    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    My common law partner did his landing in Boundary Bay, BC on Jan. 23, 2016 and still has not received his PR card. He phoned the call centre about a month ago, and spoke to someone entirely useless, who basically said, they have everything they need from him, it just hasn't been processed yet...

    CPP-Ottawa

    I received this exact same e-mail from Vienna and was utterly confused. Especially since my common law partner is American, and we are no longer residing in Germany...When I contacted Vienna, I received an equally confusing response back. :S

    Application sent to wrong visa office?

    Last week, I finally received DM on Ecas. Today, I received an e-mail from the Vienna office that our application is in the final stages of processing. So, my common law partner is American, however, we were living in Germany when we applied. We have since moved, I am in Canada and my partner is...

    Mailing Address Missing?

    Hello all, I updated the mailing and home address information for both my common law partner and myself - however, since it was updated, it no longer shows a mailing address online, only a home address? Is this because our mailing address/home address are the same or is something missing...

    Questions - Extending Visitor Stay

    I'm not sure why I always find these forms so utterly confusing :( I'm applying for a visitor extension for my American common-law partner. 1. Do we need to include the Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union? We already have a sponsorship application in progress, is this required for the...

    Extending Visitor Visa

    Thanks for the info! We've been living together for the past 6 years abroad. I came back to Canada mid May, and then he was visiting his family in the US for a couple of weeks, and then flew up here. So problem issue showing the common law part - I was just confused by the word of the question...

    Updating Address

    I need to update the address for my common law partner (he's American.) As he's currently "visiting" with me in Canada, basically until he gets his PR, is it okay to list both his mailing and home address as a Canadian address? Or does his home address need to be listed as an American address...

    Extending Visitor Visa

    Hello all, My common-law partner has been "visiting" me here in Canada since June. As his 6-month period is going to be up, I'm working on applying for an extension. I'm filling out the "are you eligible to apply online" questionnaire, and I'm confused by the questions "are you accompanying a...

    Requesting Notes

    I'm thinking that I would like to go ahead and request a copy of my notes. Silly question, but when it says "what type of records do you wish to request," do I select "case files," or "corporate records?" Also, if I am the sponsor, do I have to fill it out as if I am ordering on someone's...

    Extending Visitor Stay vs. Looping the Flagpole

    Thanks for the input! It's not really even about $100, since taking a trip across the border would actually end up costing us more. I think I'm more concerned about filling out something for the visitor extension incorrectly, and having it denied. As far as implied status goes, as long as...

    Extending Visitor Stay vs. Looping the Flagpole

    My boyfriend, who is American has been "living" with me in Canada since June as a visitor. We have an outland sponsorship application in process, which we were hoping would go through before his 6 month visitor period was up, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. We live relatively...

    Where is my application being processed?

    This is probably a very stupid question - my boyfriend and I have an outland application in progress (he's American.) We had our sponsorship approval done in Mississauga, and then I just assumed (or I think I saw somewhere...?) that our application went on to Ottawa. I know that's where most of...

    How to update address?

    Can we give my Canadian address as his home address as well? He's here officially as a visitor (although will have to either leave and come back or apply to extend his visitor status quite soon) Or does his home address need to be US since he's American?

    Background Checks - validity period?

    Jeez, I wish CIC would stop constantly changing stuff around. So, we got his German police certificate while we were living in Germany, but as of May 15, he is now living with me in Canada as visitor - does this mean that his German police certificate needs to have been issued after he left...

    Background Checks - validity period?

    Are background checks valid as long as they are received by CIC within 3 months of being issued? Or do they actually need to be processed by CIC within the 3 months? Logic would tell me that if applications can take years to process, that it wouldn't make any sense to have to keep sending...

    Sending Additional Documents? + FBI clearance

    So, my common law partner and I had obtained his background clearance from a 3rd party channeler right before CIC decided to no longer accept background checks from channelers. We went ahead and submitted our application in the meantime, and have now received our official FBI clearance. So far...
