Inland Application 2011

[Berber_amazigh]

hi all, we send our application on feb 24, 2011. We just received our first letter from the Imm office yesterday. However, I did not send an work permit application togehter with my PR application. The letter we recieved did not say I can apply for a work permit now. I am wondering if I am eligible to apply for a work permit now and how should I apply it? Is there anyone can help? Thanks

It is very easy as you already have your AIP.just download the form from CIC website, fill it out and send it and make sure you mention that you already have AIP.
Good luck!

What does your letter say? The first stage letter does tell you to apply for a work permit.

Were you perhaps approved for both stages at once?

If you had study or work permit before, you can apply online, if not, you have to fill the normal work permit application documentation and send the asked document. (There is a question in the application for PR applicants about first stage approved or not. (that`s why the permit open)

[hakri]

Yes, you're eligible. It takes less 1 month.

It takes 16 days if you apply online.

Hi everyone,
I was around for quite long but just reading everyone post mainly since i don't have any important thing to share.
However, today I decide to log in and share something that may help other people.I don't think you need to waste money to redo your medical and apply for work permit because CIC seems to process the paperwork faster now.
My medical was done in Aug 2010 so it supposed to expire in Aug 2011 and I was approved yesterday for second phase without redo it.
Now I send my application in March 8, 2011. They received in March 10, 2011. They said the start processing it in April 11, 2011. I called on Valentine day Feb 14, 2012 and one lady told me to call back in 7 weeks because they won't be doing my file until then. However on Saturday Feb 18, I got updated on e-case (funny date right I thought they updated on Tuesday only) that fdecision was made. So Monday Feb 20 ( I know it is holiday) but we called CIC to check whether or not the decision was an approval or refuse and they told us it was an approval for first phase. We received the letter for my husband (the sponsor) today so I called them CIC (again) to see if they send me one for AIP because we didn't see it in the mail and want to apply for OWP. Plus there was a question online in the OWP about medical so I want to know if I need to redo it or not. And LUCKILY, the told use I was approval for second phase yesterday Feb 23 and they sent me a letter yesterday so don't worry about OWP because I will be PR soon.
We didn't want to send OWP permit because we applied outland before in Aug 2010 and was refused in Dec 2010 but everything seems fine now. So good luck to everyone and hope my information is helpful.

congratulations blacknoon!

Just want to be sure if I understand you correctly:

You sent outland application in Aug 2010, and sent inland application in Mar 2011. When you submitted your inland application, you didn't redo your medical?

BTW, I forgot to say my e-case was not updated for second phase decision yet. It still saying in process. I got the news from the agent when I called CIC. They didn't want to let me know when I asked about the letter decision on the first phase (why my husband get one and I didn't when everyone said I should get one and he should get one for AIP). But he helps out when I tell him I need to know whether or not I can apply for OPW now and whether I need to do my medical for my OWP. He ends up pull out my file and surprised to let me know that I was approved for the second phase yesterday. I was EXTREMELY polite, sweet, and patience when talking to him so I guess it is the reason he decides to helps out later. So be careful when you talk to them. And don't beat around, just get to the questions and make sure you have all your information that they can ask about in front of you. Don't use SPEAKER phone when talking to the agent because they don't seem to like it. I was asked to turn it off when I called them before on Feb 20 because my husband and I both want to hear what they said. But they asks us to turn it off and talk to us separately.

iamxiaogua,

I didn't redo my medical, just get the new form for inland and asked my doctor to sign it again. He did so and up to now, no trouble with medical. I was tempted to redo my medical but scare that they would rejects my application again and it would be waste of money if we has to go to interview or appeal stuff. Even our lawyer said we maybe interview because they may question our relationship.

If the decision was not accepted, my husband and I would fight to the end but we are not the type who would go for refugee (no offense to anyone so please don't judge or get angry). I may end up applied for skilled worker like my husband but anyway, the decision was approval so we are glad.

By the way we will be seeing the Etobiko office. Do you know if they will give us an appointment or we need to call them and set up an appointment? I don't have a letter in hand yet so I am REALLY curious and want to know what to expect next.

Maybe the set of photos you submitted with your application is enough... I read here that you should not touch your photo with any of your finger. You really can see the finger mark on a photo when you touch it... . They might have rejected some of the applicants photos thats why their asking for another set photos to some applicants during interview,, Just my two cents... Congrats !!!
