Lets say I want to sponsor again (jeeze....just imagine) is there a set amount of time I need to wait? Anyone have any clue how to tell CRA regarding tax purposes? Also... I am assuming I will need her SIN to file our taxes from last year, although she had no income. Does she need to sign...

landed in March. left in April.

Hi all - sad news. I've split with my SO, who was a PR that I was sponsoring under common law. She has gone back home. I am wondering if there's any legal thing I need to do to "split." Anything to do with taxes, with alerting gov't etc? Thanks for your help! Hope you all have much better luck...

Hi guys, I am looking for support, advice and anyone who has been through something similar. My SO just got her PR and we packed up our lives in Argentina, and came to finally live in Canada after about 1.5 years of struggling to get our papers. But as soon as she arrived she was already...

Hi guys - my SO is landing on Wednesday! She had her papers and visa in order and will be landing and requesting her PR card when she arrives. I am in Toronto and wont be coming through the airport with her when she lands. Is that going to be a problem? And is there some way I can show up at...

Hi All - My spouse is landing in March to gain the PR status - she is from Argentina. What is the process for obtaining a SIN number after that, and roughly how long? We are applying for school programs and she will need it ASAP. Cheers Hux

yes thats correct, we attached a letter, or simply wrote a letter detailing all of this when we extended the visa. not the initial application for visitor visa. as for your second question, i can't say as i only know what we did and we were approved. you need to make sure you satisfy the...

Yes this is possible. This is what we did and we received the temporary extension. For some reason, we waited a loooooooong time for the extension to come but it did come. From what I remember, we provided lots of proof that we had every intent to apply for PR, and that whether or not we got...

I'm so sorry to hear this. Why do you think it's taking this long for you guys? I know how hard it can be on relationships, but don't give up hope now. You guys can make this work if you try! We've all been there.

Right - but did they ask you to provide a return postage package? Like a pre-paid Fedex or UPS thing...so that they can send you back your documents?Read the letter they sent you again and see what it was asking for. If they wanted you to include postage to mail it back, but you didn't, they...

I hope so too! Best of luck everyone and stay positive!

When they requested the passport do they ask you to pay for shipping or postage? I think they usually ship it unless you asked them to pick it up in person at the VO. We sent ours in the office in person, and we picked it up, all in under 5 days! Send the baires office an email. They are...

I went in today to drop of the photos (the first ones we took were too big, so I had to rush, get new ones, then come back for my SO to drop them off.) Waited in line behind a couple who decide they would organize their ENTIRE PR package, right there in the Visa office. Photos, documents...

We just received our passport back with the visa to enter Canada and receive the PR!!!! SO HAPPY! And wayyyyy ahead of schedule. We were expecting to be living together for an adventure for the next year in Argentina. And now... a few months later... we can go back anytime we want and she can...

Last question on this... Say we decide to return to Argentina, immediately after landing, to finish a half year of school. By that time her passport will be expired and we'll get a new one that won't have the entry visa on it. Will she be able to enter Canada with just the PR card and her...
