I'm hoping that it's faster. I'm going to try to call Ottawa and see if they can give me an idea of how long they take to process them...but I doubt they will help. Thanks.

Hey Guys, We just found out today that my Canadian common-law partner has been approved to sponsor me and my application is now 'in process'...yippe. However, we were hoping that my application would have been sent to the Sydney Australian Office (I'm Australian) because they are processing...

Timing for AOR Quick question...I'm Canadian an my boyfriend is Australian and I'm sponsoring him as my common-law partner. We sent in our Outland application on November 21, 2015. We saw that it was received and signed for. I haven't heard anything yet, should I be worried? When should I heard...

Thank you for your reply...I'm glad I read it. We are going to send it through UPS because I just read on another thread that Canada Post has been a nightmare. So I'll just spend the money and send it through Canada Post to the courier address which is: 2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300...

Sending in our application today...ekkk. Just want to confirm with people where to send it to. Since we are applying outland, do we send it to the 'Other Family Class Applications' at: CPC (Case Processing Centre) Mississauga P.O. Box 6100, Station A Mississauga, ON L5A 3A4 Thanks in advance.

Has anyone from Victoria sent in an application recently? If so, did they require a driving history. In earlier posts from a few years ago it seems like people from Victoria were being asked for a driving history record. Just wondering if I should call Vic Roads and ask them to send me my...

Thank you for the reply. I will be sure to fill in all the information. I guess it's better to have to much information than not enough. Thanks.

Hello Everyone, We are sending off my application tomorrow for Common-Law PR and are applying outland to the Sydney office (I'm Australian but my common-law partner is Canadian). I currently live in Canada with my common-law partner, however applying outland is way quicker so that is the route...

Does anyone have any experience with Form 5490. Questions 22 through 26 asks about a formal ceremony and reception and visiting each other during the time of our relationship and how we communicate when we are not together. This seems like weird questions because we are common-law and we are...

Thank you for your quick response...much appreciated. Do you have any experience with Form 5490. Questions 22 through 26 asks about a formal ceremony and reception and visiting each other during the time of our relationship and how we communicate when we are not together. This seems like...

Hello, I'm Australian and my Canadian Common Law partner is sponsoring me to apply for PR. Do I need to add in my common-law partner under section A on form 5406? Seems strange because then she would have to complete a form 5406, but she is Canadian and is the one sponsoring me. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. It's weird because the form won't let me uncheck other boxes. I have to have either elementary school or secondary school checked, and then either college/university or post-graduate studies. I might have to fill in the form again and make sure I only check off...

Hello, I'm filling out form 0008, and it asks you to list your dependants (common-law partner, children). My common-law partner is Canadian and she is the one who is sponsoring me, so do I need to include her under the dependant section? Thank you!

Hello, Can anyone out there help me with question 5 on form 5540 (Sponsor Questionnaire). I have 2 years of College. However, should I fill in the number of years I went to elementary and high school as well? Thank you.

We are applying for the Common-Law family PR. My common-law partner and I live together in Canada, however we are applying outland since it's a lot faster. Are you able to apply for an open work permit, or extension to your current work permit if you apply outland? His current work permit...

Thank you for your response. We are filing outland, so I will wait until we send in the application and get our file number, and then apply for the notes.

Thank you for your response. That is great to know. I don't think we should have any issues since we have 7 years of bank statements, credit cards together, rental agreements and purchased a place together two years ago. We also fill our taxes together as common law partners and are on each...

Thank you for your response. That would be amazing to apply outland in Sydney Australia since they have the shortest wait time at the moment. I guess the only downside is if they require an interview then my boyfriend needs to fly from Canada to Australia to attend the interview. If the...

Hello, I am a Canadian Citizen and my boyfriend is Australian. We have both lived together in Canada for 5 years and have been in a common-law relationship for 7 years. We are applying for common-law PR and I am going to sponsor him. However, the waiting time to apply inland is 26 months...

We are just about to send in our common-law sponsorship application...I don't have a file number yet. Will I receive a file number once we submit it, then we can use that to apply for the notes. At the moment it won't let me continue until I include a file number. Thank you, Julie
