Hi, I am filing taxes for the first time since moving to Canada last year. Unfortunately the relationship broke down, but it looks like I need to add my former common law partner’s SIN number and earnings to my tax return. I don’t know her SIN number or her earnings as our finances were always...

Good afternoon, I received a passport request on 11/10/21. I subsequently sent the required documents to VFSand then got a notification on 12/10/21 that the IRCC had received and would process them. I haven’t heard anything since then, which I wasn’t too worried about since it was the holiday...

I had a couple of questions regarding the landing process... I haven't received COPR yet but sent my passport off as per request a couple of weeks ago so it should be imminent. My first question is, will a copy of the COPR be fine when I get to Pearson for the landing process? I have no idea if...

Thanks for the reply! I’ll try to be even more patient - we’ve been waiting since August 2020!

Hi, I recently sent off my passport and I was asked for my eye colour and height again.Was there a specific format it needed to be in? I literally just wrote it in letter format, but there’s been a little delay in receiving the confirmation it was received and I’m a little worried it may be...

I had this problem. I could see on my GCkey account that a further document was needed but no letter was received, nor an email and there was no other information on what the document actually was. I sent one webform which was ignored and my second was literally just replied to. It turns out...

Hi, Early last month I noticed that my Gckey had updated to say that more documents were needed to continue to process my application. I did two webforms and have just learned that it was for a re-establishment plan that was due on September 30th. It says I will be unable to upload anything...

Hi, About two weeks ago I noticed a small update on my GCKey account, that said that I needed to submit extra documents. I didn’t get an email about it, and I haven’t had subsequent correspondence to tell me what the documents are! It’s been 13 months already and I’m starting to worry about...

Thanks for your reply. I haven't called yet, but will today. What information could we get from a temp number? I did get a reply to a webform last month with an address update so hopefully that will be fine.

I'm wondering if anyone can help... I am from the UK and my Canadian common law partner is my sponsor. Application arrived on August 24th and since then we've heard nothing! In that time, she has moved back to Canada as her UK visa expired and I joined her on a normal ETA visa earlier this...

Ah right, I haven’t received anything and it was more than 2 weeks, so I’ll send it in again. Thanks for your opinion too! I think we’re going to leave the Outland application in and hope for the best!

Thanks a lot for the reply. What you confirmed is what I had thought. Lots to think about... One question that I have... I changed my address and that of my partner via web form. Should I have had some correspondence back to confirm receipt of the new info?

Hi, I have now been made redundant from my job in the UK. My outland application for PR (as above) had not yet been opened, but I would like to join my partner in Canada and apply for an OWP when I get there. My question is can I apply for an OWP if I’m in Canada even if I’ve got an outland...

Will this apply to common-law couples too?!

One more question... Since the last post I’ve found out that it’s very likely I’ll be out of work by Christmas. Could I leave my current Outland application in and still visit Canada for the 6 months mentioned above? Will my being in Canada change the status of the application? I know I’ll...

Yeah that’s understandable! Again, thank you very much for the advice

That is incredibly helpful, thank you very much!

Hi, I’m from the UK and my partner is from Canada. She is unfortunately having to return to Canada next month, and our plan is for me to join her, although obviously we don’t know when. We have applied via the Family Class as common-law sponsors but my reading on this forum recently has thrown...

Thank you for the info, it’s much appreciated. One last question - is there any work permit or visa that I may be eligible for that will avoid us having to spend a year apart? We thought that the OWP was it, but obviously not! I’m now very worried since 12+ is a long time to be away from...

OK - that’s new information, thank you. In terms of having to be in Canada to apply for and open work permit could I apply during a visit and then be able leave to return to the UK?
