    Thanks for your reply. So you sent a scanned copy of your passport, 4 photos, and the Appendix B correct?

    Hi All, Just wondered if any of you experienced with the ppr could help. We've been in processing since June 24th and he's due to come back here in August for a wedding. Once we get the ppr I'd like to act quick, so hopefully everything can be done during the visit. Its just tough and expensive...

    Thanks for your reply! Yes I'm leaning the way of waiting until they ask. It just seems to make sense not to give them any extra info that might delay processing.

    Hi All, I have a quick question that I thought I'd ask for additional opinions. My partner renewed his kiwi passport as it was set to expire soon. Should I send this along to Sydney via email now, (our app has been there for 2 months now, no progress thus far), or wait til they request a scan of...

    Thanks for your post! Its so helpful (and encouraging!) to hear about other experiences. Are you on the spreadsheet? I don't know about others but I watch that a lot to see trends in Sydney. Helps me to feel like something is happening during the looooong wait. Cheers!

    I see that message in google chrome too. If you press proceed anyway you can go through to the cic website as usual. Another option is to try another browser like internet explorer or firefox if you feel uneasy about using chrome.

    So sorry to hear that! Must be frustrating! Will you try to contact them soon? I think the medicals exp is probably a good question at this point... and you are nearly at their 9 months mark. All the best!

    How much proof should be sent in?

    Not sure if this helps, I called skype and asked for records because my partner and I had talked for several months on skype only. Skype doesn't keep records of skype to skype calls, but they gave me permission to use their logo on the copy-paste. I put that on and included the email giving me...

    Wow, its taking a long time for you! I'm concerned this will happen for us too as we had delays in stage 1. Have you heard anything about extending the medical? Looks like yours (or your partners) medical expired in Jan. I'm curious about how they handle this.

    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Hi There, In order to be considered common-law you have to live together for 12 months consecutively. Otherwise, you'd have to be married to apply for spousal sponsorship. Have you been living together for more than a year elsewhere? The only catch is that I think you'd have to be common-law at...

    That's great! It should be quick. My MP's office got an answer in a day and I had sponsor approval the next day. Good luck!

    A little worried...

    Hey there, How long ago was "back then"? Have you been living together for a year since that time? My partner came to Canada on a working holiday visa as a single person. We have done an outland sponsorship as we were common law only after living together for one year. Our relationship is much...

    Which CIC Visa Office are you referring to in your letter? Have you received sponsor approval and now it is in Sydney? Or was this from the Mississauga office? If its the Canadian side and you are still awaiting approval you can definitely call! And if you don't get far with that... go to your...
