Hi all, After so much silence we got our PPR yesterday from Amman. PA is Jordanian. Here's our timeline: July 15, 2020 - AR Jan 20, 2021 - AOR1, Feb 21, 2021 - SA and letter app would be sent to Amman Feb-April 2021 - various updates through phone calls to IRCC that app was sent to Shanghai...

Thanks so much for this! We could have gotten married we have simply chosen to be common-law. I guess my concern is that they will rightly notice that this is quite an unusual thing to do in my partner's country (Jordan), and will have questions as to why we didn't just get married. We have...

Hi @Buletruck! Came across this (obviously much later than the original thread) and found your story super interesting. My case sounds really similar to yours - common-law in a conservative country where it is technically not legal, different religious backgrounds, etc. Our documentation of...

Hi @CanucksSL - did this end up being an issue? Made the same mistake, and having the same freak out over here. Thanks :)

Hey @San5582 We called IRCC and even they didn't know what it was. We followed the advice of the agent on the phone, and wrote a note explaining that our common-law civil status isn't recognized in Jordan and therefor it wasn't possible to provide a civil status certificate. However, we had our...

Hi @Ali_TO @kaam989 @Toma1993 Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm sponsoring my Jordanian common-law partner and we're also not sure what is meant by this requirement. Thanks!!

hi @Dawoodal and @singleman, Did you find out what is meant by "civil status certificate"? Going through this now from Jordan, and also have this requirement. We are common law so I think it is just a notarized copy of the birth certificate, but wondering if it is also a notarized copy of our...

Thanks @Eveslm! I came across this link elsewhere - we can submit his birth certificate, passport, and family book (though I’m not listed on the family book as we are common law). But I’m unsure because it says the “civil status certificate” must have been issued in the last six months. Of...

Hi. I am sponsoring my common law partner from Jordan. We are completely finished our application (!) except for this one part that we do not understand. Immigration not answering the phone because of covid 19. His Country specific requirements include “Civil status certificate issued in the...
