My application was received November 26th (In-land Spousal Sponsorship/Permanent Resident) and I'm still waiting to hear any sort of confirmation or at least the AOR1. Not the patient type :)

Thanks for the advice canuck _in_uk!!! That is what our plans were looking more towards because the border gave me quite a hard time when I crossed with a few of my possessions (books and clothes). So I could easily seem them refusing me if I don't have anything processing or in place. I can...

My girlfriend and I are in a particular situation that has been proving to be quite difficult to have me reside in Canada as a visitor, then marry. We plan to marry in December but I am only allowed to stay until mid-October. The border gave me a very hard time just trying to bring some of my...

Scylla - thank you for the response, I greatly appreciate it but this all sounds like bad news to me. "Note that as a visitor, you are not allowed to work at all (even volunteering for your business is illegal) and you would not be covered by the Canadian health care program (make sure you...
