Yes, he is planning on moving back soon. I suppose I can check the application processing times to see if there is a significant difference between applying from Germany or in Canada. So there are no restrictions on her applying for a working holiday visa while she has a sponsorship...

Ok, but alternatively, he could move back to Canada, wait for her to come on a working holiday visa, and then apply to sponsor? I know that he would be returning before she gets the visa, since the process can take a very long time. Does one have advantages over the others, as far as the speed...

one year, i think

Hi, My brother lives in Germany with his common-law partner (she is German). He would like to move back to Canada but is worried about the amount of time he'd have to live apart from his partner if he applies to sponsor her (my application took 16 months). If they send the sponsorship...

Well, ours came today! Unfortunately, it seems like we've misplaced the CSQ, so that's another headache.

ok, thx. But am I right in assuming that the 29 months doesnt apply to our case?

Hi, I submitted my application to sponsor my Swedish common-law partner (outland) in January 2014. The sponsorship was approved and Mississauga forwarded the application to the London office in April 2014. At that time the processing time for London was 11 months. Since February 2015, it shot...

Oh, that's great to hear. Thank you!

Hi, I submitted my application to sponsor my common-law partner in January, 2014 (she is Swedish), when the processing time for the London office was 11 months (I think London received it in April, 2014). As of last month, the processing time jumped up to 29 months (because they received a...
