:D Hi to all ! Just an update about our Landing Experience - Received COPR 28/3/14 Landed 13/4/14 ( already in Alberta as a Visitor since 23/1/14) We didn't want to Flagpole incase an Administrative Refusal affected future US trips so we entered the US via the 'quieter' border crossing at...

Now the official CIC timescale is 11 months I would like to reassure folk that I was not a straightforward application and I got my DM in 220 which is not too much over the average waiting times - so use the spreadsheet as a guide rather than CIC ! I was asked for an additional 30 years history...

Thanks to all the volunteer advice-giver and spreadsheet updaters Sweden ! I wouldn't have made it through to this point without it - after 12 months apart we finally reunited 7 weeks ago under a visitors permit and everyone was sooo much less stressful now we are together again and my son is...

Happy Saint Patrick's Day ! I had a bleary-eyed surprise today at the hospital - whilst showing my elderly father in law how we check ecas for immigration updates on our application I saw Decision Made ! That's 6 months and 12 days since spousal approval I believe ! I have not been called...

We are going to be Visitors until our spousal PR is issued and are taking 3 months insurance to cover us with immediate effect in the event of any delays whilst we are waiting for our own Alberta Healthcare number - just to be sure ! We have chosen CanadaSure and it's a couple of hundred GBPs...

My husband checked this out yesterday with a representative from the registry for Alberta Healthcare and he confirms that once I get my Visitors Permit as the spouse of a Canadian I will be entitled to an Alberta Healthcare number too ! Nicky :D

Many thanks Canuck_in_uk ! Nicky :D

Hi Sweden - I am about to move to Alberta as a Visitor with my son in 2 weeks to wait out the remainder of our Outland PR application (after a year apart from my husband ) as we can now get my son into school after approval by the School Board for funding (since we have a spousal PR...

I have had experience of this situation with my young son and schooling in Canada whilst we wait for our PR to be issued - I have been waiting in the UK because I was advised initially he couldn't attend school while we wait - now I know he can we are flying out in the NY after a year apart...

Many thanks - I must have had mine done that way - just didn't realise that's what it was called ! ::)

Hi - what is the "Emedical way" please ? :D

I wish you luck CDAN and hope what ever they present you with you come out smiling .... I know how I would be feeling :o The things we do for love eh !

Thanks for the added info - I know interviews worry everyone but it's infinitely better than rejection at the first hurdle - at least you get a chance to clarify an issue ! much appreciated folks :)

Many thanks for your reply - like many I am over anxious and over thinking the whole process - from what I can gather it would be doubt about the relationship of a married couple being genuine,rather than the CL rule of needing to have co-habited for more than 12 months, that might lead to an...

Been following the thread about interviews and just wondering if anyone can advise me please :) I have been married to my Canadian husband for almost 16 months ( since 7/2012 ) ( together for almost 27 months since 8/2011 ) - on 30/1/13 he returned to Canada for employment reasons 6 months...

Congratulations - I hope you are enjoying the feeling ! it must have been a long slog watching others come after you and get their COPR so quickly ! I notice that it has taken just over 12 months and was wondering if you are aware of what slowed your process down ? I wonder if having to trawl...

I am a newbie and also an August applicant watching members with the same application dates get DMs - obviously giving me false hope that I will be next ;D Having spoken to Sweden they are likely clear cut simple and straightforward applications - with no non-accompanying and accompanying...

Many thanks NBaker for your very prompt reponse and helpful information - at least I now know I could work in Canada without a permit if my partner sponsers me as his spouse and the time-line is useful too !

Nine months ago I met my Canadian partner whilst he has been working in UK on a 2 year visa. His visa runs out on 1/8/2012 and he intends to renew it so we can stay together in the Uk for longer although we intend to return permanently to his home in Alberta at some point in the future with my...
