Dear community, I have difficulties linking my paper PR common-law sponsorship application to my online account. Whenever I fill in all of the requested information online, I encounter a message along the lnes of "Based on the information you provided no application could be found". I`m pretty...

Thanks for your response, scylla! That makes sense. I`m going for a dental cleanup every 3 months, which adds up to about 800 $. Don`t you think that there are options that would cover that plus any emergency dental procedures in case of an accident or so? Insurance for emergencies is...

Dear all, I applied for PR through common-law sponsoring. Until I can be on a benefits plan with my gf, I need health insurance for my own. Can anyone recommend a good company providing health insurance for Canada (and, preferrably, also Europe)? I`m looking for a provider who`d cover all or...

Hi, I`m applying for PR via common-law sponsoring. I`d also like to apply for an open work permit along with my PR application. I downloaded the documents for the open work permit, and one of the documents is the IMM5409 ("Statuary declaration of common-law union"). Do I need to fill this form...

Hi everyone, I`m currently working on my PR application, and I have a few questions that I`d appreciate to have answered: 1. Unless clearly outlined, should you leave cells in a document blank if they don`t apply to you or should you write something along the lines of "not applicable"? 2...

Hi everyone, I`m currently working on my PR application, and I have a few questions that I`d appreciate to have answered: 1. Document IMM5532e: (1) "sponsor`s employment history": My common-law partenr is currently employed. Which date should I use for the "to" cell in the from/to section? The...

Thank you, Bs65!

Dear all, I`m currently working on the IMM1344 document for my PR application. Question 8b asks for the date we entered the common-law relationship. According to the CIC, you`re common-law when you have lived in a marriage-like relationship for one year. So, do you enter the relationship on...

Ok, thanks!

Thank you. Is there anything special that needs to be included in the letter? I`ll ask them to be as precise as possible in detailing: - their relationship to me - how they found out about my girlfriend / about myself - their view of our relationship - anything else? Also, do they need to...

Ok, thanks! Then I`ll ask them to write their letter by computer, print it, and manually sign it (nothing else). Does that sound sufficient?

I appreciate the answers, guys! One more question: Do the letters from friends/family confirming the authenticity of our relationship need to be notarized? It doesn`t say anything about that on the IMM5589 document checklist doc, but some people online say it`s neccessary. Do you know what`s true?

Thank you very much for your answers, canuck_in_uk!

Thank you very much for your answers, Wakki!

Dear community, I`m ready to apply for permanent residence through common-law sponsoring (my girlfriend sponsoring me). I`ve been living with her in Canada for 12 months now. For that duration, I`ve had an open work permit. Now (15 months in), I have a Visitor Extension, which will expire in 4...

Thank you both very much for your answer! Luckily, I received my Visitor Extension today. hence, I`ll be going to the funeral. Is there anything I need to keep in mind when coming back into Canada? Is there any other document that I`ll need besides the Visitor Extension confirmation? Thanks!

Dear community, Today, I received my Visitor Visa extension. The date of expiry will be on May 1 (ca. 105 days left). I`d like to apply for PR (along with an open work permit) through common-law sponsoring (I`ve lived together with my Canadian girlfriend for over a year now). I have two...

Thanks for your reply, Bs65! Do you think that things would be different if I would`ve applied for PR? I`m planning on applying for PR soon through common-law sponsoring. If I applied for PR before I depart, would my chances of re-entering be better? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I`m currently waiting to receive my Visitor Visa, which I applied for in the beginning of October (within the permissible time before my IEC work permit expired). From what I`ve read, I`m currenty under "implied status", which means that I`m legally allowed to stay in Canada up...
