Fantastic news! Thanks for your advice and help and all the best to you both.

Cheers and thank you for the advice and information.

Thanks again for the advice and good luck with your application! May I ask when you submitted?

Thank you very much for the response. Did you apply for the inland or outland application for your husband?

Thanks for the input and yes I agree the consultation is very expensive. I am just evaluating the options at this point, but am definitely leaning towards the option of doing it all myself and leveraging the knowledge of this forum. Thanks again.

Thank you very much and yes if you could share his information that would be greatly appreciated. By waiting for her passport back to you mean the PR has essentially been approved? Do you mind sharing approximate costs of these services?

Thank you for the information it is very much appreciated.

Thank you. Do you have experience using him and it was positive? If so, what did you have him help with (i.e. review of completed application, assembly of application, general consultation advice, etc...)? Thanks again.

Hello, I will be preparing a spousal sponsorship application in January (as this is when we will be getting married). My partner is from Brazil and will be coming to Canada. I was wondering if anyone has used immigration consultants in the Calgary area, what there experiences have been, what...

Hello, currently I have a conjugal partner application that was submitted in June 2019 that is pending review. After hearing opinions on this thread it appears as if it is very likely that this application will be rejected. My partner and I are planning on getting married in January/February...

Thank you for the clarification and examples and understood. Much appreciated.

Thanks and all the best to you as well.

Thanks for the inputs. I understand where you are coming from and the reasons for the delineations. I misinterpreted the "barriers" sections when reading up on the definitions and that they are restricted to legal, religious, or other extenuating circumstances and not necessarily financial or...

Correct. The living together for 12 months is the current challenge. She "lived" with me in NZ for her last 3 months there and I have been "living" with her for the past 5 months in Brazil (but unfortunately have to return to Canada to work in 3 weeks). It would be difficult to prove living...

Do you think that it is 100% chance it would be rejected, or is there any merit in waiting until they make a judgement? My partner and I are looking into getting married in January/February, but if there is a chance the application may be approved then we may just leave the application in the...

Great information and thanks again! All of this information and help is very much appreciated.

Is the open work permit only a possibility for the applying "In-Canada" and not when applying from outside?

Thank you very much for the response and that makes sense. If we were to get married, apply for a spousal visa under the family class and then apply for the extension I am assuming the process would be pretty straight forward. On that same token if we were establishing a common-law relationship...

So is the 180 days just per visit and it resets each time? Does she just need to satisfy the border guard that she is just visiting and not living? From your experience are these extensions requests regularly approved without much question for situations that are working towards common-law?

Thanks for such a quick reply. How would the 180 day limit on the TRV affect the common-law? Is the 180 day limit per calendar year, or what are the specific restrictions. Would it not be difficult to prove living together for 12 months if she only ever had a TRV? Thanks again for your help!
