Hello there! So my German girlfriend's PR application has been going well, it seems. They requested proof of a medical examination a few weeks ago, which we had already provided; when I wrote back to them asking whether they wanted proof of the previous exam or a new exam, they answered saying...

So my girlfriend and I are flying to Canada next week, to stay with my parents while we wait for her PR to be granted. She is from a visa-exempt country (Germany); our application has been sitting in Vienna for several weeks, and they told us we'd hear from them by October. We're not carrying...

So we've encountered something of a problem. My girlfriend and I originally planned to move to Vancouver soon after she got her Permanent Residency card, so I could study and she could work. We had some savings in the bank to help us establish ourselves there, of course. On our application...

So I just discovered that the Berlin office was shut down, and that all our applications will be rerouted through Vienna. Now, we hadn't planned on being especially lucky, but we've booked flights (with cancellation and rebooking insurance, of course!) and were all set to move to Canada a few...

So our outland application supposedly arrived in Mississauga on February 29th. I've since tried to check my application online using the number on the payment receipt I got from paying the application fees, but it told me "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided."...

So we've compiled all our paperwork, and I think we're just about ready to submit the application! However, I wanted to run this by you guys and see if you can spot anything we're missing. This is a total list of everything we will be sending in - if something is missing that we should send...

Apparently, we need to provide 8 photos of each of the applicant's family members. Does this include family members who are not applying for Permanent Residency or any other visas? If the only person applying is my partner, is she the only person we need to send photos of, or do we need to...

This particular question is directed at people who've undergone the common-law sponsorship process from within Germany (sidkrose, I'm thinking of you! :) ). I'm a Canadian student in Germany, and I'm trying to sponsor my German girlfriend (also a student) for permanent residency under the...

So my common-law partner and I have essentially completed our entire application package; we need only to organize things, pay the fees and send them off. But we're not sure where, exactly, to send the application. We will be applying through the Berlin visa office (we both live in Germany at...

The Generic Application Form for Canada contains a question asking where we intend to live in Canada. We intend to stay with my parents in Ottawa for a month or two, until my education term begins, at which point we intend to move (indefinitely) to Vancouver. Should I enter Ottawa, since...

One of the questions on I, as the native Canadian citizen sponsoring my common-law partner, must fill out, is related to my intention to return to Canada. When we move to Canada, I intend to apply to several graduate programs to continue my education. Conveniently, one of the possibilities for...

So I've encountered a problem with filling out the Sponsor Questionnaire while trying to sponsor my girlfriend. The questionnaire requires me to state the previous addresses and telephone numbers of all the places I've lived outside of Canada. Unfortunately, I've lived in 7 different...

So my common law partner is applying for permanent residency, and we're going through the motions of filling out the forums. However, some of the fields aren't entirely clear. For instance, in the "Generic Application Form for Canada", two things caused concern: 1. Field 7. asks us for a CSQ...

My girlfriend and I are finishing our studies next year, and we want to move to Canada, where I will be completing a Master's degree and she will hopefully be able to find work. I am a Canadian citizen, born and raised, and she is a German citizen, trained as a foreign language teacher. I've...
