    Engagement Ring & Traveling between countries

    You clearly haven't watched Border Security, lol. Maybe I'm being paranoid, and if that's the answer, then that's the answer.

    Engagement Ring & Traveling between countries

    I've been searching online and can't find a clear answer! My inland common law PR process is almost complete. I'm a US citizen immigrating into Canada. I have the interview in 9 days, but before then, we'd booked a trip back to Chicago to meet with family and celebrate our recent engagement...

    ****October 2018**** INLAND SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP

    Hey guys! Applied: Oct 31, 2018 AOR: Nov 20, 2018 Med Exam passed: Feb 7, 2019 (did not receive email, but saw status online) I noticed that a lot of people from the same timeframe are beginning to receive their OWP. That made me go back and double check my application. I think I was a dummy...

    Acknowledgment of Receipt

    I'm finding now opposite information on this forum saying there will be two AORs. I stand confused. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/link-application-online.550720/

    Acknowledgment of Receipt

    Thank you very much. I was afraid to attach my application number to my CIC online account if I was going to receive a separate number for my application. But if the number my sponsor got was correct, I'll go ahead and attach it. Thank you!

    Acknowledgment of Receipt

    What should I anticipate for AOR? We've received AOR for the sponsor's part of the application at 3 weeks but not for the applicant. Should we also expect to receive AOR for the applicant? We're currently at 5 weeks since received.

    Questions about getting an apartment together for common-law sponsorship

    My partner and I hold separate accounts for our personal funds, but have one joint account for bills. We opened a joint credit card for convenience and additional proof (mostly for groceries and nights out). I would make every effort to show combined finances, and a shared account of some kind...

    Questions about getting an apartment together for common-law sponsorship

    Get your names on the lease together. Put both of your names on the utilities (assuming you're the applicant). Opt out of electronic bills and get your statements sent to your shared address. Keep those statements for your application. Get a shared bank account, if you haven't already, for...

    Inland common law sponsorship - snag

    I still have my driver's license and legally keep an address in Florida. My company is 100% US based company, I work remotely. Having that decently paying job is one of the only reasons they let me back into Canada when I had my snafu in Buffalo, because I wasn't a drain on Canada's resources.

    Inland common law sponsorship - snag

    Thanks for the great advice. I submitted my application less the FBI check on Friday, and it arrived at the Mississauga CBC today. Cancelling my trip this week isn't an option, as it would put two very big companies in a big bind and leave me without a job. However, I am going to bring my proof...

    Hey all, On April 1st 2017 I came up to Toronto from Florida to begin the immigration process with my partner, who is a Canadian citizen living in Toronto. We explored different avenues of how to pursue immigration so we could be together, and after a consult with an immigration firm, we...
