    Obtaining FBI Police certificate in Canada

    Hey everyone, I’m going to be submitting a spousal visa application for my soon to be spouse in the next couple months but I’m having trouble figuring out how to go about getting a police check. I did see the link on the Canada website for obtaining one but I don’t understand where we’re able...

    Time between spouse application sent and OWP received

    Oh okay, that makes a little more sense. Pardon me for my next stupid question but I’m just so overwhelmed; since she’s an American and she would only be in Canada for about a month before we sent in the app and US citizens don’t need visitors visas, does this mean she would have visitor status...

    Time between spouse application sent and OWP received

    Hey, I’m sure this is answered somewhere but I’m still so confused. I was under the impression that if I (a Canadian citizen) sponsored my wife (and American citizen) as inland, we could apply for an OWP with it and that it would take 4-5 months to be approved. However, after reading a bunch of...

    Background check, no conviction/case dropped and filed expunged

    hey, I’m just wondering if my American spouse was in custody in 2013 for assault (there was an altercation between her and her sisters friend) but there was never a conviction/the charges were dropped and the record has since been expunged, is there any reason her application would get denied...

    Driving across the US boarder as a visitor to apply for inland

    Darn. I guess I figured that since she could be a visitor for 6 months that having the majority of her stuff wouldn’t impact us negatively. We aren’t planning on packing anything more than what can fit in her truck but I guess even still it might look like she has no ties to her country. I...

    Driving across the US boarder as a visitor to apply for inland

    Hello, My girlfriend and I plan to get married this year and apply for a spouse visa. She’s from the states and I’m a citizen of Canada. Our plan was originally to apply for an Outland and an OWP, then I fly down to her and we drive up/move her belongings but then I read somewhere OWP’s are...

    What exactly is considered a legal barrier regarding conjugal partners?

    Thank you so much for all the help by the way. I already feel like some of the stress is lifting. I was hoping because she was from the US it might make it easier. Does it look like a red flag if we plan to elope? Because we’re both so broke and because we’ve been waiting years to be together...

    What exactly is considered a legal barrier regarding conjugal partners?

    So if we get married and we provide phone logs, conversations, pictures of us together, activities we’ve done together, and letters from friends and family confirming our relationship (I think I saw they aren’t needed but I figure it would help), that should be enough evidence that our...

    What exactly is considered a legal barrier regarding conjugal partners?

    So then when we do get married, is it still okay that we wouldn’t have anything in both of our names yet? We would likely apply for the spouse visa and the open work permit but once again, due to financial reasons, she wouldn’t be able to come here until the work permit was approved so we...

    What exactly is considered a legal barrier regarding conjugal partners?

    That’s what I figured but I wanted to make sure I was looking at every option. So since neither of us qualify for skilled worker visas or anything like that, how could we go about living together? Is the only way for one of us to be able to financially support us both? I’m really confused as to...

    What exactly is considered a legal barrier regarding conjugal partners?

    Hello, My girlfriend and met online and have been together now since 2015. I live in Alberta and she lives in Texas. Our understanding has always been that the only way we could live together is if one of us could support the other as neither of us can afford to be out of work for long periods...
