Hi all, My husband and I submitted his inland PR application + OWP on December 10th 2019. We've received and AOR for the PR and linked his PR application online. We haven't received any news about his OWP but I recently was able to link it to the online account as well. However, I now realize...

My husband and I are finally (!!!) just about to submit his application and we're just finishing off the checklist. For the police certificate section, he (Japanese) is not required to submit a police check with his application at this time. Should we still write "Japan" on the blank "country...

My husband's visitor status expires in 1 month. We are ready to submit his in-land spousal sponsorship PR application this week and will include an Open Work Permit application. Is my understanding correct that we should also apply to extend his visitor status in case his application got...

My husband requested his Japanese birth certificate through the Japanese embassy in Vancouver and we just received it but it is a "certified copy of the official family register..." and it is in English. I'm thinking this is not going to be adequate. Can someone confirm? I'm going to guess...

Hi there, Filling out PA personal history and wondering what status a working holiday visa falls under in Canada. Visitor, worker, or other? If "other," is there somewhere in this form I can explain it was WHV? Some periods of his WHV he was employed, some periods he was not (not that I...

Hello, My husband (PA, Japanese) and I are working on his in-land application and we've encountered an issue that I'm hoping someone can advise us on. Two years ago he was living in Canada with a working holiday visa. Before that visa expired he applied for a work permit that was eventually...

Hi again all, My husband (PA, Japanese), is currently in Canada with visitor status. A couple years ago, when his working holiday visa was approaching expiry, he applied for a work permit in Canada and was denied. Would this mean we should mark "yes" for Question 4.d? It doesn't mention "work...

Hi there, I'm filling out my employment history and I know it states at the top of the form that a separate sheet can be attached if extra space is needed. I will need to do that, but I can't even fit my 5 most recent employer informations in the boxes provided. The boxes are too small for the...

Hi all, My partner and I are working on his in-country application. We're not done yet but as far as I've scanned through all the documents I haven't noticed anything about adding personal photos, emails, texts, etc. I hear a lot about couples adding these type of documents and information for...

Hi there, I'm just getting started on my application for my husband and I'm unsure about the first preliminary question which directs to the correct checklist/forms/application: "What country does the person being sponsored reside in?" He is Japanese and in Canada on a visitor visa. Does this...
