons, but some people just played it safe...

We made sure everything was dated for the full year, from day 1 to day 366, Bank statements, and Official letters included. I've been researching forms of certification for declaring a common law relationship, but I suppose attaching that now wouldn't mean much. We originally made the decision...

Hello there, I'm a Canadian citizen and was approved to sponsor my Japanese common-law partner for Permanent Residency. We applied outland, though she is currently visiting me here in Canada. We'd like to go to Japan together for a month or so, then come back and continue waiting for stage 2...

I've been informed by a cic agent over the phone that the police cert only needs to by valid as of mailing it, so i'm not too worried about mailing a soon to expire police cert. The issue is it would take 3-5 months to get a replacement police cert. they don't mind if it's not technically valid...

I've been advised that if absolutely necessary, i may attach a letter to my application package explaining why my option C will be sent later (most likely 1-2 weeks) than the rest of the application. Is this a common occurrence? will the people processing my application be understanding and put...
