Change of Status after applying for Spouse sponsorship.

[chinthu3k]

Hi,

I got laid off from my job a day  after I applied for spouse visa.  Currently I reside in Quebec. I meet the minimum income requirements needed to sponsor the visa.

Since , the application has not been  received yet at the immigration office what are my options.

Secondly, I intend to move to where my new job takes me. If that means moving out of Quebec, what do I have to do in terms for letting the Immigration office know.

Thanks.

Nothing just keep looking for a new job and you will hopefully find it soon. You cannot go on social assistance but can apply for Employment Insurance.

Just update them with your new address online on E-CAS  case status system and they will advise you if they need anything else from you.

Thank you humpakwatan.

I am pretty confident I will find a job soon. Although it might not be in the province of Quebec.do I have to wait until they start processing my application to let them know of change of status Since there is a difference in procedure for Quebec applicants and Ontario?

My understanding is it takes CIC on average of 52 days to start processing a new file. Since, my file is not under process yet I am unable to change my address via E-CAS.
