Hi I am another Scot hoping to immigrate to Canada. In Sept I am intending arriving in Canada to marry my Canadian girlfriend and apply within Canada for PR....
I believe she will have to sponsor you. I've been living with my boyfriend for almost two years now and I sponsored him as a common-law from within Canada....
Thanks for replying...yes my girlfriend will be sponsoring me...it's what to say to immigration on point of entry that I am concerned about..I believe in being...
Don't say anything, just say you are visiting with her for a few weeks. Ask them to stamp your passport to prove you are on a visitor's status. First time my...
I advise against taking this approach. You should never lie to immigration. Graham has already stated that he believes in being honest. That type of person...
Thanks folks for replying. I am going down the honest route, it is tempting to lie but if you get found out...well the party is over forever! We would like...
Well, we are unsure if they are valid for 6months or a year, but I am pretty sure that they only need to have been sent in by this time (ie they don't need to...
It might be helpful to have the PR application all filled out in draft. Then when you explain that you are planning to apply after your marriage, it will add...
Really? I wonder if it is because I got one from the Scottish local office, and then the national one was needed as I didn't actually live in England? Anyway,...
Hello Graham, I know it sounds strange to you, but don´t tell them that you intend to marry your girlfriend. Immigration might refuse you entry because they...
As you are coming in from UK, they´ll stamp your passport anyway..... ... _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps...
If advise is given, perhaps you should take it? You need to go to a lawyer in Canada to get your divorce recognised in Canada! This needs to be done before you...
Thanks to both of you for your information - Now I have another question. As I said in my first post, my girlfriend and I are seriously considering marriage -...
I'm pretty sure that getting a foreign divorced recognized is only necessary if someone is moving to Ontario. ... in ... ring, ... let ... few ... your ... the...
I'm confused about getting a divorced recognised in Canada. I did not do this and had no problem getting my marriage license. Is this for only UK divorces? ......
I also suggest getting your passport stamped because we we asked for proof of entry and that is your only proof if you are crossing the border. Have it stamp...
She cannot sponsor you as a fiancee as that category no longer exiosts. You are correct in that she cannot sponsor you until yyou are married, either that or...
Well if it was me I wouldn't do that route as it would take so long, you are talking a year for the status then about 6 months to process. You could leave...
No!! I'm sure that won't happen, it will only be because of the stupid system in UK, an English check is probably automatically a national one you know? It was...
Sounds correct - However, I did find this on a web site: http://www.victorialaw.com/pcommonlaw.html "With regards to a conjugal relationship, the one year...
Hmm, not trying to sound cynical, but I doubt it...I think that they would require a lengthier time if you apply as conjugal. I know several conjugal's on this...
It's only in Ontario that you have to get previous divorce papers approved before being issued a marriage license. It doesn't matter which country your divorce...
