Hello, My common law spouse is landing this Friday, (we applied Outland so he is landing via air at YVR) and he’s suddenly very worried about his landing because he got a tattoo last week that has swollen and he can’t walk very well. He’s going to the doctor tomorrow to find out if it’s...

Sounds like you’ve got some good evidence! We also wrote in our letter about why we chose Canada as a place to live over the place we were in and what our plans were to sell our belongings and how we had no work ties or assets in Australia that would prevent us from moving. We mentioned how we...

I think you have to imagine that you are called for an interview and they start asking questions about your marriage, it could be very difficult for you to make this make sense to them. They will ask about a honeymoon and they have asked people before if they have been intimate and questions...

Yes, but add more to it. I wouldn't just send the exact same thing as it could be a case of they want more information and if you only send the same thing then it will look as if you don't have anything else to provide. Possible things to include to show intent to move: -A written detailed...

Send the photos and passport page for the COPR and wait and see when they send you the COPR, they should be aware of this and have changed the date for you. If you receive the COPR with an expired date then you'll need to contact them. But that shouldn't happen unless someone has made a mistake...

For #1, yes do either of those, that should be sufficient. How does she pay you for the rent? Do you have any bank statements that show money being transferred? You can print copies of that as proof. What types of documents do you have regarding the business together? Any permits or bank...

It will change to say something like "Medical results have been approved"

Nice! We'll be in BC as well. I grew up there. :)

Congrats! If I remember correctly we had similar timelines (we might have been a week or two ahead of you?) So exciting you're nearly there! Our GCkey didn't change until we got the COPR issued so don't worry!

Our Outland app took 6 months from start to finish and I've read of many others who had similar experiences but it seems that anything less that 7-8 months is a "best case scenario" and most of those people submitted very detailed applications with no hiccups along the way. Even still, there are...

If he can remember the street or neighbourhood then you should include that information at least. Some people have suggested trying to look for your old house on Google maps and get a guess of where it was that way. He should at least list the years when he lived somewhere else and if he really...

It can take 6-9 weeks.

Go to this page, fill in the information relevant to you, and it will tell you what forms are needed to fill out by both you and your spouse, as well as what country specific forms you may have...

No, you'll need to fill out all of the forms as mentioned in the checklist, as well as include all of your supporting documents, your passport photos, etc and it will all go in one paper application package which you will mail to Canada. In part 6 of the guide it gives the address.

You can apply for Outland spousal sponsorship, read through the CIC guide for the best and most up to date information first, and come back to the forum when you have more specific questions...
