Move out of GTA, so that you could afford a decent place with your budget. Are you tied to your current location jobwise? Try to avoid condos as condo/association fees can easily add up to the half of your mortgage

It's done automatically. When the OP will apply for mortgage, he will have to pass the stress test anyway.

There might be a good angle in buying an old house for the purpose of renovating (if we are talking about somewhat livable place to begin with). You can live there while renovating (my friends do it). You can extend your renovation indefinitely, spreading your expenses over longer period of...

Look at Gatineau

Just for the reference: my wife received PPR in the end of March and she received an email for virtual landing on September 10th. It took in total 6 months between her PPR and COPR

Our process is done finally. Here is the timeline: Application received by the CIO Sydney - February 24th, 2020 AOR - March 6th, 2020 SA - November 24th, 2020 Medical Request - November 24th, 2020 Biometrics - Exempt (did for TRV) Spouse with the dependents moved to Canada under TRV - December...

We also have an update: My wife was sponsored as outland but she has been in Canada since December 2020. On March 25th, 2021 she got a PPR from Warsaw VO. On the same day, my wife opted for virtual landing as she was in Canada. Then, for 5.5 months we were going back and forth with Warsaw and...

Thank you! I will ask a question there as well

She did. Once she was in Canada, we informed IRCC multiple times. I even called IRCC to make sure that her address was updated. It didn’t change how her application was processed, however. Eventually, she got PPR from Warsaw and was given an option to proceed with the virtual landing, which she...

Yep, she did it the day she recieved her PPR. In May we found that her webform didn’t reach the visa office, so we updated the address again and it was accepted. The PPR letter came from the Warsaw VO. We’ve asked our MP for involvement but there is not a lot she can do. Also our Warsaw VO says...

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any outland applicants who moved to Canada during the sponsorship process, recieved a passport request letter from a local VO (outside of Canada) and now are waiting (or already performed) a virtual landing because the timelines are quite terrible. Our...

Can I ask what was the date when you received a PPR?

Depends on how much she has to show. If her financial situation is doubtful, it's probably not a good idea

She needs to demonstrate that she has a plan in place to get a job and that she is actioning on that plan. She also can't be on welfare while she's sponsoring you. I was unemployed when I started sponsoring my wife. I just wrote a letter, explaining what I was doing to get employed. When I got...

Yep. My wife is waiting for virtual landing now

Right but there are cases of rejections for families with kids too. We, for example, did not have a formal wedding ceremony with reception and because of that we were not able to provide photos of the wedding as we don't have any. My point is that there are many ways to support your case even...

My wife is almost 13 years older than me. We did not have any issues with her eligibility. We did not go an extra mile to prove the authenticity of our relationship. We just provided what was required. No interviews, no ADRs. We do have a child together though

Hey, we are pretty much in the same boat. My wife received her PPR in March 2021 too. The visa office is Warsaw. We informed the office that my wife was in Canada already but it took them more than 2 months to transfer the file from Poland to Canada. Now, it’s been 4 months and we haven’t...

Sure. You can show the insurance with you name on it. It's easy to explain why your name doesn't appear on the title - you have no status in Canada to be able to apply for mortgage together with your husband. Therefore, he is the only one buying the house. Usually, when gifted funds are being...

My wife is in the same boat. It's been 3.5 months now after her PPR (Warsaw) and for the last two weeks her file has been in Sydney. We've already applied for a visitor record. It's very frustrating
