    has anyone moved to Canada before Permanent Residency is approved?

    Basically I will be switching my wife's status from VISITOR to PERMANENT RESIDENT. From the CIC website, it says "Becoming a permanent resident of Canada To stay in Canada as a permanent resident, you must leave the country and apply from outside Canada, except in the special cases listed...

    has anyone moved to Canada before Permanent Residency is approved?

    These answers are so conflicting. And scary. What is the real answer? I need to know. Our application has gone through the initial approvals, so now we just wait for the final approval. I am about to buy my tickets for flying from overseas with our (Canadian) son to Canada approx. 5 months...

    Outland application: no proof of residence in Quebec (A-1520-BA section 6)

    I have been approved as a sponsor for my wife, so I am submitting my KIT A application for Quebec. The problem is that I have never lived in Quebec, but in the A-1520-BA section 6 requires one of the following: Bill or statement of account from an electricity company Bill or statement of...

    We also submitted it by paper (with the new application package) but since they asked for the eIMM5669, we did that for her using the same info. I hope I didn't misunderstand - they wouldn't need it for me (the Canadian citizen sponsor) or her mother, as she is not dependent on her or coming to...

    SA received today! We submitted the eIMM5669 in the online system yesterday, I am assuming that we don't have to send another signed version to Mississauga. Now we wait to find out which Visa office it will be transferred to (should be Warsaw?) I also have to pay for and submit the Quebec forms...

    Got some great news yesterday, AOR1 email received (stating a date of January 17th for some reason) and application linked successfully. Feels like it's really happening now! They did say I was missing my IMM 5669 .. but I submitted it for my wife (applicant). Under the newer application...

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hi oneesaenv, yes they told us that they hand it to Canada Post. Canada Post told me they are not able to trace packages that arrive from outside of Canada. They told us we can make a "lost mail" claim fairly soon, but the investigation takes months. I tried linking my application each day with...

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    I am also going to be landing in Quebec. Sent my application on Jan 7, still no confirmation of receipt, no AOR1, definitely no SA. I have my Quebec forms all ready to go, just waiting until I can actually proceed. Strange how some people even in similar situations have a superfast timeline...

    Moving to Canada only a few months after sending Outland application?

    Thank you!! The application was sent Jan 7, we just haven't received the AOR1 yet, should be any day now. No visitor visa is required from EU citizen for 6 months, so the CBSA officer doesn't need to issue anything at the border. We would just arrive in June, I would find a job, but she does...

    Moving to Canada only a few months after sending Outland application?

    We plan to move to Canada by July 1st, even earlier would be preferable - May or June. Our application still hasn't been received yet. My wife is only permitted to stay as a visitor in Canada for 6 months. With the 12-month waiting time, we would need more like 9 months. Will she get kicked...

    I am in a very similar situation, also very frustrated. We mailed from abroad on January 7, tracking will not show me anything. I still have not received an AOR1 23 days later. Please let me know if you do manage to contact CIC somehow and how you did it? Every day is really getting stressful...

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    update: I checked with DHL express, DHL global and Canada Post. Canada Post confirms that they would be the one delivering it from regular tracked post from Latvia, but have no way of tracking or knowing if it was delivered. As our package was sent by registered mail, it may be that a...

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Aw, that's not mentioned in the official application guide. If my package gets returned to sender by Canada Post, then I will re-send with Courier this time. What a nerve-wrecking experience not knowing right now.

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Thank you, there is no way I could have known this without your experience. I filled out the contact form on the dhl.ca website to ask. General question, how are people sending by courier? I would have loved to do that to be safer, but the application guide only give a PO box. The CIC website...
