Hi! I just want to know if anyone here send additional proof of relationship to cic vegreville without them asking for it. I gathered some documents, like cable, utilities invoice with both our names on it , joint bank account. Reservation/booking confirmation and reciept for holidays in hotel and resorts. The reciept and the ownership of the car he bought for me as a gift. A printout of my cellphone electronic bill from january 2011 to present and highlights the call i made for him. I ask couple of his employee to make a letter as a proof of genuine relationship, as well as my parents and friends back home. I made a copy of his current income tax assessment. When i got my marriage certificate i change my last name into his last name my drivers license and health card as well as all the the utilities and bank accounts is my married name, is it gonna be a problem as i have different last name in my application? Thanks for advice in advance

You MUST MAKE CIC AWARF OF YOUR NEW LAST NAME ASAP BY SENDING THEM A COPY OF MARIAGE CERTIFICATE WITH YOUR CIC ID AND A NOTE SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN HIS LAST NAME.

Dont fall in their trap. Trying hard to provide so many unreasonable proofs like all the things you mentioned can make any officer doublt your relationship. They usually need Solid proof like wed picture, common bank acct, rent/lease or home ownership in both names, mariage certificate, or common law declaration with some solemn letters from family or friends if it's a common law. phone records skype resorts and these sort of things seems like an orchestrated/planned relationship in a way as these are secondary proof that can doubt things as a normal relationship wouldnt need to have all of that but just some few solid onces that every realtionship must have.

The best thing is to wait until they ask of you want to provide these secondary poofs to avoid any suspicion on their part by trying to prove them so hard you have a genuine relationship...

Remember, all relationship in their mind is genuine in the first place but by analyzing the proofs that they begin to doubt.

Good luck.

as you can see my signature below i was asked for proof of relationship because in my application we were married but did not send any proof but mariage certificate and wed picture and answered their questionnaires. They sent a letter requsting more proofs so i then send common bank acct, and few others like common rent and my work insurance on both names,,, soon later they determine it's genuine and issued DM. even though I had them I just did not send the first place as I didnt have to unless they asked.

Hi!  I would like to thanks everyone on this forum. This forum is very helpful.

This is our timeline
- AOR: February 23, 2011
- In Process: March 25, 2011
- MICC: July 28, 2011    CSQ: August 17, 2011
- Stage 1 / AIP: February 12, 2012
- OWP req: June 26, 2012 (online)  OWP Rec'd: TBD
- Stage 2 / DM: TBD
- Landed MTL: TBD   PR Card: TBD

AIP to DM: more than 154 days even if medical and criminal check (including RCMP) is done & passed. Only security check left and was started on 12Feb2012. Police and certificate/army check was sent & received more than a year ago to Vegreville. Received FOSS May 2012 and every thing is clear&fine with BF 12MAY2012 SWH/C (and still this date when we call them...). We pay RPRF  & was rec'd  @  Vegreville 2May2012 (thinking it might help to process it faster).


Question:
Anybody knows what is security check and who performed it?  Any possible way to process this step faster?

Hi,

my application has been refused today. I would like to know about my options.
The refusal really doesn't make any sense.

I was living on a work & travel visa together with my common-law partner starting Aug 29th 2010. I was told by the call centre that if I sent in the application for permanent residency at least one month before my working visa runs out, I can stay and work under the same conditions until I will get my permanent residency. I sent my application on 28th of July 2011.

Now Immigration Canada states that they refuse the application, because we only lived together for 11 month at the date of application. That said I have now lived together with my partner since Aug 29th 2010 which is way longer than the required 12 months. In my opinion this decision doesn't make any sense.

What can I do next? To me this sounds like a true nightmare and more like a mistake from a lazy employee. I mean we have been living together for almost two years now.

Of course I will contact the call centre tomorrow, but appreciate any advice on my options!

Thanks!

Hi Joheine,

My girlfriend is in a similiar siutation as you. Can I ask what kind of visa did you receive and from what country? Is that a "Working Holiday Visa" as I have read from many different websites that it cannot be extended even if you apply for common-law. If that is a working holiday visa that you have and it had been extended, PLEASE let me know!!!  My girlfriend is on a working holiday visa and I was thinking that she will not be able to work after the visa expires and has no choice but to change it to vistor visa while she stays here in canada and for us to apply. Please help.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately I have to tell you that they are right, you should have waited for your 12 months. Also to apply common law you need your common law papers signed by the public notary it's not only to live together for 12 months as far as I know. They are very clear in the CIC guide, to apply you have to be living together for at least 12 months to apply, not 11. You did not meet the criteria, doesn't matter if you did after you sent your application, you have to meet before you send it. They were not lazy in this case, I know it's hard but they did their job. I am the first to jump and criticize CIC but with the information you gave us so far it seems that it was your mistake and that is very unfortunate. The only option to do that without waiting that 12 months period is getting married.

CIC is very strict and rightly so, sometimes they do piss everybody off but I think that we also have to understand that rules are there and we have to accept them, painful as it is. My application is still in process and I would be devastated should it come rejected, we put a lot of time and effort into it. I am really sorry to hear what happened to you and I hope that you can find a better option for you and your partner. Next time make sure you check and double check everything, don't assume that if you are close to a date to meet a criteria that they will be o with that, they won't. Read the rules and follow by the letter, nothing less than that!

Hi cililoca,

My girlfriend and I are in a similar situation. We have been living together since July 2011 with my parents. After that, she went back to Japan for 84 days (less than 90 days) and then return back in Dec 2011 with a working holiday visa.

Two questions:

1) Can we apply for common-law sponsorship this July or August 2012? (12 continuously months living together with a seperation of less than 90 days)

2) Can she continue working after Dec 2012 with a normal work permit till our application approves (she has a working holiday visa)?

Has anyone ever heard of CIC going back to look into the sponsor's application before? Just curious.

Yes, someone else on the forum specifically mentioned a case in which the visa office asked for a police certificate on the sponsor.  In that case, the suspicion of those posting was that the sponsor might have been impacted by a rules change last November (sponsors are barred from sponsoring if they have specific types of domestic violence convictions.)  So clearly, CIC can investigate the sponsor more thoroughly if there is any question as to the sponsor's eligibility to sponsor at any point in the process.

I had gotten my FOSS notes a while ago and where my extended my visitor's visa a IO made a note in there to 'look closely before approving the next extension because the sponsor is unemployed' paraphrasing here of course.

My sponsor is still eligible for sponsorship, but I'm afraid they would accuse him of being on welfare or something.

Well, a sponsor does have an obligation to convince CIC that your maintenance will not become a social burden (that's why the sponsor must sign the undertaking - but an undertaking is pointless if your sponsor can't pay it back should you require social assistance).  With that said, EI payments do not constitute social assistance, but it would seem the officer had some concerns about your sponsor's ability to meet this requirement.  Of course "look closely" doesn't mean "no" it just means "check into this to make sure there isn't an issue." If your sponsor is now employed, I'd make sure to point this out at the time you apply to renew visitor's status.

Good luck!

For all people who got their PR card recently since June is it the regular one (5 yrs) or conditional one (2 yrs)

Is conditional residency only for outland applicants?
Is it for Applicants who are now sending in applications for processing?

HI, my husband received his card early in June, and is the regular card, due date June 2017.
