Thanks! How is your application going - is it done and approved now or what? Oh and did you apply outland?

Whoopi, I must admit I had an epiphanal moment when I finally found marmite on the shelf at Sobeys. Almost equalled when I found cheese and onion crisps at a market stall. Vancouver sounds a bit different to New Brunswick where I am currently. I love it here, to me it's kind of like the UK...

Haha, just saw that I had typed applied! Thanks for the advice, will make sure it's paid and have the receipt before sending off the extension application. Do you think sending it is the best way simply because of the extra time to process it, or is there any other reason you suggested that way?

Just wanted to update the present situation and get some advice if I may. We are about to send in our application for common-law now as our year together has now passed so that's all good. My questions are these: My visitor record from my extension runs out mid october, our initial plan had...

Yes I submitted it online. The letter was dated Nov 6th, so it took, let's see, 47 days. All I received in the envelope was the visitor record, no covering letter or anything else. Good luck with yours BeShoo.

Received a new visitor record today approving the year extension :D

Ok thanks for the info. :)

If we pay the application fees now is their a time limit on getting the application to the processing office? If I am allowed to extend my stay then it will still be a few months until we can apply as common-law so I'm wondering if by doing that we'll end up having to pay again?

Thanks for the info MatthewC. Elkan, I'm sure it won't hinder the application as you seem to have sent everything they'll need to see it's genuine. I figured that applying for the extension will be worth it because if they agree it then that will be excellent but even if they say no then that...

Thanks for the useful advice Elkan, much appreciated. The best of luck with your application it seems to have everything there. Did you or have you applied for an extension?

Upon entering Canada this time I was given a visitor record which expires in October as I had already been in Canada for 5 months earlier in the year. I told the immigration officers at customs that it was our intention to apply under common law status by achieving a year living together. He...

Thanks again Whoopi. It's doubtful she could come over here for any length of time as she is studying presently and has a child too. Although I guess we could perhaps get in a month during the summer and then return together. The other thing in our favour there is that it would also be to a...

Thanks for all the useful help Whoopi. Regarding the staying for 6 months and then coming back a short period later like the two weeks you mention, what kind of things would be best to have ready for customs in case they need proof of ties to UK? Also if I applied to extend the...

Hi, I am currently in a relationship with a Canadian woman. I have been over to spend time with her on three occasions now, initially for a month from mid Dec 2008 to mid Jan 2009. I went over again for 22 days in May and then the third time I visited from July until mid September. What we...
