Hi! Whoops I'm sorry I didn't answer this earlier! Computer problems! Hmm my partner is not living in Canada, but maybe our file was processed in Missisauga because my partner had previously spent a year in Canada on a work and travel visa and thus is already in the system to a certain extent...

thanks Josh! so I guess we have to send a whole new set of passport photos.. strange. Do they need to be dated and all that as well?

Hi! PA is from Germany, here is our timeline: application received Nov.13th 2018 AOR 1: Jan.16th 2019 Biometrics request: Feb 12th 2019 Sponsor Approval: Feb. 13th Biometrics received: Feb. 19th Medical instructions: Feb.19th file transferred to Missisauga: Feb.27th Medical passed: Mar. 5th...

Decision made! Yahoo! We received a letter asking for a copy of the PA's passport etc! I am just confused about one thing... whether or not we need to submit new photos. We submitted the application to Sydney, and then it got transferred and processed in Mississauga. So I think that yes, we...

Hi Josh! Yes I am sponsoring my partner. OK this is good to know! Thanks !

Question about job continuity after Sponsor Approval Hi everyone! I have been approved as a sponsor and now the PA application is being processed. I am considering changing jobs and I might be unemployed for a short time. Will this put our application in jeopardy? Does anyone have experience...

Hello! I finally received AOR 1 today as well! Application delivered: Nov 15th, 2018 AOR 1 Jan 16th, 2019 Whew - 2 months!

Hello November applicants! I am sponsoring my German partner. Application delivered: Nov 15 Here we go!

thanks!

Hi all! I live in a cabin with no postal code! I have provided a mailing address WITH a postal code on my IMM1344 form, but I cannot validate the form unless I provide a postal code for my residential address too. I don't want to misrepresent! Any ideas? Thanks!

Maybe a silly question, but I can't find the answer. If a passport is in german, english, and french (i.e. Vorname/Given names/Prenoms) do I still have to translate it? Everything is in all three languages EXCEPT for eye colour, which is written only in german. Thanks!

I have been reading about all this 'family book' confusion, but I still am not quite sure that I have the right answer... My partner is german and his parents have a 'family book' that contains his birth certificate - but it does not seem to be listed as a country specific requirement. Also, I...

thanks!

Hello! I have a couple of questions about my address history as a sponsor… I have moved around and travelled a lot over the last 5 years and thus have found it easiest to use my parent’s address as my official/mailing address. When he was in Canada my partner (the PA) did the same – both he and...

Thanks Classic Chucks! Super Helpful. FYI I am the 'her' in this relationship ;)

Thanks! Ok they are serious about this eh - I can't change to visitor status after a work and travel visa, so I guess I will just have to make sure my partner travels with me when I head back to Canada. Thanks! This forum is incredibly helpful.

Hi! My work and travel visa in Germany is strictly one year long, and because I ended up flying to Germany two days after my visa started, I will have to leave, having spent 2 days less than a full year in the country. My partner and I are using this year as our '12 months cohabitation' to...

Hi! I am also gathering letters from family and friends - and I am wondering, do they need to be notarized? Thanks!

Hmm does traveling together count? For example, if we lived in Germany together for 9 months and then went to Canada to travel for a month before finding a place to live together in Canada, will this still be considered 'cohabiting'? We are together even though we are moving around? Thanks so...

Shoot. Good to know though and I am glad I thought to ask!
