Hi! I'm currently here on a SP until April 31st. I put my spousal sponsorship plus OWP application in last week. As I have about a 4 month wait between now and getting my OWP what happens to my status in between that time? Am I on implied status? If so can I work until the OWP is officially...

Hi! My spouse is a citizen and I am the principal applicant. They are a PhD student and need to travel outside Canada for conferences (eg they’re going to Mexico for a week and Europe for two weeks). I’ve heard there’s a lot of potential issues for PAs leaving Canada when the application is in...

Hi! So I have printed off all the spousal sponsorship forms. I thought I put "not applicable" in the sections where this is relevant. However I noticed I missed a few. Can I just write this in by hand rather than having to print it off again? Cheers!

Lol so this where the confusion comes in - I was responding to the one person in this thread who said that only common law couples need to supply letters. I didn’t say that the lawyer told me that letters are required in any case - but they are potentially one of the 2 required forms of...

Hi! I double checked IMM5533e - it states that if we haven't been married for a minimum of two years prior to the date of application, then we must choose 2 of at least 4 options for proof of our relationship - one of which is letters of support from friends and family. We were only married in...

O OK! That's odd because someone who has just qualified as an immigration lawyer told us that married people need 4 letters of support.

Hi! I have a question regarding the common overlap between friends and exes in queer relationships, and whether this acts as a flag for immigration. The pool of people within the LGBT community is small in Canada (I'm from the UK so its bigger but even then this often happens) so I feel it is...

That’s not what I see on the QC government page. It says that after you apply to the IRCC you must make a second application to Quebec which has its own specific requirements. It states that that sponsoring spouse must have a minimum income of 23K...

Hi there! I am a British international student studying at a school in NFLD, living with my spouse in QC. My spouse is from NFLD but is doing a masters and then a PhD at Montreal school. So we will both be living in Quebec for at least the next 3-4 years. We planned to put the application to...

Hi! I've applied for multiple study permit extensions and something happened with this one that's not occurred before. Basically my former permit expired July 31st, I sent in my extension application July 25 (I'm disorganised but this is nothing unusual), then waited until October 10th when it...

Hi, I applied for my study permit extension July 21st, expiry date on my current study permit was July 31st. I am currently in Canada. I'm a UK citizen. I came here before biometrics was mandatory so I have not had it done yet. I was under the impression that I would receive an instruction...

Hi there! My partner and I are getting married in September. We plan to get our application in by October (maybe that's too ambitious but we'll see :)). I am currently in Canada on a study permit. My question is, should I apply to get my UK and Canadian police certificate now (June) so we get...

Hi! I did go on authorized leave, I didn’t just stop turning up to class :)

I am a masters student from Britain who is currently on leave since Jan 2018. I moved back to the UK in January. I have a study permit that expires 30/07/18. I plan to return to school in Canada in September 2018. I would also like to return for a few months before then, in July 2018, to be with...

Hi! Does someone who has refugee status in Canada, and who is still waiting for their work permit (depending on the results of their medical examination), eligible for the exemption on a work permit for clergy? This seems to be the case for temporary foreign workers but I can't find information...
