As a Canadian 25-year-old who sponsored her British 25-year-old common law partner I can tell you it certainly be done. We applied outland while living in Germany, and the process ran very smoothly. Don't worry about explaining why you aren't married - it's a very small section on the form, and...

Completely agree, although I am unsure whether they exist outside Ontario. I have been using them since I was about 12, and they have been nothing but wonderful. I will concede on the no physical bank part however.

Thank you both so much - we'll have to keep it safe, and after all the hassle it took to get it, I feel like we should frame it!

Dear all, Well, it's finally over. The last part of the process, receiving of the PR card, was completed today! We are so incredibly grateful that not only are the headaches and stress over, but that we had so many of you to help us along the way. Our thoughts go out to the people still...

Hi all, Just a quick update. We landed Thursday at Pearson, and it was much easier than anticipated. We were far less than an hour (though they said that the day before was sooo much worse). They didn't ask for our B4 forms (that we worked so hard on!), but they also didn't give my partner any...

Hi all, I haven't been on here since I updated with the fact that we received our COPR (2 months ago), so excuse my absence. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are landing at Pearson tomorrow (!!!!!) and we will update you with how the process goes. As ever, good luck to those who are...

Thank you to all who responded. We got my partner insurance from Blue Cross and will be landing tomorrow!

Dear all, Terribly sorry as I'm sure this subject has been broached before, so forgive the repetition. My partner is moving to Toronto in about a week (with COPR in hand). He will need to have his health insurance covered for the next 3 months and we find ourselves unsure of which provider...

We are literally "shipping" 2 boxes (both about 50 pounds). We are simply sending them through DHL. I am getting quite worried here! Edit: It should also be noted that most of the items being shipped are my stuff (I am a Canadian citizen)! Should I even declare it at all?

Even if we explained the situation? We don't really have another option.

Agreed, but we are without choice as we leave our apartment to go backpacking for a month (before we land) and cannot have it shipped after we leave.

Hi all, I have a couple of questions that I would love to have answered before land in Pearson in late August. 1. I have seen conflicting answers to this question, but would my partner be able to get his SIN number at the airport? 2. I am completely aware of the 3 month rule for OHIP, but as...

I sponsored my British partner while living in Germany (still here for another week) and dealt with the exact same thing. Our lease was 12 pages, and to get it all translated would have been a pain. We had the first page translated where all our details were given and the last that included our...

Hi all, I have been absent from here lately (blame it on getting ready for leaving Germany), so I forgot to mention that we have officially received our COPR on Thursday. We won't be landing until the very end of August, but it's nice to have the official, official confirmation.

I'm curious about my situation regarding this matter. My partner was granted his COPR on June 27. We will have cohabitated for 2 years come July 12th. We will land August 29th. So, will we be affected by this rule? At date of issue we were under 2, but by date of landing we shall be over that...

I noticed this earlier and thought, "hmm, maybe they don't think our decision made is a positive decision". Forgive my doubting, my neuroses have gone a little crazy during this process. For extra information, it says we went in process on June 23rd, but it certainly wasn't updated on the...

In some awesome news, our application now says Decision Made. We are absolutely thrilled!

Have any of them been rejected without an interview? That's my constant worry... :-[

Paperclip! It says specifically not to staple the documents (perhaps if they need to copy or separate the documents). No, NO, STAPLES!

Congratulations!
