Updated! I've just put Buckinghamshire as your location... if you want to provide a more accurate one then let me know and I'll put it in, else i'll just leave it.

Yes, you do need one. Your husband won't be a PR when he flies and first lands in Canada, so he'll need the eTA. After this trip though he'll be a PR and won't need it.

Thanks again! and still if anyone knows do we require the MIDI (is this the sames as CSQ?) to be approved before my the Sponsor can be approved?

Hello beautiful people.

I have great news to share.
Decision was made on 1 December.
COPR arrived on 14 December.

Apologize for the Delay, been so busy with excitement and work life.

We will be flying back home at the end of this Monday.

I would like to thank everyone for all their support, without this forum I would have been lost.

Thank you all.
Sam

Happy New Year!!
Finally back in the UK, we got our COPR dated January 5th. Need to get the house on the market now, my partner will be landing before March 25th (when his medical expires). I AM SO EXCITED (apologise for yelling haha)

Please update my time line, in process on the 25 Nov 2015.
I would love to get my decision made before 2ed Feb so I can land me and the family, as we are going out to buy a house. � ����

Just landed! Driving across from was a very easy experience, I was the only person in immigration at the peace bridge.

Hi, we are filling application and for now we are putting Edmonton down as city we want to go to but what if that changes? Can we move anywhere or we are tied to Edmonton?

Do I have to stay in city that I will land/picked in application for minimum period of time or can move anywhere?


If we are married only for 6 months and together for 3 years (living together for more than 2,5 year though) will I get still only conditional PR?

CIC has introduced amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (the Regulations) which specify that spouses, common-law or conjugal partners who are in a relationship with their sponsor for two years or less and have no children in common with their sponsor at the time of the sponsorship application are subject to a period of conditional permanent residence. IMHO this won't apply to you.
If entering as a PR under Spousal Sponsorship you can live anywhere in Canada once landed.

It's just for statistic gathering purposes, you can move anywhere you like.

Yes.

HTH.

Thanks a lot, it is very confusing for me - read that before on CIC website but unsure if to get unconditional we would need to be married for 2 years at least (applying as spousal of course) or just generally in relationship / living together for 2 years

Not sure what I would do without this forum, probably would fill it all wrong





Cannot decide between Edmonton/Calgary/Vancouver so glad I am not tied to location I will put in, I suppose we will decide while on our honeymoon in July! Super excited!

It will apply to the OP, see below from the manual (Operational Bulletin 480 (Modified) – November 16, 2015) -

"Condition applies if the couple does not have any children in common and
has been married for two years or less;

dated for four years, but has been married for two years or less;

has been in a conjugal relationship for two years or less;

has cohabited in a common-law Footnote 1 relationship for two years or less; or

has been in a common-law or conjugal relationship for more than two years and has been married for less than two years, and the person submitted an application as a spouse."

So bizarrely, if the OP had applied prior to marriage as a common-law spouse, it wouldn't have applied, but now they've got married it does. Go figure!

HTH.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to things like this.

Crayon

Does not make sense to me as we cohabited for over 2 years :/

Doesn't matter really as we will live together there too only thing I am worried about is that we cannot go on any trips separate and if we would have to then I would worry too much my PR would be taken back or wow thing

Former Lancastrian

While the Regulations require a “continuous” period of two years of cohabitation, from time to time, one or the other partner may leave the home for work or business travel or family obligations. CIC officers should follow existing guidelines when assessing a period of cohabitation where temporary or short separations have occurred. See OP 2, Section 5.35 for more information.

Unless thinking of going on a 6 month trip separately I would worry too much about this.

All updated!
