Thanks, looks like we might need to go on a roadtrip then. Probably easier to just flagpole, aside from the 11 hour drive. lol

We've got until the end of April, any idea on how long it takes on average to get an appointment?

That's good news! Even if we are just going to the office here without going over a border?

We applied through the Paris office at the beginning of June 2015 and just received our approval package in the mail. (Really quick processing time!) :D :D However we've noticed a few errors on her (my wife's) package. For example, they put her marital status as single, didn't write the last 4...

That's what we figured, but from our past experiences with CIC we just weren't sure. We've only been apart for around 6 months or so total. We've got a timeline of things we've done with pictures and a printout of our skype history. We where just going to add in a few pages of texts throughout...

Also, we're not sure if we should include all our text messages to each other. It's how we communicate outside of skype most of the time. All our texts are over 1000 pages, and that seems a bit excessive not only for the amount of paper and cost of shipping it but who is going to actually read...

Fair enough, this has been the case with most of our contact with CIC, we just assumed that one of the people responsible for physically letting you into the country would have a better idea. How are there no set in stone rules about these kind of things? All in the same envelope, thanks!

Hello! I'm sure someone has posted this somewhere already, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. My wife and I where on vacation and upon returning she got pulled aside for an interview at immigration (as is normal because she's not a citizen). We hadn't put in her application yet and the...

Hi everyone! I'm sponsoring my fiance after we get married at the beginning of April. She's living here with me(Canada) right now. And we intend to live here throughout the application process. In the OUTLAND application, should we put our Canadian address as her current address, or her old...

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll head over to the Paris thread for any other questions that come up. Again, thanks!

Also, sorry, I'm having difficulty locating the Paris thread. Any search for Paris doesn't give me anything remotely current. Thanks! ;D

Because our honeymoon will be out of the country and she's visa exempt does that mean when we come back from the honeymoon she'll need to get a new stamp on landing? If that's the case, we'll only need the extension for a couple weeks at the most. If she shows up at the border with tickets for...

Yes, she's got a visa for the US. I don't believe it's necessary for flag poling though as you just tell them what you're up to and the US customs give you a slip saying you refused entry. (Or something similar) You don't actually step foot on US soil. Anyhow, my main concern is about her...

Thanks for this, we're applying outland with a flight to Paris in mind. We both enjoy travelling a lot, and not being able to leave the country for a couple years would be crushing.

Hi there, My fiance is French, and I'm a Canadian Citizen. She's currently here with a 6 month Visitor Status, which expires April 5th. We're getting married here (Alberta) April 11th, and then we'll be applying for her PR. I was wondering if it would be possible for us to flagpole at the...

Hello everyone! Could I ask for input on if I've got everything right before my girlfriend and I start the process? We're going to be applying outland because she is from France. She's currently living with me, and here on a 6 month visitor visa with 2 months remaining. We're getting married...

Thanks for responding so quickly! I'll Check out the Paris thread and see if I can find more information. One more question though, is it much more difficult of a process or even possible to sponsor her if I'm outside of Canada?

Hi all! I'm Canadian citizen born here in Canada. My girlfriend is French. We don't have common-law status, but we're willing to get married to stay together. We recently went through an ordeal with CIC in trying to get her a work visa via the Young Professional Exchange program (IEC)...
