    condition 51 incorrectly applied?

    Hi Everyone, Just got our COPR in the mail last week (whoop!). However, we noticed that it has a condition 51 attached. We've been married a year, and living together for 8 years. Is this worth bothering about, or should we just leave it? Could it cause us any problems in the future? We...

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Same here - ECAS changed a couple days after our PPR and myCIC after about 10 days. No idea why though!

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Hi Everyone! Today, I received an email that myCIC had been updated - yet there are no updates! Still says background check in progress and final decision not made. So I found this a bit odd... However, today my husband also received an email from Vienna office asking for (a copy of) his...

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Congrats PandaChan! That's great! Awesome to see some more movement on the forum. Every application they approve means more room to work on the rest of ours! Btw, did your partner live or study in Canada previously? I have a theory on speedy application processes I'm trying to gather data...

    FEBRUARY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hi DBHC, i know this was a while ago but did you submit your Dutch police certificate by email or post? The email we got from CIC contradicts itself...send original of PCC, (no address) and a few lines down, please respond to this email, unless requested to send originals .. Thanks!

    Vienna apparently rarely or never sends AOR2, if you are wondering specifically about your VO :)

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Another Aug 30 SA! saw myCIC change to review of eligibility a few days ago and rec'd the email last night at 6:15PM EST. AOR1 email also came at 07:00am...extra shifts or perhaps overtime? I usually stop anxiously checking my email for CIC updates outside 9-5 EST -- a watched pot never boils...

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    hey! i just figured out the quote function. go me :P I don't actually know, but from what I've read from others on the forum its as you suggest - that review of eligibility is referring to the PA application after SA approval. Which also seems consistent with other people reporting change to...

    @jms627 no, but we also didn't include it in the application. (State/Province is not applicable in this country context).

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    @jms627 We got into myCIC (after loads of tries) with PA UCI (because we already had it before AOR1), then PA last name, city/country of birth and intend to live information. Wife sponsoring husband no dependents, so we put 2 in number. No additional info, only what was required to send form.

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Great news for all the quick SA approvals from July applicants! I am here to happily announce we finally got AOR1 today, submitted July 29. Weirdly, the email was sent to the principal applicant and not the sponsor - but we are nevertheless happy and very relieved. Happy days! :D

    ***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

    Hi Everyone, We submitted our app July 29 (signed for at Mississauga) and we still haven't got AOR1 (though it seems that people just before us were only getting it Friday, 25 day average or so). However, I was able to link our application in myCIC from my husband's old UCI from a WHV many...

    Writing N/A on document checklist - esp. #17

    I had the identical situation, I checked the box as it is applicable, and I did provide an explanation and foreign tax info I want them to know is there. We just submitted today though, so I can't give info on how successful that strategy was, but it seems intuitive! BTW, with regards to the...

    OPTION C OUTLAND??

    Hi Everyone, Getting mixed messages on the posts I've been reading in the past couple days, so I just want to confirm/clarify - as of Feb 2016 sponsors no longer need to provide an option-C right? I haven't filed taxes in Canada in 5 years (non-resident for tax purposes) and I happen to have...

    how long do you have to arrive after (hypothetical) approval - outland spousal

    Hi Everyone, I am Canadian, my husband is Dutch and we have been living together in the Netherlands for 7 years, after 1 year of cohabiting in Canada while he was on a WHV (although we only recently married). After years of discussing the timing is finally right and we are about to embark on...
