Awesome! Thank you so much! So I wouldn't need to submit 5 photos of myself as I'm the sponsor and not a "family member", correct?

Hey everyone, So I'm putting some final touches on my girlfriend's application; however, we keep running into a terminology question. She and I are commonlaw, neither of us have kids or were ever married. "Family Members": does this refer to her, the applicant, AND me, the spouse/sponsor? For...

Thanks everyone, that makes a lot more sense! I had thought it was better to provide actual photos, but this seems much cleaner and more organized!

Hey everyone, Getting everything together to send for an outland application. I read that all photos should be "loose", but this seems extremely messy. I had created a table of contents and wanted to organize the photos chronologically (maybe putting photos for each event into one of those...

Hi everyone! You guys have been a lot of help, and I'm hoping you can help me with some finishing touches. Sponsor Questionnaire (IMM5490E), question 11 asks: "Did your sponsor meet any of your close friends or family?". For us the answer is yes (gf is the applicant, and I've met her parents...

Hi everyone, Couple questions regarding the partner questionnaire (IMM5490E) I am in a common-law relationship with my girlfriend (we both live together in Canada) 1. Question 20 asks if we are "in a common-law relationship". If I answer yes to this question, do I ignore question 21 (Are you...

Thank you so much man! I was pretty confident about it, but wouldn't it suck to submit everything and have it returned 6 months later? Good to know I'm on the right track

Hey guys, I realize I've been posting quite a bit today, but it's only because everyone's input has been invaluable to my girlfriend's application! I have (hopefully) one final question: There are a ton of spots in the application that ask for information from the spouse/common-law partner...

Hi everyone! So I've been helping my girlfriend do her applications, and I've run into a snag. I finished all the forms (in English), but reading through the China-specific guidelines (3903e), it seems that they want some sections in Chinese (i.e. present address). Should we give our present...

Okay, that's what I'll do; Thanks man!

Okay sounds good. I guess I can't just print the form out a second time and fill the thing in with Chinese? Have an English version and a Chinese version and just staple them together?

Hi guys! I have what seems to be a pretty simple problem, but I just want to ensure that it's done correctly. I'm filling in forms for my girlfriend, who is from China. We are doing an outland application now, and some areas need the information in both English AND Chinese. There is too much...

Thanks Kayaker, I'm assuming I should use the forms found on the link provided by Canuck up above? Looks like I have to redo the whole application >:(

Also, it seems a little strange that we would apply outside of Canada, given what is asked on the CIC website: "If your spouse or partner lives with you in Canada, use the Application for Permanent Residence in Canada—Spouse or Common-Law Partner. Note: if a child of your spouse or partner is...

Thank you everyone! Yes I've heard that it's faster to apply outland. Do you think that it would be more difficult to get accepted if we applied outland, even though my girlfriend has a work permit and lives here in Canada? Question 12 does look like the perfect place for this extra...

Hi everyone! First time poster, long time lurker! I spent a lot of time shifting through the forum, but couldn't find an answer to these two questions. I've seen that a lot of people provide chat logs and letters (this was also recommended on the sticky). My question is, does everyone provide...
