This may be a silly question, but: I started the process online and it requires a digital copy of a photo. But on the document checklist (IMM5558E), it's not required...it just asks for photocopy of passport/immigration doc, etc. So should I just apply with paper? The dimensions and...

Thanks for the input, guys. So let me see if I understand this correctly. In terms of wording, whether I apply with outland or inland app...when I re-enter I must always say that I'm visiting right? And I should be upfront about my PR application at the border while clearly communicating that I...

Hi sophieee, thanks for all your information. Reading through this thread has been helpful, but also raised some questions for me. I'll try to make my situation as clear and detailed for you! In Brief: I'm a US citizen. On our last re-entry to Canada from vacation (March 21), I was given a...

Ah, okay. I see. Maybe I'm using the wrong acronym here. I have a visitor record right now that is set to expire on April 20th and I'm extending that while we prepare to send off my PR sponsorship application before my status expires. I thought it was the same thing as TRV. So just to confirm...

I think they will mainly ask you where you live, why you're here and when you say "wedding"...then they will follow-up with whether you intend to live in Canada after the wedding. If that's the case, then you could run into problems because that's not "visitor behavior" It depends on the...

Okay, just to make sure I've understood this correctly. I tried to organize my questions: 1. If I (US citizen with common-law partner) apply inland attached with an OWP application AND I continually request to extend my TRV....assuming my TRV extension requests are always granted, having a OWP...

Thanks for sharing your story! I was wondering how to attach the separate things together...placed all in one PDF file is smart!

(sorry if this question has already been answered or is in the wrong thread) Does anyone know if the OWP is issued immediately (or at least soon) after your inland application is received? I know outland apps for US citizens are processed way faster than inland apps. But I don't mind waiting...

Perfect. That was pretty much what I eventually concluded. To include as much proof as possible. And yes, totally going with outland app. We just downloaded and organized all the stuff needed for the outland app now that my extension app is more or less figured out. Thanks!

I'm not an idiot. Just lots of info I'm trying to get straight here! But first, I believe you are wrong about the Open Work Permit (OWP)... it is now allowed for INLAND common-law sponsorship after stage 1 is complete. But since processing times for INLAND take so long, someone else kindly...

Ah, I saw the answer in the pinned topic you recommended. Okay, we'll shoot for OUTLAND :)

LOL. Thanks for the reply! We don't need the OWP, my partner's salary can support us both with no problems. But the main concern: can I still have a valid reason to extend my stay in Canada as a visitor when we're applying as OUTLAND? Do they not check if it's outland or not when granting...

Is this going to red flag me? I am a US citizen. I am not working because I am visitor status in Canada and it's true that I am trying to immigrate here to be with my common-law partner legally. He fully supports me, especially since I am not allowed to legally work in Canada yet. The...

Guys, it's complicated. At least, to this newb it seems so. And to throw curveballs, my partner and I are planning on taking a summer trip this year, which may last 1 or 2 months (but given this sudden wrench in my status, not sure if it can still be done). Anyhow, onto the URGENT matter...can...
