Your situation sounds exactly like mine and my partner's. My partner is a Canadian Citizen (by descent - had never lived in Canada), who sponsored me via Outland Spousal sponsorship. Our application was approved July 2021, and we have immigrated to Canada last October. To provide intent, my...

Hi, I have recently immigrated to Canada after my common-law partner who is a Canadian citizen sponsored me (outland). We focused on providing proof that we live together, but we also provided screenshots of our social media pages, phone calls etc.. You can have a look at what we gave as...

We just wanted to make the most of our time being unemployed until we settle into our new jobs, hence can't really postpone. Travelling cross-country in Canada was our first preference for a vacation, however given that we will be arriving late October we were worried it might be dangerous to...

Since I will not yet have my PR card, I will not be able to use this upon re-entry to Canada. The only option would be a PRTD, and given that I would not have satisfied residency obligations yet as I understand it, the application can be refused and my PR status might be questioned. Am I missing...

Hi, We are currently looking into options on how and when to enter Canada now that we have went through a sponsorship process and have a COPR. Is one required to stay in Canada for 133 days (current "new PR card" processing time) following initial entry in Canada and until the new PR card is...

Thanks for your reply. Since, the PRTD cannot be applied for from within Canada, I would need to apply once I begin my travels, hence risking my application to be denied and then not being able to enter Canada. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a better way to approach this?

Hi all, I have received my COPR and will be landing in Ontario this October. Me and my Canadian common-law partner are planning to go on vacation (outside of Canada) once I receive my PR card (which as I understand is approx. 45 days after landing). We would really like to make the best use of...

My partner owns the apartment. We have a few email threads with both myself and my partner included in communications with other residents in the block discussing renovations and condominium issues, was going to include those as proof as well. In addition to the proof I mentioned in previous...

Thanks for getting back. If by letters you mean letters from friends and family highlighting date we moved in together then yes, we have such letters. We can provide bills having one of our names. I guess we weren't going to include since they only include one of our names. We felt that this...

Thanks. That was really helpful. We will not be able to get a letter from landlord in our case but what we do have is the following: Joint bank account opened March 2019 Including an account statement showing we pay for utility bills, Netflix subscribtions, groceries, furniture etc. from...

Utility bills are not in both of our names but we have evidence showing that payments for these bills are being paid from our joint account. The evidence we have is the below: Joint bank account opened March 2019 Including an account statement showing we pay for utility bills, Netflix...

Hi everyone, Me and my partner are currently working on the IM1334 application form for Common-law partner sponsorship. I am stuck in the question where I need to provide the date we entered into the Common-law relationship. Below is our scenario: - We have been living together since...

Hi, In the document checklist for family sponsorship, there is the below requirement: "Photos of you and your sponsor that demonstrate that you are in a conjugal relationship. Provide a maximum of 20 photographs (taken at different time and places) at this time. Please write your name and...

Hi, Me and my Canadian common-law partner (not residing in Canada) are currently preparing our Family class sponsorship application. I did not find any information on the application package regarding notarized letters/documents. We were not planning on having any letters notarized, but I am...

I meant via the ETA - If I understand correctly that should allow up to 180 days as a tourist. Or am I missing something?

I do not have Temporary Resident Visa, but I should easily be able to obtain a tourist visa which should allow me up to 6 months in Canada. We would like to immigrate together, my partner as a Canadian citizen and myself as a tourist until I obtain the PR.

Didn't consider the inland application. Thanks for the suggestion. My main concern with this approach is the added complication of keeping my visitor status legal throughout the application process. Which is why we thought of moving to Canada after we would have submitted application and...

Hi everyone, Me and my partner (who has a Canadian citizenship but does not live in Canada), are looking to immigrate to Canada via the family sponsorship option. We are aware that it may take up to a year for the process to be completed and that I obtain a PR card. We are considering moving...

Hi everyone, Me and my partner both live outside of Canada, but my partner has a Canadian citizenship. We are looking at the family sponsorship option for immigration, however on the official site I saw the following statement: "if you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show...
