So, my fiancee can't rememberwhere she worked during school in 2001... we've made calls and etc but she can't figure it out... a little worried - what should we do?? CIC requested work history details for that period... thanks!

Uh oh. My fiancee is having a fairly major medical issue (kidneys). My family doctor (being the nice guy that he is) helped out by seeing her and giving a prescription for antibiotics, but that's all he can do.... It will cost thousands (which we don't have) to get her into the hospital -...

I'm not sure how it happened, but after our sponsor/PR application was signed into CPC-V, they lost it in its entirety - well, almost. They still managed to find and process the OWP application, which was refused. they just can't seem to find it anywhere, although they've already "cashed" the...

Hello! Our inland app was received February 5th. We did "all the right things", sending a TRV renewal (OWP), sponsorship, and permanent residency applications in the same envelope to CPC-V. We received a letter today, dated March 13th, stating that the WORK PERMIT application was denied...

Hi everyone! My girlfriend just arrived yesterday in Canada for the first time on a TRV. I am still in Panama, and will follow her tomorrow (they screwed up my flight for today), although she doesn't know it... she is visiting a friend of hers, no reation to me or our relationship. I was...

Somewhere or other, I came across a gov't page (or, a very clever imitation) that stated average processing times for the -entire- sponsorship/pr process (inland)... but I can't find it anywhere again! It claimed AIP in 5-6 months, just like CIC, and final processing in an additional 5-6 - but...

I think we've got the application all put together, final draft - I'd really appreciate it if you seasoned pros could give any final thoughts before we submit it... we're hoping to have it in within the next 2 weeks. Here we go.... (all items marked with an asterisk have been notarized) We will...

Hi all! I'm just curious if anyone has experience sponsoring a Panamanian... specifically, I'm wondering if there are any special security clearances or checks (beyond the norm) that we should be aware of and prepared for, and if so, is there anything we can do in advance to help speed the...

Hi! Just a quick question - we acquired a PCC for my partner here in Panama... it's just a letter stating that she's never been charged with any civil or criminal charges, signed by the director of the justice department and notarized. It's valid for 90 days... is this the PCC we should be...

I just noticed a change in our (inland) timeframe... looks like 43 days for the sponsorship, 5-6 months for AIP and 5-6 months final? So.... that's 11.5-13.5 months total?? :D she got her TRV by the way, and we should be in country next week! So excited, thank you all so much for your help and...

If my girlfriend enters Canada on a legal TRV, and I then ask her to marry me and we submit an inland application, is there any legal quandary there? We are currently in a country where there is NO legal common law union (though we meet and exceed the Canadian definition of which she is not...

Hi everyone! just a quick query: We're going through the whole common-law sponsorship thing and I think we have a very strong application. However, I'm not sure what to do about the letters from family and friends corroborating our relationship - we've got LOTS, but should these just be letters...

Hi there, My fiancee and I have been living together (with proof) since March 2008. We have been apart for 5 weeks now while she visits family... is this too long of an interruption in our relationship? Will we have problems with the sponsorship application now?? We have Skype logs documenting...

Hi everyone, Is it possible to apply for an outland commonlaw/spousal sponsorship from within Canada, if we're both already here (her on a TRV)? Are there any benefits in going this route? Average processing time in Mississauga: 43 days sponsorship plus 6-7 months AIP plus 6-12 months final...

Well, I think we've just about got it... My fiancee and I have been cohabiting for 16 months in Panama. I'm going to apply to sponsor her PR. We think we have a strong application - we'd really appreciate what you guys think of our relationship-corroborating documents, though. As I understand...
