Apologies is this has been asked a million times, but I think I have read everything so many times I have information overload

1. Who do we need to supply pictures for?
2. As I am living and working in the UK, do I need to supply a letter from employer? I know I don't have to supply an option c printout...

If there is any more information, or things that people found confusing that might assist me - that would be fantastic?

To be added to the spreadsheet shortly

I'm fairly new to this forum but we used pictures as proof our relationship. It said supply 8 on the immigration checklist I think but we sent off over 35 with a little explanation on the back stating the date, location of the picture.

Whatever they asked for, we supplied that and more. My partner and I both thought well maybe having too much is better than having not enough and the application getting refused.

We never got a letter from her employer instead used wage slips and an end of year p60 and also proof of funds that she has in Canada. It wasn't in the guidelines but we provided a financial plan and a plan of action for when we first land. It could be irrelevant but yet again we thought more is better than not enough.

Best of luck!

Anyways, you can log in with both details but be aware it might take a little while longer for your details to be uploaded on the system for you to check. If you use yours, you can only the permanent resident status. If you use your sponsors details, you can see both the first stage sponsorship status and PR status. Make sure you use England not UK as country of birth for you details. UCI worked for me.

do i now have to wait 28 days from that date to hear back about the sponsorship being approved?

I think 28 days is the average. A lot of people have heard back quicker than that, some have taken longer. Your sponsor will receive an email upon a decision being made as to whether they have been approved or not.

What conditional permanent residence means for you
If you have been granted conditional permanent residence, you must live together with your sponsor in a legitimate relationship for two years from the day you receive conditional permanent residence. The condition ends after the two-year period. (From here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resourc...ponsorship.asp)


If my Canadian wife and I land and activate my pr in, say January, and then return to the uk because we both currently work here, then my wife gets a job in canada that starts in march, but I want to stay on in the uk for a few more weeks until I wrap things up here and see out my notice, is that ok? Does that violate the living together part of the condition mentioned above?
