Hi there, I'm a PR here in Canada. I'm a freelance writer and 99% of my income comes from writing for US businesses. I have a business number here in Canada, a sole proprietorship. I supply my clients with a W-8 Ben, but I was just wondering, do I need to pay tax to the US government as well...

Hi there, I got a medical exam in June 2013 and will be posting my application for PR (common law sponsorship) at the end of this month, January 2014. I know that medical exams have to be conducted within the last twelve months. But what if they don't process my application until, say, October...

It's cool, I think I found the answer here if anybody is planning to apply inland/wondering the same thing. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t5997.0.html Thank you so, so much for your help!

Aha, you are amazing. Thanks. And good thinking! I guess that leads me to my final question--definitely submit more photos than IMM5443 asks for? My feeling is that the extra photos are for the medical reports that you do outside Canada, which are then attached to the photos...?

WHOA. So we have IMM5491 and IMM5443 AND something like http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3906e.pdf. Why isn't there one definitive list?

If IMM5443 is for the sponsor, howcome it doesn't ask anything about the Sponsor Questionnaire? Thanks for your help, by the way.

OK, thanks. So it's like a checklist for if we are apart, I get it. Right now we're living together, and I have done all the medical exams and everything here in Canada. That ate up some photos, so if IMM5443 only requests two photos, should I heed this paragraph from the country specific...

UPDATE: I found out I got the form from here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3910e.pdf My question is, did anybody find that this list above was completely different to what the IMM5443 checklist is asking for? It's like two different applications/packages, asking for four photos...

Hi there. I have a really sort of embarrassing question. I'm just doing the final check of my application for sponsorship under the common law/family class--nearly done, hooray!! Just one problem, I have a spare form: IMM5540. It LOOKS like it belongs with my package (the title is Sponsor...

Hi Application about to be sent off. Being sponsored by my boyfriend of two and a half years. We have his CRA OPtion C printout showing his income for the last taxable year--HOWEVER, even though we are early in 2013, that still happens to be 2011. The 2012 tax year is about to end. If I send...

I'm confused as to what CPC-M and CPC-V mean? If I have to go to Australia for the interview, I'm assuming my boyfriend will have to go also? Thanks so much for this. I have a really hard-ass internship at the moment and I'm not allowed to make phone calls during the day, so I have v. little...

Also Rob, what would a strong application be in your opinion? I have photos from Christmas with the family dating back two years, lots and lots of photos with the family, and witnesses, but the only paper trail we have is a newly signed lease agreement together. I was going to add phone records...

Thanks Rob, that does make me feel *slightly* better about everything. I am inland though--I've always been confused about outland. Should I apply to somewhere like LA to make it easier, or Australia? Note my sponsor is not allowed to go to the United States.

That's really good info. When it talks about the medical and background checks, I thought I saw somewhere that I could submit my medical check separately at a later date, once stage two has been done. OR: do you submit it at the same time as the rest of your paperwork, all in one go?

Hi, I'm an Australian seeking permanent residency sponsorship through my boyfriend. We've been living together for two years. I have just renewed my open work permit for two years and once that's up, that's it, I have to get this PR if I want to stay (it could really screw me if I'm working in a...

Amazing! It makes so much sense... when you know. ::) Thank you.

OK, so the Document Checklist says: "To be completed by applicant: ... IMM5669." This same form does not appear under the "To be completed by sponsor" section of the Checklist. So why at the top of IMM5669 does it say "Indicate whether you are the principal applicant" or "The spouse...

Thanks Nevahea, that's great. I think my blood pressure has already gone down a little, haha. I definitely have more questions.

Thanks nole, that was fast. Kev1n, I agree. It really sucks though, and is super un-Canadian, in my view!

As an ex-copywriter, the immigration papers I'm going through right now make me so, so angry. This is the worst-written garbage and it puts people's wellbeing at stake. I also have an extremely strict internship at the moment where I'm not allowed to make personal phone calls during business...
