Good idea, but given the need to distance and the time it would take I’ll just do the paperwork. I also have zero confidence that they will accept anything at this point, so could just be another 1-2 weeks of wasted time.

I wonder what sort of proof would be acceptable to convince them 100%. A statutory declaration and a selfie in front of the CN tower with today’s newspaper maybe? Absolutely ridiculous. They could at least provide some suggestions like they do in other applications. We will fill out the forms...

Just as a follow up, credit card activity and phone records were deemed insufficient proof of presence in Canada. Besides the fact that IRCC/CBSA should already know if the PA is in Canada or not (since they are here legally) I find this ridiculous. They didn’t bother to suggest what kind of...

Thanks!

Certainly the fee isn’t the top priority. I also wanted to avoid filling unnecessary forms. I’m not trying to do anything shady here - since the PA actually is in Canada, the Privacy Act is the most appropriate route to apply under, and I’d do it regardless of the fee.

Most Canadian airports no longer stamp passports, and even with a stamp it doesn’t prove the person is still in Canada months later. I’m thinking of a selfie with today’s local newspaper but it seems kind of ridiculous.

We applied for GCMS notes for our PR application, and since PA is currently in Canada on a TRV, we applied under the Privacy Act to avoid the extra form and paying the fee. They are now asking for proof that PA is in Canada. Shouldn’t they already know this from immigration records? What kind of...

Sorry to all that have been waiting for over a year. Looking through the tracker, it seems that 2019 applicants have only been transferred to Mexico starting in October, regardless of which month they applied. This seems to indicate that Mexico load was lightened for many months so they could...

No notes at all from the PR side of the application apart from date of receipt at the Sydney intake office. Biometrics number was updated after the test was done, but that’s it. Sponsorship has been approved and we got an e-mail saying the application is being transferred to Mexico, but no...

Hi all, Our file just got transferred to Mexico (no AOR 2 yet). The weird thing is we received and completed biometric request but we haven’t received a medical request yet. Is this normal or something to worry about? Also, there is zero information on ECAS other than that they received our...

Anybody?

I’m stuck on the “from” and “to” for current country of residence. Principal applicant has been living in Canada with common-law partner since Aug 2018 with a TRV, but has left the country a couple of times for vacation and so as not to overstay the visa. Would Aug 2018 be the “from” date? What...

It’s just one part of the proof to show that we take trips together in the times we’ve been out of the country. We’ll also be signing the common law declaration. Thank you for your help :)

Thank you. Yes, we’ll have proof (lease, joint account, boarding passes, letter from landlord). Letters I’m talking about are more to prove the relationship is genuine, so that should be ok if written a bit ahead of time?

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Also, would there be any issue with my common-law spouse travelling without me after the PR application is sent? She would like to visit family for about a month and I won't be able to get that much time off from work.

Hi, My partner and I will be common law in August of this year. We would like to apply for PR as soon as the one year mark hits. Is it ok to have the police certificates and any letters etc. ready before this date, or does all documentation have to be initiated after the official start of...

Hi all, hoping you can help. My friend is applying for a TRV from Brazil but has visited Spain and has obtained residency there due to family ties. Would it be beneficial to mention this (as Spain is a more "trusted" country) or would this weaken his tie to Brazil in the eyes of CIC and arouse...
