Hello guys.

We are getting our outland application together, visa-exempt country. Should I include letters from friends or family if we have lots of other evidence? We have been together for 2 years, married recently, went to school together, travelled to other countries together etc. It's not a common law application so I'm assuming it's not necessary?

We have over a hundred photos, information (tickets, bookings, car rentals, receipts) about 3 trips to other countries we went on together in the last half a year, out of which one was a honeymoon trip, hundreds of screenshots with voice calls from the last year, gifts and receipts that we have exchanged between each other, messages from the last half a year and proof that we have over 67000 of them in total, phone calls from when I was in Canada over a year ago, pictures and receipts of wedding rings, pictures of engagement ring (engaged 1 year into the relationship), diplomas from the school we went to together and met many years ago, a document with written facts about our relationship - is that enough or should we include letters from our family? We have mentioned how our family members support our relationship, marriage, how we've all met each other and spent time together.

Also, everyone from my family needs to get a medical check done. I can't sponsor them in the future if they don't do that. But what about my sister? Would she also need to get it done, even though she would never be able to get sponsored by me?

Thank you for your help!

Not necessary, but really it's an easy thing to add since they can just email you the letter. You don't need to have them notarized or anything.

Er, have you read the guides and checklist? They severly limit how many pictures and chat logs they want. You should only provide 20 pictures and whatever the limit is on the chatlogs.

Also, everyone from my family needs to get a medical check done. I can't sponsor them in the future if they don't do that. But what about my sister? Would she also need to get it done, even though she would never be able to get sponsored by me?

This medical requirement is only for your dependants (children) and spouse.
Thank you for your help!

Oh wow, we still didn't completely read all the guides for the new application package. That's interesting, good thing we found out from you before we would keep getting more things together. Thanks!

PPR soon for you! Time frame? That would still depend to the officer reviewing your app. It could be within the week, next week, 2 weeks, 1 month... I wish you get it soon. You're almost to the finish line

Myself and my wife are applying for the spousal sponsorship.

I am Italian with permanent residence in UK and she is Canadian living and working in Montreal.

We got married in London, UK and never registered the marriage in Italy since we are not interested in moving there.

I am wondering if this might be an issue when the CIC will contact Rome and see that my marital status is "single" there.

We will provide CIC with an original copy of our marriage in UK anyway.

Could this be an issue for the sponsorship process? Should I register the marriage in Italy as well?

I sent my spousal application on Dec 22nd 2016 when do you think I will receive a confirmation of file opening ?

Maybe some time this week or next week. I submitted mine October 21 and got e-mail November 14.

Only if you are on the flight not picking him up at the airport

That makes sense. Thank you!

Not an issue, as long as the marriage is legally registered in the UK.

Hi,
My boyfriend and I are going to apply for Inland Sponsorship Visa - Common-law. I am Swede and he is Canadian.

1. I have a question about the Open Work Permit. In the Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker under Details of intended work in Canada question 5uration of expected employment. I already have a job and my intention is to continue working there during the process. What dates should I write there?

2. Could someone explain what the difference categories means and what I should apply for, Question 3 "I am applying for one or more of the following":
*A Work Permit with the same employer
* An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
* Restoration of your status as a worker

I have a Working Holiday Visa now and I have worked for my current employer for 3 months now.

3. One more thing, I am participant in the IEC program, my Working Holiday Visa expires May 8th. Do I have to provide proof of health insurance from Sweden covering the intended extension to my length of stay in Canada when/if CIC issue me an Open Work Permit? I am covered through my boyfriends insurance, shall I provide that?

Cheers!!

Just noticed DM from Ottawa in ECAS, so now I have some questions, if anybody can answer...

How long does it take to know what the decision actually is? How long, roughly, does it take to get COPR? How long do you have from getting the COPR to move?

Also... What's the likelihood that we got turned down without any requests for additional proof or an interview? Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,

I have an urgent doubt.

I applied for PR for my self from India and I landend in March 2016.After my landing my EACS showed as COMPLETE and I received my PR Card.I included my dependents in the application
I again applied for PR for my husband and spouse in May 2016 and they received DM on their EACS yesterday.
But now even MY EACS is also showing as DM and not COMPLETE.

Just want to know as to why my EACS has changed from COMPLETE to DECISION MAde again.
Is it something I should be worried about.
Can you guys please check you EACS and see what it says for your PR application and for your spouse PR application(i.e., EACS of sponsor please..........)
