Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[MandyUK]

..oops! I *might* have resigned today.. waited until the very end of the day, but bit the bullet at 5:30 and sent it off! I only got your reply after leaving work. I have to give two months notice though, so loads of time yet.. I hope!

well at least it will give u time to organise everything and go do a few things before you leave, its suprising the amount of places and things you want to go to or do once you know ur leaving ;D

I think you did the right thing, average timeline suggests that you will get it by the time your notice period is over or may be a little later if everything goes by well.
I am given one month only to pack up, still to drop off my Passport and won't be getting it back until 2nd of february and by that time I will have 13 days left to enter Canada which is pretty tight!!!

I resigned today giving a two weeks notice sacrificing 2 weeks pay

Hi All,

I'm a UK citizen that's been in a relationship with a Canadian for a little over two years now and we are having a child together; due April. Up to now I've just be coming in and out of Canada on Visitor Visas and have pretty much got away with it without too much hassle. I work remotely so I'm not technically working here. But I've been told to get my house in order by the immigration department.

So do I apply inland or outland? I have the choice. Outland seems quicker and more flexible given my comings and goings, but the idea of having to head over to London for interview at short notice or courier my passport there, would be a pretty big and expensive pain, so am I better off applying inland?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
Xian.

Question about COPR:

We just reviewed my partner's COPR document and it says his country of birth is England. In reality, his country of birth is Scotland.

All of the other details are correct--for example, it says that he is a British citizen and that the country issuing his travel document is the United Kingdom--so does this need to be changed?

(I'm wondering if/hoping that this is just one of those annoying circumstances wherein a computer believes that all the constituent countries of the UK are, in fact, England.)

My advice would be to give them too much info rather than too little, and you could add a letter explaining the situation as you did in your post on here...

With the risk of causing anger in London I'll repeat my advice given months ago....whenever I was unsure about something when filling out the application I just put a post-it note with explanations to whatever I wasn't sure about. I felt it's much better to give too much info rather than too little.

Hi Aperture - I'm no expert, but I wouldn't worry too much about it - admittedly, before living in the UK, I was incredibly naive to the constituent countries structure.. I think you're right about the computer just lumping Scotland into England. No harm, except to your partner's pride! The only trouble I can foresee is if they see Scotland as the country of birth on his passport and England on the COPR and take issue with it. Is there a number on the COPR you can call to just check that it will be okay?

well at least it will give u time to organise everything and go do a few things before you leave, its suprising the amount of places and things you want to go to or do once you know ur leaving ;D

Thanks both, that's reassuring! And MandyUK, that's very true! I've been living in the UK for 6 years now, and it'll be hard to leave my in-laws and friends!

AAAHHHHHHH!!!! WE JUST GOT OUT COPR!!! No PPR or anything.. just a COPR delivered by recorded mail to our address in London.. *cough*.. just realised I'm telling a forum before telling my husband..

 

[shudda]

Yay Schintz that's great!!

Go tell your husband and then when you get a chance to you explain how it all worked? Most of us are still confused about this new process!

Thanks and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You're done!!

 

[Daisies]

That's great news, and funny about telling us before you husband. I am sure we can all relate to that!

Right, I agree with Shudda, what do we need to know about this new process?

First of all, congrats on your COPR!!! Yay! I love seeing this forum light up with happy new PRs.

Anyway, we did e-mail this London VO first thing this morning, so hopefully they can clarify. I was just hoping someone on this forum would have had this problem before and could tell me what, if anything, they had to do.

Hi everyone, quick question:

Does the sponsor in Canada have to stay in Canada for the whole PR process? I'm asking as I'm a UK citizen and my boyfriend is Canadian. We are going to apply, once married, for PR through London and I was wondering if he can stay in the UK with me for that period of time on 'visitor' status?

Thanks a lot, this thread is great to have!
