Thanks, all, for your help. I've put my spouse/sponsor's information, as advised by several posters above. I've also just noticed, in going through the Document Checklist for the final time (about to submit!), that the "copy of your receipt" entry is listed as item 4 under "Sponsor," not under...

Thanks! This is what I had thought. So many boxes to complete; so important to complete them correctly. I appreciate your help!

Thank you, Betina--that makes sense! May I ask if you filled in anything in the 'client ID' box? I can't see that there would be anything to put there at this stage. (I do have a client ID, having had a student visa in Canada a few years ago; however, my husband doesn't yet have a client ID...

Hi, I have a question regarding how to correctly complete the online receipt for spousal sponsorship. Specifically, I'm wondering whether the name/date of birth/client ID/address etc. should be that of my husband (sponsor) or myself (applicant for PR). I am applying outland via London for...

Thank you so much for your prompt and informative reply!

Hi All, I am British, and I'm applying for spousal PR via my husband, who is Canadian. Do I need to include our two children on IMM 0008 (the generic application form) if they're already Canadian citizens? Our eldest was born in Canada; our youngest was born in the US but has a Citizenship...

Thank you so much. This is what I understood from the instructions, but then I wondered if I was missing something because a number of commenters elsewhere on the forum had suggested going ahead and submitting those documents later. I guess it works for people sometimes but not always. I'm...

Hi All, This is my first time posting on this particular thread. I have a question re. documentation (medicals and police clearance) when applying for spousal PR via the London office. Basically, I'm wondering what other users' thoughts are on submitting the PR application and then sending...

Thanks for your reply. Absolutely: I'm anticipating 9 months, at least, but I obviously want to make sure I don't slow things down. Great to hear about your experience with the police certs. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the link! Only I will be at the border--the non-Canadian parent--but the CBSA guidance suggests that this should (hopefully) be okay, with enough relevant documentation. I will contact the Canadian High Commission in London in order to get extra guidance. All the very best...

Ah yes, of course. Thanks for your input! It looks like it took a year for processing, from your timeline. I'm crossing my fingers for quicker processing, if possible. Do you know if the police certs being submitted later affected the processing speed at all? (Please don't feel obliged to...

Thank you for your thoughts! It sounds like you've heard that it's good to submit the PR application before entering as a visitor. I should be able to have submitted for PR, but I may not have the AOR back in time. Is it best to have AOR, do you know, before entering as a visitor, or is it just...

Thank you so much for linking to the operational manuals--super helpful. OP 2 states that a background check delay can be used "to identify a file that is non-routine and [which] therefore might be processed outside of the six-month service standard" (p.10). This makes me think that while...

Thanks so much--this is really helpful.

Hi all, I'm just following up on--and clarifying--my previous question. Can a temporary work permit be offered for a part-time position? Or would a work permit only be issued for a full-time offer of work? (I understand about LMO etc.) Thanks.

Thanks, Sweden!

Thank you for your quick response. I hope that the process goes as smoothly as this! To perhaps complicate things, I am in possession of a US student visa, which is valid until June 2014, although I am currently living in the UK. Do you (or anyone else) know if multiple visas might be looked at...

Hi all, I'm looking for feedback on logistics regarding a spousal PR application through the London office. Background -- We currently reside in the UK: myself (UK citizen), husband (dual UK/Canadian citizen, born in Canada), and our two children (eldest born in Canada, youngest born in US)...

Thank you for the clarification, Scylla. My employer doesn't have offices in Canada, unfortunately, but I am looking out for job ads, for the reasons you suggest. I am awaiting an answer on a position that would run from Jan-Apr 2014; however, even if I am successful, it may be 0.66 time rather...

Ack, the job offer is in BC. A scheme like this in BC would have been perfect!!
