    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Ha, I didn't even know the traffic report was only for QLD and Vic! Luckily (for anyone else needing this and they're in Canada) I was able to authorise my dad to go into Dept of Transport on my behalf, just scan and email 3 forms of certified ID and letter of authorisation and the QT Release...

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Hi All Just an update.. Sydney VO have requested my 10 year traffic history - I was unaware this was needed !! Apparently only an Australian requirement. It's a delay and a pain to organise from Canada.. So for all applying for PR be aware of this!!

Good luck! Hey...

    Applying for extension tourist visa - getting married

    Hi ! Wow that is a crazy waiting time, although I think you'll find that's a maximum and it quite possibly would be less than that (maybe look for other people that applied from your country on this forum and see how long it really takes!) I'm not sure about applying online - can someone else...

    Applying for extension tourist visa - getting married

    No probs, happy to help! :) I'm not too sure about the PR process for fiancee's, we were married before I arrived in Canada (we married in my home country), but yeah you don't have to be outside of Canada to apply for outland, and I didn't mention on the extension I was applying for outland...
