Returned Application!

[irishnova]

Hi all,

i was just wondering if anyone would know about the following:
im from ireland, dating a canadian girl who is moving home at the end of may as she just recieved a job offer. we have been dating for over 3years, living together for 15months. i have been to canada 3 times with her and stayed with her family and went to family wedding etc.

so, i filled out the application for 'permanent residance in canada' via the common-law partner route, and sent it off to high commission of canada, london in early/mid march. however it arrived back this afternoon 

the whole package was sent back along with a cover letter 'family class immigration' with various info regarding who can sponsor etc and the only bit i can see that might be applicable is 'all sponsorships must be submitted to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario'.

is this where i need to send the application? i see other irish nationals on this website sent theirs to London, and thats what it says on the cic website...

also, the first form from part 1(application to sponsor) and part 2(application for permanent residence ib canada) were stamped 'recieved' but nothing else...the big brown envelope had the text 'small packets' written on it(not sure if that was a post thing though?)


not sure what to do with it now? any advice? will phone them tomorrow morning but hopeing i can get it sent off tomorrow morning agian!

thanks

They told you.....


All sponsorships must be submitted to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario

If the sponsor is approved, then the file will be sent from Canada to the Visa office for processing.

Before you resend it check everything again.

Before you resend it check everything again.

good idea, and ill have another scan over this forum also....good advice on here!

[irishnova]

Before you resend it check everything again.

with that in mind, a quick question:
is it ok to leave a few blanks in the fields address, eg: 2009/11 - ____/__ (which wis present) and also day of start of work (cant remember the day as it was so long ago.

also, declaration of common-law. should we fill that out? it says in the info booklet 'If you have a co-signer, complete this form only if you and your co-signer are in a common-law relationship.' we dont have  co-signer, but im in common law with my gf?? i have left it out of the last application.

thanks

Don't leave any blank spaces otherwise they will send the package back you need every single day covered. If you can't remember the exact date make an educated guess. No one expects you to remember every single detail and the exact time and they may check it when they do security checks.

You do need to fill in a form that is notarized to delclare you are common law and for how long. Not sure about the co-signer bit though...is it the right form?

the form im talking about is in part 1, statutory declaration of common law union.
which i would have thought was a give to fill out but in the guide is say what i posted above....hmmmm???

just going over everything now.....double checking, double checking!!

came across another one, for my gf who is canadian, canadian citizen - YES, permanent resident - what is the date she became a permanent resident, date of birth?
canadian citizen by decent, she was born in canada...

thanks,

Irish nova if she was born in Canada then she is a Canadian born citizen and therefore never had permanent resident status because she was a Canadian citizen from the day she was born.
Also I saw in your original post that you filled out the  'In Canada' application forms. Am I right about this?

sorry i did say that but i have the correct forms(just checked online there)
eg: Part 1
IMM 1344A......

regarding above would it be:
citizen - YES
resident - NO
claim by denent- NO
Q11 - CANADA

getting tricky now, thought we had it all in order!

[pegasusyt]

that's right if she is a citizen, answer yes to citizen, NO to permanent resident, and "claim by descent" depends, was she in born in canada? if so, claim by descent in NO, if she was born elsewhere but to canadian parents, and later got canadian citizenship based on that, then claim by descent is YES

people are really helpful here, thanks so much....

have everything  as above,
how about
Q11? naturalized canadian citizen-not applicable??

also any more idead on the common law declaration?
not sure i should fill this out
"If you have a co-signer, complete this form only if you and your co-signer are in a common-law relationship. A common-law partner is a person of the opposite or same sex who is living with you in a conjugal relationship and has done so for at least one year prior to the signing of the Undertaking."

we dont have a co-signer?

you should fill it out and it needs to be notarized too. But it does say you need to fill it out only if you have a co-signer.  We didn't have a co-signer and we filled it out and had it notarized.  There are some people on this forum that were requested to fill it out later by their visa office, so it's better to have it already done, just in case they ask for it. I'm not sure if they ask it from everyone, as it seems that nothing is logical in this process.  But it certainly doesn't hurt to do it.  Just takes a small amount of time and maybe a small amount of money (for the notarization) to do it. 

Good luck!

I have a feeling you may be filling out the wrong forms.  You mentioned you're filling out permanent residence in Canada forms?

I would do the common-law declaration as I was requested to send it after the fact and it added time to my process.
