Awesome, thank you! Yeah, once we get a renewed Visitor Record I'm going to go back to the registry- an employee there told us that he's not eligible for a driver's license if he just has a visitor's visa/record. I think she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. We're in Alberta =p

Hello everyone! I'm a Canadian citizen, my husband is American and is living with me here in Canada while we wait for his permanent residency. We mailed the application in September, and got notice via email on Nov. 10 that I've been approved as a sponsor and his application is being processed...

Ahhhhhh! Thank you! I feel so much better! I put so much effort into that stupid application, and then to think that I had messed it up... ugh. Thanks again =)

Hi everyone... So my husband and I are living in Calgary, he has a visitor's visa from the US. We mailed in our outland PR application a few weeks ago, are still waiting for the AOR. I decided that we should probably extend his visitor's visa just in case, because it expires in November, and I...

Awesome, thank you! Not quite sure where I got the idea that it goes to Buffalo (old info, maybe?) But I'm glad to hear that CIC takes care of it. I'm fairly certain I filled out the required docs for outland, but just to be sure, its the ones listed in guide #3900, correct...

Hi everyone! On the advice of folks here, myself (Canadian) and my husband (American) have decided to file for permanent residency via the outland method, even though we are living in Canada. I finally have the application ready to go (stupid FBI clearance took forever to get!) and am not quite...

You guys are so helpful! It definitely seems like outland is the way to go. My husband is currently here on a 6 month visitor visa, would it probably be a good idea to apply for an extension to that while we're waiting for the PR to be approved? We were told that once he had applied for PR...

Gotcha. Can I ask which visa office you used (if you did the outland)? The average processing time for the LA office is 32 months (!!!) and there isn't a time listed for NYC.

Ok, that definitely makes sense. So how does this actually work? Do I just follow the instructions in the CIC Guide 3900 (I can't seem to post a link) even though it says spouse living outside of Canada? And just use our address in Canada where appropriate? Sorry if these are stupid questions...

Thanks for the replies! Could either of you expand on this a bit? How does the outland application differ, if we are already physically in Canada? Also, our main concern right now is the work permit, which we were hoping would only take 6-8 months with the inland application. I don't really see...

Hi everyone! My husband and I are just starting our immigration adventure. I'm Canadian, he's American, and we arrived in Calgary a week ago. He has a 6 month visa. We will be putting together the PR application soon and were told that we could submit an application for an open work permit at...
