wowwwwww, big congratulations to all people having the good news this week, such an amazing week during the long time.
So CIC didn't disappoint me
, they just forgot to update the date on the website, they are not slow down, hurray hurray!
I've checked the ecas like 40 times today!!! This is all it says:
We received your application for permanent residence on February 17, 2011.
We started processing your application on March 23, 2011.
I have a question: My mom didn't send an OWP application. When she gets the AIP will she be able to work or will she have to apply for one?
Thanks and congrats to all the people that got their AIPs!!!!!
She will have to wait until she gets PR approval (2 stages) and get SIN number to start working. If she doesn't get 2 stage approval at one time, she will need to wait for the 2nd stage approval (1 to 9 months).
hi guys its been a while since i posted.....i sent my application october 31st ...my husband got a letter in january stating that they have recieved our application ...and i recieved a letter with my application for work permit which was returned to me
because i for some reason didnt sent the 150 ...ooops lol ..they said i should resubmit my application with the fee...well thats all the updates on my journey so far ..oh and i tried logging in to check my application process and i was able to ..it says application recieved .another thing before i sent in my pr application i extended my stay and i also recieved my visitor record in december ...
ps: do i need to wait until they request my medical or should i just do it ..i didnt send it with my application
You should do the medical check now since it will take at least 4 to 5 weeks to be at CIC office. You also should send the receipt in separate mail to CIC office and ask them to attach with your app.
Hi everyone.
I'm new to this canadavisa forum and I saw this topic started by Missha. Very interesting board and people are so helpful to reply and to share their experiences about Inland applications.
Im in the same boat. We sent our application for inland sponsorship- spouse category last January 2012 only (very recent). Courier receipt signed by CIC on January 25, 2012 only. I know I have a long waiting to go. Anyway, just some questions to all members:
1. Will CIC send me any mail to acknowledge that they have received my application package?
Where and when and how will I get a client number?
2. When should I start registering for ECAS? Should my husband (who is my sponsor) also register separately under ECAS?
3. I'm confused because some say they have AIP initially, then some say they have both AIP and final approval simultaneously. I checked the CIC website for processing times for PR under Spouse Sponsored Inland Category. it says there that there is a 13 month waiting for Stage 1 AIP, then there is another 9 months for final decision after. My question is : Under what situations does a person get AIP and Final Decision simultaneously (I mean, in a single notification). By the way, I applied as spouse, I dont have any dependents or any children. Basically it's just me. My sponsor is my husband (a Canada-born citizen).
4. One more question. I did not include an Open Work Permit application when I submitted my PR application last January 2012. But I definitely want to work as soon as I am eligible to apply for an OWP. But now, can I still remedy this problem? I mean, can I still send an additional OWP application now?
Would greatly appreciate all relevant answers to my query. I'm new to Canada. And my parents both passed away recently. I'm not working because I don't have work permit. This is a very depressing situation but I try to be strong and patiently wait.
Thank you and God bless everyone.
I think someone opened a thread for 2012 applicants, you can check it out and join there with them too.
1. Client ID:
CIC will send the sponsor an email to state that they receive your app. (around 2 to 3 months after the date your app. was sent)
In that email, your sponsor will be given her/his client ID if he/she never had it before.
If you are the applicant and you visit Canada under any category legally, you're supposed to have client ID on those papers (visitor permit, work permit, study permit). Client ID is 8 digit number separated by - in the middle.
If by any reason you are the applicant and you still don't have client ID, you can wait until CIC starts processing your application and call them to get one.
2. eCAS:
If you're talking about registering eCas update notification from Matthew's website, u can register anytime you want. That's his own website, just a utility to help us out, not an official tool from CIC.
If you're talking about eCas on CIC official website, you don't need to register anything. Just wait and check it out regularly to see the update.
3. 2 stage approval
There is no official clue for this. However, as the experience from thread 2010 and this one, people who are in straight forward cases usually can get 2 stage approval (not always).
(straight forward cases will have one or all of these features: no dependents, is working legally, working as caregivers)
4. Work permit
Yes you still can send OWP app now, send to the same address you sent your PR app. and tell them to attach to your app. and process OWP app. after AIP only. Remember to attach the receipt for OWP fee too.
