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

Vo has just requested some documents from us and the way part of the request is worded is confusing: "Three (3) original and recent photographs for yourself (photographs must conform to the ALL specifications outlined in the Guide to Immigrating IMM 3999 and Appendix B Photo Specifications)"...

We have been waiting for the second stage approval for a few months. We just received an email saying my fiancee (the applicant) had to send in her passport, along with a few photos. Here is where it gets complicated for us. First of all, it says she has until March XX, 2013 to fly to Canada...

Hi there - fiancee is awaiting PR sponsorship (we passed stage 1, and now the file is in the VO in Argentina). But it will be another few months and we were wondering if we could go to Canada and get started on her studies. Can she apply as a student visitor and study while awaiting Permanent...

Recently came across the details about Bill C-35, which makes it illegal for someone to give immigration advice if they are not accredited. At its core, the Act amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), making it an offence for anyone other than an authorized representative to...

Hi all - I was wondering what helpful resources you have found, or use, to complete your immigration applications, and answer questions when you have them? Aside from this forum (which is a life saver) and lawyers, what other places do you go to get help? If you have found another resource or...

Just wondering what the 65 day wait time is for spousal sponsorship... From the day they received the physical application in the mail - or from the day they officially "opened it". There's quite a difference. Once they open it I assume it's pretty fast and straight forward, so I am guessing...

Now that I have sent in our application, hundreds of reasons why we will be denied are running through my mind. Maybe I should have included a cover page... maybe the week we are spending apart will cause our "common law" status to be revoked... etc. I might just be crazy, or I might just be...

hi guys – I sent in the application and it was delivered two weeks ago. My fiances CIC account doesn't indicate that anything is active online. I am worried because I didn't fill out that personal information on the receipt of payment that I attached with the application. How will we know they...

Since we applied for common law sponsorship a few weeks ago a couple things have changed. - We applied for Outland while she was still in Canada on visitor visa. She is now back in Argentina and back with her parents. - I am taking a sabbatical from full time job and will be heading to...

Hi guys – my common law spouse and I just submitted our application! We could not have done it without all of your help! So thank you all very much especially those who took the time and patience to help with my constant requests! I didn't see a thread for September yet so I started one up...

I am on form IMM 1344 – (Application to Sponsor Agreement Undertaking) and I am confused about what to put

Just going through the country specific instructions for Argentina, and it says the applicant must include 8 photos of each member of his/her family and of themself. Does this apply for every member of your immediate family, even if you have no kids with the sponsor, and your family (mother...

Hi guys – do we submit our entire Outland Application to the office in Missisauga and how do we specify that we are applying via Outland... Also, would we send it to the regional office (in this case Buenos Aires) once the Sponsor is validated? How does this process work? Sorry if I am very...

Just about to print all our forms and get all the supporting documents together – when I realized something scary: It seems we need to include the Sponsored Person's ID documents and Passport as part of the supporting documents for our Outland PR sponsorship package. This is going to be a...

I am hearing conflicting responses about this. I just want to make sure me and my fiancee are doing the right thing: we are waiting until we have medical, police check and proof of our relationship all together before we submit ANYTHING to CIC. We plan on sending in the whole application at...
