    PR card mailing time

    I received mine this year within 5/6 weeks. I wouldn't be calling up CIC about it just yet, wait until after the estimated time to call them. Fingers crossed you get it soon though, it's a great feeling finally having the final product you've been waiting for!

    New PR through sponsorship - relationship turning abusive

    My status background: I moved to Canada in August 2014, living with my partner since I arrived. We married in August 2015. I was accepted for my PR earlier this year through spousal sponsorship - I have had my PR status since around July. My husband and I have been married for 17 months now...

    Corruption within the CIC

    Jeez, cool it. I was simply explaining my own experience, that's all I can and did do. I made no such implication that this guys, or the next guys, application is not genuine.

    Thank you :) Well, it didn't make it worse. But thanks.

    PR approved, what next?

    I am from England. We sent off the application April 4th, they received April 26th and started processing April 27th (at Mississauga). Around the end of May (can't remember specifically) we received notice my husband had been approved able to sponsor me and that the application was forwarded to...

    Corruption within the CIC

    I can't speak for every individual who works in immigration, but you'd have to have world-class connections to be able to bribe your way through CIC, if it's at all possible should you apply as everyone else does. Times differ per case and per application route. Inland applications take longer...

    I don't Know where to start - help!

    I was/am in a similar situation, but we did it slightly differently. He's Canadian, I'm from England, we met on a video game like yourselves. I originally landed as a tourist, intending to go back home but I decided to stay and make a go of it in Canada. I extended my tourist visa to a...

    PR approved, what next?

    We applied for PR through spousal sponsorship, outland route (but still staying in Canada). It was a very quick process and took only 2.5 months to be approved! We received the approval letter and were asked to call a number to arrange an appointment at our nearest CIC office. I'm just waiting...

    Health coverage whilst waiting for PR

    I applied through the outland route. My study visa is valid to any institution across provinces, it simply permits me to study at any university/college course or program for longer than 6 months, and it is permitted for 4 years (3 years remaining now). I am not enrolled in any classes...

    OHIP for PR in process, currently on study visa?

    I'm in a bit of a loophole when it comes to getting OHIP (Ontario provincial healthcare), and I was wondering if I could get some advice as to what I can do..

    Validating printed forms, bar code issues

    I'm currently going through the printing process at home with the Family Class Sponsorship for PR with the husband. However after clicking validate and printing, the barcodes (that have shown on my previous IMM applications last year) do not show and there is simply a blank space on the page...

    Processing times and Inside/Outside Canada applications

    I am from England and have been in Canada for 1.5 years on a student visa, living with my Canadian (born and raised) husband. We are about to submit applications for PR but have a few remaining issues we are unsure of. 1. Although I am living inside Canada, we have been advised by multiple...

    Change address on visa

    I'm currently on a student visa in SK, moving to ON in a few weeks to live with family. My (Canadian) husband will be sponsoring me for PR, we have everything ready for the application but want to change our address first on my current visa and apply for PR with our new address rather than...

    Can my in-laws sponsor me?

    I am currently living in Canada on a student visa, married to a Canadian Citizen, about to apply for Spousal sponsorship. Unfortunately we have run into some money issues, and he may *possibly* have to declare bankruptcy. If so, from my current understanding that stops my husband from being able...

    Proof of common-law/conjugal relationship

    I had no idea I could apply outland whilst being inland (purely from a language point of view, outland/inland taken literally is what directed me to the inland application), I go only from information read on the CIC site as I am not using/paying a rep/lawyer. So thank you for the information...

    Proof of common-law/conjugal relationship

    I found this section a tad confusing too. We were asked if we were common-law (living together for 1+ years), and then asked "If you are married, answer a) b) etc...". We technically are both, so have been asked to provide proof for both. So for yourself, you would say you are not common-law...

    Proof of common-law/conjugal relationship

    I have included messages/logs within the proof of the legitimacy of our relationship. Photographs of trips/airplane tickets/show tickets are included as proof of our relationship/trips also. I'm currently on a 4-year study permit, taking classes at University. I have completed a degree in the...

    Proof of common-law/conjugal relationship

    My husband is sponsoring me via in-land application. I have lived in Canada with him for over a year. He owns the house, and we signed a lease when I arrived in Canada (needed for proof for various documents/licenses/registrations over the year), but no bills are in my name. The only thing we...
