I know thats our problem i thought there would be some sort of leniancy or compassion especialy for a death in the family. Trust me we don't want to risk him not getting back into Canada but if anyone has had this sort of situation please share

If you want to take the chance at this point, I would suggest he carry a copy of the application along with him as well as something showing the reason for his trip - as well as the itinerary of the trip.

It is a statutory requirement for the spouse/partner in Canada class that he be living with his sponsor in Canada. That's why a refusal to allow re-entry leads to rejection of the application - he can't meet this requirement in that case.

Note that IF that happens, you should withdraw the application right away. In that case, you can get a full refund of the application fee and submit a new application via the Outland process. It's not ideal, but it may be the best you can do given the circumstances AND if that occurs.

Also note that once he leaves Canada that the overstay/status issue is resolved. If allowed to re-enter Canada, he will have six months.

This is the wrong area of the forum for this question - this is for citizens and permanent residents who are sponsoring their spouse/partner for permanent residence in Canada. You should post in the foreign worker or perhaps the student areas of the forum.

So I have been in Canada for almost 2 years now (September 25th 2011) I came as a visitor and was given 2 extensions. A 6 month one and then a 13 month one (applied for an extension as my visa was expiring in August 2012 and got granted till September 30th 2013) . I know very well how fortunate I am to be granted two years on visitors but I have every reason to believe my second one was granted simply cause I said we (my boyfriend of almost 3 years and my self) want to apply for sponsorship. We have been living together for almost 2 years so we qualify for common law but I am not entirely sure how to proceed with sponsorship application. I know there are some very experienced members on this forum so I am asking for help since this is all so very confusing.

My questions are :
-Do we need to officially declare common-law prior to applying or will proof like lease,joint banking account,letters from families,photos and such be enough?

- He is a student and is currently on OSAP. Will he be qualified to sponsor me or is OSAP seen as social/government assistance?

-I have seen on CIC that I could qualify for working permit as I am common-law spouse of a student however it is unclear does that goes only for foreign citizens that hold a study permit or does the same apply for plain ol' Canadian citizens?

- Can I apply for open working permit in the same package?

- Should I make in inland or outside Canada? (I have been told by CIC agent that I can sent it to an office outside Canada and it will be processed as such even though I am currently residing in Canada.

Last but not least how much will the whole thing cost? I did check on the CIC site but have a hard time making sense out of that.

Everyone's opinion and advice is more then welcome since I have done everything "by the book" so far and would like to avoid status restorations, rejected visas and such.

Thank you, Mirna.

I would officially declare it, it will make it a bit easier. Plus can be used as proof.

- He is a student and is currently on OSAP. Will he be qualified to sponsor me or is OSAP seen as social/government assistance?

That's fine, it's a loan, not assistance.

-I have seen on CIC that I could qualify for working permit as I am common-law spouse of a student however it is unclear does that goes only for foreign citizens that hold a study permit or does the same apply for plain ol' Canadian citizens?

If you apply inland you could. Outland is usually faster, depending on your home country timelines. As in, you could be working before you even get a work permit for inland. You can be IN Canada and apply OUTLAND

- Can I apply for open working permit in the same package?

If you apply inland.

- Should I make in inland or outside Canada? (I have been told by CIC agent that I can sent it to an office outside Canada and it will be processed as such even though I am currently residing in Canada.

See above

Last but not least how much will the whole thing cost? I did check on the CIC site but have a hard time making sense out of that.

That depends. The fee for CIC is $1040. The costs of medicals vary by doctor and the price of police clearance also varies by country.

Everyone's opinion and advice is more then welcome since I have done everything "by the book" so far and would like to avoid status restorations, rejected visas and such.

Thank you, Mirna.

Parker 24. God bless you . Makes me happy to see I am not being ignored and left alone with my freak out's .

What did you guys do (inland vs out) ?

Im from Croatia- visa granted at port of entry.
In 2009 when they decided that all of us Croatians can come and explore Canada they closed up visa office in Zagreb (they still have consulate for Canadian citizens living/visiting Croatia.) so technically I would have to send it off to either Beograd in Serbia or Vienna in Austria (neither of which are considered to be fast.)

Also Croatia just became member of EU. Im really not sure does that changes anything when it comes to processing applications or not.

You will either send your entire application (sponsor + applicant parts) to Mississauga (Outland) or Vegreville (Inland). You never submit original PR applications to a visa office abroad any longer. They haven't permitted that in a number of years - they use centralized intake offices now to do the initial paper shredding - er sorting. ;-)

Croatian applications are processed by the Vienna office, which currently posts an 11 month processing time. If you are in Canada and have been lawfully admitted for at least one year, you can also apply via CPP-O (Ottawa) which is the office outside Canada that handles Canadian and US applications. Yes, it is odd that CPP-O is considered to be an office outside Canada, but that's exactly how it is treated.
