I went here at the time last year: 200 Rene-Levesque Blvd, Complex Guy-Favreau, Level 00 – Unit 12-A, It's a company (International Fingerprinting Services Canada I F S C Ltd, www.policecheck.com). They have all the official forms and will give you an envelope with the correct address. After...

Just for the record, my experience with the post was similar to ange. I sent off the passport using registered mail as soon as I arrived in the Netherlands from Canada on Dec. 24. The passport came back with a visa last week, also using registered mail, on Jan. 14 which we picked up at the post...

I wouldn't worry about his present trip if you have plenty of other evidence that your relationship is genuine. You could file outland via Mississauga Berlin even while he's in Canada, it's probably quicker than inland (for me it took less than 4 months and it would have been less than 3 if I...

Yes, though it needs to be provided within 60 days of the date of the post mark of the letter.

And just yesterday I found the PPR in the mail too! It was dated 13 November. Note: no email, and also the PPR does not state approval but this is very good news indeed! I'll send my passport from the Netherlands like I wrote above; it seems to risky to send it now and hope it will be back...

Oh, there may be many reasons for going a bit slower. For one thing I had to submit 5 police certificates (UK, US, US state, NZ, Netherlands) which certainly does not help a quick background check. Then there's the chance that they may also ask me for Canadian (RCMP) fingerprints. I just hope...

There's me :) You can have a look at trackitt.com for timelines. They vary a lot, but Berlin can be quick (less than 3 months since sending to Mississauga) too. Apparently ange, who applied one day after me on Sep 2, just got PPR, but I'm still waiting. There are some very long winded cases at...

Indeed, you don't need an option C printout and the other forms you mentioned for Quebec. I crossed them out on the checklist with a note (Quebec). You don't need the statutory declaration of common-law union -- but you could submit it as additional relationship evidence next to the pictures...

I'd be surprised if there would be a problem. He'll need to say which country he is emigrating too but it would be the same if he had a temporary work permit or would be coming to Canada on an extended visit without PR in progress -- then he could also give up official Dutch residency. He will...

See http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5052-eng.html and http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e677.pdf however, this covers money (or direct money equivalents) that are you carrying with you. A wire money transfer never travels with you. I think the banks need to...

Another way is to go to any Canadian Post Office and ask and pay for a US dollar money order, then send those to the US. Should be no problem (I got my FBI and state police certificates that way) but check with the billers if they accept money orders that way (make clear to them that they are in...

I got police certificates for all countries where I've lived for 6 months or longer in advance and sent them to Mississauga, as per instructions, so not for Germany. Also not for Canada. Altogether there were 5: USA FBI, USA State, NZ, UK, and NL. So far Berlin has not asked me anything...

It's easier to just apply outland from within Canada, after you pass the 12 month mark of course. You do your medical in Canada, apply for the UK police certificate (and perhaps others) by post, collect evidence (that together will probably take at least a month), note "London" as the post on...

Yes! That was a nice collection of police certificates. I've also lived in Germany but that was 3 months only.

As far as I know reaching common-law is independent of your status -- you need to have been cohabitating for at least a year, it doesn't matter where or how, as long as you have proof. London can be very fast for common-law, see for instance whoopi83 on this forum who had PPR after 2.5 months...

Did you know you can apply outland from within Canada too via Buffalo? In that case if you need to go back to the US it won't be a problem -- you might have to stay in the US for some time if the people at the border only allow you into Canada for a specific amount of time but that would not...

Did you think about applying outland? In that case it does not matter if you need to leave the country.

I had the same question but found an example after searching a bit on the internet (http://www.canada-city.ca/canada-immigration/posting.php?messageid=8707). Essentially, you write a letter that has the same standard phrases and a similar layout as the "Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union"...

The sponsor receives everything, including the CSQ, with a request to send the CSQ to the applicant. We received French letters for the sponsor and applicant, English translations, the CSQ, and one of the two copies of the form that the sponsor filled out. This was all done quickly, within 6...
