My Canadian Partner who is sponsering me UK

[shoreline86]

Good afternoon,
I wonder if anyone can help me,
So little back story, My partner (Canadian) moved to the UK back in 2015, we met in the late year in 2015 and have been together since, in 2016 we moved in together and have been living together since then,

Now we want to move to canada together so she can be closer to family etc, we recently completed the application for common law partner etc and sent it to the processing center this week.

Has anyone else been in the same situation and know how long it takes to process the application?
we have sent everything including shared bills,bank statements, Tenancy agreements for 4 years photos etc etc.. you get my point.....

we would really like to move by end of the summer 2020 - Do you think this is possible? what are the next steps once the application process takes place? Like i said, if anyone has been in this situation and can help my nerves that would be great.

Best wishes from Brighton UK.

It can take up to twelve months for the sponsorship to process. Some people from outside Canada have been seeing faster processing lately.

There is a London thread floating around. I haven't looked at in a long while but they has a well maintained timeline spreadsheet.

If the app is doesn't done by end of summer, you can come to Canada as a visitor.

Hi Canuck, Oh hey, thats interesting! i will have to search for it!
If i come to Canada as a visitor while my application is being processed will this affect my application in any way? (i am sure this is asked alot)

Hello, I wonder if any can assist, I understand we have been in a pandemic and i am sure the visa offices have been closed, I just wanted to know if they are back open now? Has anyone had any progress? Applying for Common law Sponsership - Application was sent and recieved in 3rd February 2020 - Biometrics completed Feb 26th 2020 - Medical Passed on March 11th 2020 - Its been 3 months since I have heard anything, I would like to guess that my application will move to the UK office? if anyone knows if applications are still being processed it would be great to know.

Many thanks.

You'll probably get better responses if you post to the London thread and/or read through the discussions there.
