You don't have to be married but to show common law, you have to prove that you share joint accounts etc. There's a list somewhere on the website. Being married, definitely makes it easier. If you plan to be in Canada, then you can apply for inland PR. It takes about 2 years. But at the same...

No, it is not necessary. We just sent a copy of the picture page to the VAC office in NY and there was no problem. We didn't include any travel stamps.

Thank you so much for the information.

Thank you for confirming it. Did you go through the VAC office? How long did it take?

Questions for any US applicants. I sponsored my husband for permanent residency. Our application was received in April 2017. We finally received the request for passport. The letter for passport request also states that citizens from visa-exempt countries (USA?) do not have to actually mail...

Questions for any US applicants. The letter for passport request also states that citizens from visa-exempt countries (USA?) do not have to actually mail their passport but can send photocopies of every page in their passport. Just wondering if anyone has done this. Also do we need to sign any...

April applicant here. Finally received a request for passport today!! NY office.

Sorry, not the NY state certificate. That we can request and submit. It's the final document that doesn't even apply to him. "Police Certificates from every state of residence where you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 18." He has only lived in NY since 18.

I'm wondering if anyone has gone through this or heard of this happening before! Just to recap: My husband's application was processed in Mississauga (April applicant) up until the Background Check stage started. Soon after it was transferred to NY in early October. While the application was...

If anyone can shed some light, I would appreciate it! Our application was processed in Mississauga. On Oct 6th, it was transferred to NY. I was under the impression that we were a week or two away from receiving the DM notification. Now it's close to a month and there has been no change. Where...

I'm guessing the background check stage. We submitted medicals after they asked for it. A week later it was updated as Passed and this was last month. Currently it says no interview or biometrics required. I don't know if it will change. It's a straightforward application so I'd be really...

Congratulations!! That's awesome. How long after the transfer email did they request for the passport?

I was concerned that transfer to NY is going to cause further delay in getting approved. Based on the timeline, I was expecting an approval by the end of the month or sometime in November.

Thank you!!

Thank you. I was freaking out for the last 10 minutes! I was just assuming it means they want an interview which is not a problem except for the cost of having to visit NY. I thought the process was coming to an end as there were no hiccups (other than the online account being broken).

Can someone tell me what this means? I was told that Mississauga was processing our PR. I'm just confused if this part of the regular process or if it means something more! BTW my husband applied from Buffalo, NY.:( Dear XXXX: This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in...

FYI if this may apply to anyone else out there. Our online account continues to be broken. It's been stuck in the very first stage which is "We received your application.....". It always shows that there is pending documentation from our end. Technical support didn't do a thing to fix it. So all...

What address did you send it to? Thank you.

Did you mail it to PO Box 6100 and not PO Box 3000? My application is only for spouse sponsorship and on the website it lists the 6100 address for Other Family Class. Just making sure I send it correctly. Thank you.

Thank you for responding. Where did you send it to? And what about the police clearance? We never got asked for it but the person on the phone said we need to get that ready too.
