I have been with my partner for three years in June 09. We have talked communicated by talking over the internet and I am wanting to move in with him to Canada. I live in the UK.

I am having a few problems.
1. I am wanting to get married to him and get a spousal visa but the forms that I have viewed that I have to fill in are a bit of a problem. Both of my parents are alive and one of the forms requires that you fill in information about that. Specifically: passport numbers, which my parents don't want to give me.
Do I have to fill out there passport information or can I leave it blank?

2. Also, the way I'm wanting to do this is to go to Canada, get married in a small registry office so I can stay with my partner.
We are opposite sex.

How would i go about this? Do I fill out the forms for the visa first and then get married or get married and then fill out the forms?

Also, is there any age limit for a marraige visa, do you have to be above a certain age?

HELP!

Hi,
1. I dont think you will need to include your parents details if you are not sponsoring them. I marked the sheet as N/A as i was not sponsoring them.
2. I am not sure if its better to get married first and then apply for your permanant residence but if your partner is sponsering you should be married or be qualified as conjugal partner. See this link it will help you a lot.

3. As long as you are an adult (16+ years, legal age to marry in UK) you can get married.

cheers!

Well, I take it that your partner is a Canadian citizen. Here is the toll free call center number: 1 888 242‑2100

I agree that the questions are confusing. Call this number, they are really helpful.

If you are a Canadian citizen by birth, write YES to canadian citizen and write the date you became one as your birthdate. Permanent resident write NO because you are a citizen, not a PR. For 11. write N/A or skip it.
