    Sponsorship advice for British partner?

    Yes, we applied commonlaw and my partner got his CoRP and will be landing this week! :) On the form there is a few lines to why you choose not to marry but you can also include another piece of paper, which I thought about doing but didn't in the end. We tried to keep it short and sweet but in...

    Citizenship requirement - holidays in Canada

    Hello, For citizenship eligibility requirements does time spent on holiday in Canada still counts towards the new 183 days per calendar year rule? I know it talks about "presence" but not sure if "residence" is also a requirement. We may spend some time travelling in Canada, before leaving...

    Sponsorship advice for British partner?

    3) Yes, you can apply OUTLAND while you are both out of the country. 4) If he gets a working holiday visa and you move to Canada, still apply OUTLAND even though you are both in Canada. Yes, he can be on a working holiday visa and still apply for PR. 5) No, you do not need to be employed...

    Where do we even begin?

    Also it might take you longer to prepare your application that expected. It might even take you up to 12 weeks. Another thing to do right away is order your marriage certificate. Collect evidence of your relationship (there are some questions in the forms that deal with this). One of the...

    Does anyone want to take over the spreadsheet? I haven't had a lot of time lately to update it. I can add you to the google document, so you can just add on to the one I have been using.

    Common-LAW PR - Would I have Condition 51?

    That's very true. Someone in the Rome thread is a bit worried about this as well for job reasons. But there are certain people on here who seem to care only about getting their PR and sometimes it gets to me...

    ROME OFFICE

    I'm heading back at the end of this week and my partner will follow at the end of November. We booked our flights awhile ago, and I wanted to head back earlier in case there was any doubt of my intent to return. Plus he has to finish up work before coming.

    Common-LAW PR - Would I have Condition 51?

    Really? I wonder if I would still be lucky with a lotto ticket, we got our CoRP over a week ago. No condition on our CoRP. Although, we couldn't care less if it was there or not. It makes me wonder about all the people who bitch about it...

    COMMON LAW SPONSORSHIP INLAND–– ITALIAN PARTNER

    Yes, Rob did a good job of explaining. But just to add a bit more. He can come to Canada as a visitor. So he won't be able to work during that time. He can also apply online, to extend his visitor visa while you are waiting for the application to be processed. The only downside is that he...

    COMMON LAW SPONSORSHIP INLAND–– ITALIAN PARTNER

    And really apply OUTLAND! It is much faster. Rome has been moving pretty quickly. Even if you had to pay for a flight back to Italy, for the unlikely event of an interview, it will be worth it. He can make the cost of a flight working a minimum wage job in less than a month. And with an...

    COMMON LAW SPONSORSHIP INLAND–– ITALIAN PARTNER

    First of all - if he comes to Canada with you, you can still apply outland. Just if on the chance they ask for an interview he will have to travel to Rome. Only his dependents have to do a medical exam. Does he have any kids? His parents or siblings don't have to do a medical exam. But the...

    Dual Nationality Documents/Police Certificate

    I don't really know the answer to your question but it doesn't matter with regards to the interview because both of those countries have Vienna as their VO. So if you need to go for an interview it will be in Vienna anyways. But I'm not sure if you need both sets of certificates. I would say...
