Hi! I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write this very comprehensive and thoughtful answer. It was helpful to give me additional context on some of these questions. My partner is well below 1095 days outside of Canada (more like ~130) so we said no for question 5.3 Again...

Really appreciate the advice and info! We are keeping that in mind re: citizenship.

Amazing. Thank you so much. I wish I asked sooner as I already started gathering a bunch of supporting docs this morning but I’m going to stop right there and just claim as time outside. Amazing, thank you so much. I wish I asked sooner as I already started gathering supporting docs this...

Oh that's such great insight! So, to confirm and ensure I'm clear on this, he would answer: Have you travelled or lived outside Canada in the past five (5) years? - YES 5.3 Have you been accompanying a Canadian citizen who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, your...

Oh, very interesting. When filling out form IMM 5444, question asks: "5.3 Have you been accompanying a Canadian citizen who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, your parent, while you were absent from Canada?" I answered 'yes' to this question as my partner (who is...

Applying for my partner's PR card renewal. We had a stat dec of common-law union signed back in 2017 when we first applied for his PR. Can I just use that same declaration as part of our 'proof of relationship' supporting docs for his PR renewal application? We are still common-law (I'm also...

Hi there, just helping my partner fill out his PR renewal online, and I'm a bit confused about the "Time Spent Outside Canada" section. All of his time spent outside Canada has been with me (a Canadian citizen) for vacations. Would he choose option B (accompanying Canadian citizen who is...

Hi all - just wanted to share my landing experience & an issue we ran into at the airport. My partner received his COPR recently and we planned to do our landing at YVR upon our return to Canada from a recent trip. It clearly states on the CIC website, if you have a COPR you do not need an eTA...

Awesome - that's exactly what we needed to know. Thank you!

Thank you! I also printed out the CIC page to bring with us. Hopefully that along with the CoPR and a work permit will suffice :) Thanks for clarifying re: the landing. I couldn't find any information as to whether it was mandatory to land once you exit and re-enter Canada..I didn't know if it...

Thanks for that link, that answers my first question. So we do not need an eTA. I am just unsure about the landing - if we can hold off until later in August or if we will be "forced" to do it when we return to Canada from the USA in a couple. weeks

Hi - I made a similar post a while back but now that we have COPR in hand I want to clarify, so forgive me if this is a double post. -My common law partner received COPR yesterday -We applied Outland, but my partner is currently living in Canada on a work permit -He holds an Australian...

Nov 21 applicant, received COPR yesterday :)

Wouldn't worry then, I am sure you would be exempt since it's over 10 years. And no.. not a prereq to obtaining police check. We obtained ours without the traffic history. I would also assume you don't have to worry about it!

Have not yet received COPR. PPR docs were only just received May 28, so hopefully will get COPR in next couple weeks or so.

We also applied as common-law to sponsor my Aussie partner. Not sure if you live in Victoria, or ever lived there - but one of the additional documents that they requested of us was a full traffic history for Victoria (my partner lived there for about 6 months, 8 or 9 years ago and had included...

Our COPR should be issued soon and we are also travelling in June. Was planning on applying for an eTA (my partner is currently on a work permit but he has gotten a new passport recently, so will need a new eTA) and then doing the landing upon return to Canada. Is this a logical idea? He won't...

Ah, okay. That’s annoying about the photos but oh well, not the biggest problem to have! So we can’t fly without the PR card once we’ve landed.. good to know. Can we fly with COPR before we land and then land upon return to canada? Or is COPR not sufficient and we would need the eTA? We will...

Ok, so I just re-read the sentence and it says "If you are currently residing in Canada.... required to obtain eTA" so that answers my question about if he can apply for an eTA from within Canada. Duh. But still confused about what we should be doing in this scenario. Just apply for the eTA...

Hi all: received PPR yesterday (yay!) and just a couple questions: 1. Tried searching but couldn't find an answer - out of curiousity, why do they request 2 photos again (same specifications) when these were included with our original application package? What was the point of getting those...
