I know some of you guys had the second line right away... but it makes me happy to at least have the tiniest update. ;D
 
I'm sponsor living abroad, applied PR for my partner under common law partnership.

My partner's application just started last week (HKVO, processing time is about 11 months). We would like to get married and planning for this October. Is it bad timing? Will it be favorable/unfavorable to our application?

Nope, it isn't bad timing. If anything, it could end up making your application go slightly easier (only since you wouldn't need to have the 1-year cohabitation proof). That being said, if they actually are already processing your application there's a chance it could be approved before October.

Sorry, a bit paranoid here. What if they are not happy with my original application's cohabitation proof and during that same timing requesting me for additional documents and I tell them we will marry or had married... will it raise a red flag for them to think we get married just because of the inadequate cohabitation proof?

Hah, it's alright. I'm sure we all get a bit paranoid sometimes with our applications.

I honestly doubt it. I've seen many people get married in the middle of the application process with no issues. There are many legitimate reasons why a couple would decide to get married at any time.

Hi,

I just checked my mail box and I got a letter from CIC in Ottawa (Application Common Law Sponsorship).

I can not really believe it says : We have approved your application for permanent residence in Canada. We have issued a Confirmation od Permanent Residence (CoPR) document for you and any family member accompanying you to Canada.

SO THAT MEANS I GOT THE PR RIGHT? I just want to make sure Smiley I just send the application in the 4th of march to Mississauga and they send it to Ottawa (not I thought to Vienna because I am from Germany) .... so all just took 2 month ...wow I was so worried it would take over a year!

I am in Canada:
The letter says I have to go to a CIC office or to a Canadian border to do Port of Entry!

Can somebody tell me where I can find those offices or is it easier to go to the border?
What did you do?

That's it or do I have to do something else?
They did not ask for the passport? so everything will be done at the office or the border?

thanks for more information I would be really thankful!

Yes, Vienna got it and started processing it. :)
I got SA confirmation from CIC call center and a month and a half later I received email with the actual approval. :-X ;D
