WOW!!! ;D
This is such amazing news! I am so happy for you

When did you send out your application, and when was it received? Just so that some of us can get an idea of who is next!

CONGRATS!

We sent it direct to the Mississauga office January 20 2014 and it was received Jan 23, all the info is on the 2014 inland spreadsheet.

Also it came to the inbox!

Hi everyone,

One of the reasons my fiance and I (engaged last December 2013) are getting married civil marriage is because of cost, another is because his older sister is also getting married and and his family does not want us to have a reception before her.

We plan to get married at the city hall with both our parents there but have our reception 4 or 5 months later so that his sister can have her complete wedding (ceremony and reception) in September.


Time line :

August - our marriage (city Hall)
September- His sister's wedding
Maybe December - Our wedding reception

We plan to submit our application for PR in September. Would this affect our application in anyway?

If the application for PR has already been submitted and we have our reception later in December 2014 or January 2015 , do we need to send in additional info and pictures? If so, how do we go about doing so?

Has anyone been in this situation?


Thanks!!

Hello Blossom318,

My wife and I never had an actual ceremony we got married in city hall, both our families live outside of Canada and cannot travel withouth visas etc, so a big hassle. we are hoping to go back to our native countries and have a ceremony once she gets her landed. we explained it on the application. we snet pictures of our city hall wedding with the witnesses and friend that attended, pictures of our modest honeymoon. I have not received AOR yet, but everyone I consulted including immigration lawyer mentionied there should be no problem.

Hey there!
I didn't use a lawyer to prep my application however, a week before sending my application, I coughed up $200 and had a lawyer "review" my application for any mistakes. I had a couple so I'm glad I invested. The full application was gonna cost $2500 (not including the CIC fee)! So I did everything by myself and the lawyer was pretty impressed and said that I was basically all set except for a couple of issues in the forms I had filled. If you want more help with this, let me know

Thanks Azarme09!,

Did you apply through a lawyer? We want to apply through a lawyer so that way, we won't leave out anything that is critical to the application.

That's a decision you will have to make. I applied Inland because I do not want to get in the hassle of traveling back home etc and don't wanna get stuck in the visa renewal process here.

Thanks everyone!

So I called an immigration consultant. They said that I can apply OUTLAND even though both of us lives and works in Canada.

Has anyone tried that? How does that work or how did it work out?

I am a February applicant and we never received any AOR as of yet...I hope they will start looking at our files pretty soon and there's no outdated documents in the application.

Good luck to all of us

This is GREAT news everyone!... hoping we'll hear from them this coming week & that everything is ok with our forms. Will be absolutely gutted if they send it back to us with 3 months + of waiting.

Agree, even that I'm from a visa-exempt country, I didn't want to risk that if I need to fly back to my country, it wouldn't be granted that they will let me back, and it could be trickier with the visa extension as well. And the waiting time in my original visa office is 14 months, so hopefully I will get OWP sooner with an inland app.
If your home country’s waiting time is 9-10 months or less, that’s a different story, than perhaps it’s worth to go outland.

I sent my application on January 10, my data is in E-CAS system since April 25 but haven't received AOR yet. Does it mean that there is a problem with my application and perhaps they would send it back, that's why they didn't send an AOR or is it just a question of time? That's really stress me . ???

Call them and see what they say?
