Hello everyone, My boyfriend and I applied for common-law sponsorship a few months back (Still waiting on AOR1...). We did our taxes separately and did not mention to the CRA that we are in a common law relationship as we recently found out about that. Is it bad that we filed our taxes as...

That is true, thank you! Another question (although probably won't have an answer for it), do you know if a specific method has a shorter wait time than others? And lastly, we do have 6 months left to add to our proof that is true, what do you suggest is good to add or work on these next 6...

Hi everyone! I apologize in advance for the long read... I am a Canadian citizen and my girlfriend is from South Korea who came to Canada to study (she recently graduated, I am still in school). We are both in our early twenties. We've been dating for almost 4 years and she has 14 months left...

Hello everyone, I applied to renew my PGWP for an extra year (my initial one was short due to my passport expiring) a couple months ago, but I haven't heard back from CIC yet. I submitted my application to Canada Post on April 16th and received a tracking number. My tracking number said that...

Thank you! I am worried because my PGWP expires in 3 months and I submitted my application about 1.5 months ago but haven’t gotten any update. My application included: receipt for work permit payment, the PGWP paper application, and a letter of explanation. I don’t know what I should do because...

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I already submitted it via paper about a month ago, but no reply yet. Is there anyway to check the status of the application? Also, how long did it take you to get a response/approval? Thank you :)

Bump (sorry if this is not allowed... I’ll delete it if it is :oops:)

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know, was worried I'd only be qualified for 2 haha.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a guide to extending my PGWP as I was only given 2 years when I applied due to my passport expiring. I have recently renewed my passport and my PGWP will be expiring in 4 months, and I'm looking to apply to extend it. I've found some guides on here, but some...

Hello everyone, Sorry in advance for the long post. I (Canadian citizen) am planning on sponsoring my girlfriend (Korean citizen) via common-law in 1 year. We have been together for 2 years now, and we will be moving in together in the new year to begin the 12 month process. I have a few...

Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry for the stupid question, but are you referring to the stickied guide on this forum? Thanks!

Hello everyone, just 2 quick questions! :) 1. I am (Canadian citizen) sponsoring my girlfriend through common-law. She is from South Korea but is currently residing in Canada. When looking under country-specific requirements, we found: If the principal applicant holds a passport from this...

Hello everyone, My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together soon to hopefully apply for common law sponsorship next year. I am a Canadian citizen, and she is from South Korea on a post graduation work permit here in Canada. She is currently in Korea right now visiting family for a...

Thank you very much for the quick response, I really appreciate it! I think the plan is to ultimately sit down and discuss the pros and cons of living away and at home with both her and my parents. Living at my parents for the full 12 months would be nice as it'll be easier to gather proof of...

Hello everyone, my girlfriend (on a work permit in Canada) and I (Canadian citizen) having been dating for 3 years and I would like to sponsor her via common-law. We haven't been living together during our time dating, so we will have to first fulfil the 12 month cohabitation requirement. I just...

She is from South Korea. Our parents are both fine with the civil marriage right now due to our circumstances, but they would definitely like to (as well as us) arrange a ceremony once her PR situation is (hopefully) figured out!

This is a great suggestion, unfortunately my parents really want a huge ceremony for my wedding, her parents however are indifferent. Both parents (as well as us) are fine with a civil wedding right now due to my school and her work permit situation, and once everything is solved we plan to...

Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it! Unfortunately I'm not sure if we'll be able to marry in her home country as it will be expensive for us as well, and I am stuck in school. Will the application be harder to go through if it is a civil marriage (i.e. civil marriage now...

Hello everyone, this is going to be a long one so I apologize in advance. I am a citizen of Canada (was born here), and my girlfriend of 3 years has been trying to get PR status for the past 2 years through express entry (she came to Canada as an international student at my university, that is...
