    Question - how does that work? My husband is being processed in Sydney but has been living in Canada since end of 2014 with me. Can you send ours to the Ottawa VO and not have to do the border thing?

    The one you're given on the day of your wedding is just for show. You need to go online and order the official marriage certificate for your PR app. We got married in SA and ordered online, think we got it within a week. Make sure you double check for typos, I had to send it back TWICE before...

    Yes there are some that were supposed to be processed thru Sydney VO but ended up staying in Mississauga. Our case was in that situation until this week. We got a letter via email back in August saying that our application was going to be processed in Mississauga (this was after our Sponsor...

    Yes your IEC work permit is totally separate from an Outland application. The two don't effect each other at all so he can work on the IEC work permit until he's got his PR card as long as it's done before it expires. Our app was received on June 30 and I think we're nearly done. It's in Sydney...

    You can apply outland whether you live in Canada or not. It just means that you cannot apply for open work permit at the same time. Also, it means that your PR will be processed in Sydney (theoretically) once the sponsor is approved. Our case was sort of weird and they processed our app in...

He is on his second IEC (they no longer let you extend it but luckily they did up until a couple years ago), and now we applied back in June for PR through outland as we're both living in Canada and he already has a work permit thru IEC so hoping...

    Hey all! I am one of you. Though my husband is neither American or European so we're the weird case of an Aussie being processed in Mississauga.
