Hi Everyone, Just wanted to write and give an update on our status. So we received a letter back from the Vancouver office on October 4th that they were sending an IO to Victoria so we had our landing in Victoria instead of Vancouver. It was really casual and quick, probably 15 minutes from...

Hi everyone, a quick update on my previous post for anyone interested. I finally got a hold of a call centre agent this morning and asked them about the letter regarding the two options for the interview and how to pay the residence fee, this is what he told me: The letter with the options to...

I posted this in the 2011 inland thread, but thought I would post here and see if anyone else has had similar correspondence. Hey everyone, Congrats to all those who have completed their journey and good luck to those of us still finishing. I wanted to ask if anyone has any opinions or...

Hey everyone, Congrats to all those who have completed their journey and good luck to those of us still finishing. I wanted to ask if anyone has any opinions or advice on our situation right now. First a little background so you know where we are: Sent application: March 8, 2011 CIC...

Hey everyone, I posted in this forum quite some time ago and haven't remembered to follow up...:S I just wanted to post an update and see if anyone had any similar experience. A quick history: In-land PR common-law application Processing Centre: Vegreville Application submitted: March 8...

Yes, we will be setting up an appointment in the next few days. Does anyone know of a lawyer in Victoria that offers free consultation or a fair rate? We have a contact for one which will cost $350. To be honest, we're not sure if that's pretty standard or not. Willing to pay if it's what is...

To Sasmak, Interesting, I can't imagine waiting an entire year for the restoration notice!! Your suggestion of applying for restoration now concerns us a little, and after reading other similar situations, in that if we apply, the only reason we could give is that we "will" be applying for PR...

Ok, that's crappy?!! So after this whole process is completed and for some reason they still refuse the common-law PR application, do we have alternate to apply for PR after that? Thanks for the info.

Thank you, yes we will definitely make sure to include the references to the regulations allowing the Restoration application 90 days after the notice. We very appreciate your help (and everyone else's too, a great deal) we've learned a lot about the whole application process in a very short...

Thank you so much for all the information and replies! It's amazing how something so seemingly simple (meet, fall in love, want to be together) can be frought with so many rules, regulations, forms, applications, fees, judgments...etc.!!! aaahh!!! We're definitely going to try to see...

RobsLuv, Thanks for the info. While staying in Canada without being able to work and leave to visit her family is definitely not an ideal situation, it's really the lesser of two evils (much much lesser), as the alternate is for her to leave, and with my job and income it would not make...

Thank you for the replies, it is much appreciated. Hello to you to fellow Victorianite!! (?) We are not certain if the 90 days is from the day of the last extension expiry which was July 10th or from the date of the letter September 23rd. If it's from the date of the letter then yes 90 days...

Thank you for the information. Proving the common-law partnership is something that we feel confident in doing, as we have many photos, friends witnessing the relationship, we travelled last Christmas across Canada together, we are on a lease together and have joint credit cards, as well, she...

Hello Everyone, I’m new to this site so I apologize if this is a duplicate thread. I looked around a bit but couldn’t find anything that suited my specific circumstances. I’m hoping some of you can offer some guidance to the current situation my girlfriend and I are in. I’ll try to explain...
