Hey Everyone, I know I havent been on here at all recently, I have just been busy with work etc and don't get as much time as i'd like. I can see there have been many updates in the last month or so. I have changed the settings on the spreadsheet so that anyone can edit so feel free to update...

Added :)

You should apply outland - much faster. You will need to decide before the medical anyway.

Updated

Hi again, I think I have added all the recent updates to the spreadsheet (link below). If I have missed anything, please let me know!

I did, I went on my holidays to good old England :) And then I got sick which is why I havent been around. I am currently catching up on all the updates!

Woffles - Weegie is right, I volunteered at an animal shelter before I became a PR and had no issues whatsoever. Go ahead and volunteer your time, a great way to meet new people too.

Hey everyone, I've been away for a little while and see there are a few updates for the spreadsheet. I'll get around to updating soon. Hope all's good!

If you sponsored your husband, you signed a contact agreeing to be responsible for him for 3 years. You cannot sponsor anyone else for 3 years. If more than 3 years have passed and you are living in a common law relationship, you will be able to sponsor your common law partner. Be prepared to...

Hi, I have now added you to the spreadsheet. The next update you will get will be from London, when they will either request more information from you or issue you with the COPR. Another option is they ask you to come in for an interview. Could be another month or so before you hear anything...

I have added you. Do you have the date of sponsor approval so I can add that too? Thanks!

Vet25, if you're just heading to the border to land then you don't need to declare anything unless you are going to be having items shipped over at a later date. Congrats!

It is totally confusing!! There are so many little details. The document checklist is the best thing to look at i think. I always tell people to read through it first. Thanks for clarifying this though :)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5409E.pdf So you don't have to complete this form if you are applying as common law? I tried to find some information out but couldn't see anything on the cic website.

You can absolutely apply outland while staying in Canada. As far as I know you don't need to see a lawyer to become common law, but you must be able to prove it. I think you also have to sign the declaration of common law status form and possibly have it notarised. Not sure on this one though, I...

Link to the spreadsheet is beneath all my posts. You are now added :)

Yey good news! I updated the spreadsheet

I just wanted to add that as a UK citizen with a british passport, you no longer need to submit the passport to London as the purpose was so they could attach a one entry visa. Since UK citizens are visa exempt to enter Canada as visitors, London have stopped requesting passports and instead...

I think you just need to apply for a visitor visa if you are only planning to be here for a 3 day vacation. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-how.asp

The COPR is your confirmation of permanent residency and will be more than enough proof. The visa counterfoil was to allow you to enter Canada, but since you are a US citizen and therefore visa exempt this is no longer issued. Do keep the COPR as you need to send a copy of if to apply for...
