Ok. Whoa...it's been awhile since I have been on the forum... My partner has lived in Canada since 1999 on student visas for highschool and university. I sponsored him for his PR in 2010 and once he had reached 1095 (and a bit) he applied for grant of citizenship in August 2012. He spent...

Yes. N/A for each question and space. Some immigration officers will send back an entire application because of one missing N/A.

General questions: Some of the spaces to type in aren't large enough. Should I leave them blank and fill those ones by hand even though the rest of the application will be typed? Other suggestions? When giving descriptions of things do you refer to yourselves by first name, "sponsor" and...

most likely yes, they are ready to issue the visa. however, read through the letter carefully, as sometimes visa offices will request the passport to avoid further delays as they know a final assessment will be made shortly... 90% of the time it is a good sign that the final step is ready to be...

Once your application has reached Buffalo, and usually just after receving the AOR(acknowledgement of receipt) they will send you a general letter to confirm the preassessment - let you know if they require additional documents or not and at the beginning of the letter they stated that at this...
