Inland Application 2011

[Cangaceiro]

Hello guys! Long time i dont post here! Congratulations for who got good news!! I Decided take a break of the forum and keep my mind busy with other things, I was so frustrated after i had my process transferred to Vancouver on december 09, (I received a letter saying this). Since that no news until last week! i've been keeping calling them and asking why my process is in Vanvouver (I live in Etobicoke), and they said: i's there to clear the backlogs! nothing is wrong! but like a said, last week i noticed on my Ecas they updated my information! before was there: the process was tranfered to LOCAL CIC, and now means process was tranfered to ETOBICOKE!?!? so i called CIC and asked Finally whats going on with my application, and they said last week my file was transfered to Etobicoke! and i asked if my process was at Vancouver by mistake? and they said: Not for mistake, theres a reason for that happens! This and that, so now my process is here (Etobicoke) and i'm more confused and frustrated. I ordered my foss in January and still waiting! The worse thing is nothing we can do, just wait, only God knows until when!

My husband is going through the same thing and we do not have to apply for any deferrals. We were told that from this point on since we are so far along in the process...the PRRA and the sponsporship application will be processed within similar time frames to allow for a decision on the sponsorship application. We are neck to neck with both applications. The worry would have come about had the PRRA decison been made way before any major progress had been made on the sponsorship application. At that point, we would have been given a removal date and at that point would have to try and defer like Canada1984.

This is not the case for everybody.  They are not required to give both decisions at the same time.  It is at the officers discretion.  Our application was filed on April 8th and a decision just around the corner on the spousal sponsorship and we had to fight for her to stay to see a decision on the Spousal Sponsorship.  Niagara Falls is where my wife was given the PRRA application and at that moment she told us that my wife would not be able to stay even though her application was received far before the PRRA date.  My wife's father had his case in Toronto and since her case was attached to his we were called in to Toronto.  We were lucky that we were able to ask for a deferral to the Toronto office instead of Niagara from what I hear.  It is very unfair but Niagara Falls is known to be very strict against Refugee Claimants.

I was not very clear on the last post.  When I say that her case was tied to her fathers, I was speaking of her Refugee Case.  For this reason, the removal officer in charge of my wife was in Toronto rather than Niagara where the PRRA was given to her.

Ok..guess it depends on where u filed ur case.

It is the officers discretion.  For some reason the officer must have believed our marriage was of convenience.  Her attitude was poor from the moment we went in.  Right when we got to the window she told us that she's not staying without us even mentioning the sponsorship, she already knew and was quick to tell us it wasn't going to work.  Must have been having a bad day.

Thanks Gemauru. I remember the beginning how hard the wait was.

I hope we get the landing letter soon but I heard Scarborough is at least a 1 month wait to get the letter.
We will see.

Have you guys gone to service ontario yet for the sin or ohip?

Congrats Angtao

For SIN you go to Service Canada
For OHIP you go to Service Ontario

Glad everyone is finally getting good news.

To those of you who applied for OHIP already- do you still have the 3 month waiting period even though your were living in Ontario already, or did you get your temporary "card" right away?

Oh wow..well important thing is that it all worked out for you. Now you and wife just have to wait on AIP!

[sievo]

With AIP, you can go and get the SIN with a 9... good enough to work... with PR she exchange it.

To be clear, I'm assuming you still need the OWP to work legally until you have PR.  Otherwise no one would need to aply for OWP.

today is wednesday again
i m looking forward the BIG BIG JUMP on the cic website

[Berber_amazigh]

Berber, do you need to send in an fbi clearance? Have you lived in the USA for longer then 6 months after the age of 18 yrs old?

We included fingerprints in my husbands application even though some people did not submit them. We also got a polcie clearance from Ottawa.

Greyghost, congrats to you and happy b-day to your wife.

Karma, I agree with Gemauru. Make sure they ask you all these security questions and then have them look at your file. Forget what the agent said to call at the end of March. That is bull*censored word*.

el venezolano, I personally would not travel until you have the PR card in your hand. It is not worth the risk of starting this process all over again of you are not allowed back in to Canada.

missha, I hope you are feeling better. Can't wait to see the chart all filled out:)

No never lived in the state but do you think i will not need finger prints because i did not find in the cic list for the application please tell me if i have to send them or not!?
Thanks a lot

You have the 3 month waiting period from the date you got AIP.
Our letter was sent 26 Feb, we went to serv ont 5 March... coverage starts 26 May.

[johanna125]

Quick question:

1. After sending your PR application, how many months does it take for CIC to send a sponsor acknowledgment letter? Is is 11-12 months?

2. After you do your medicals in a DMP, how long does it take for results to be available to Ottawa doctors of CPC. Thanks.

Thanks!

Well you got it partially...the coverage begins 3 months later after you apply. However emergencies like accidents and if you are a woman all pregnancy and related its checkups including labor are covered right away upon applying.

For sure, if you read the whole post we talk about OWP / SIN / OHIP...

I just made reference to the "nbr 9 SIN" as "good enough to work" because for some other stuff... is not so welcome.
