Wow, congrats Perk. So happy for you. I hope CIC continues their fast pace because I know thousands of spouse/common law applicants have been waiting for so long, had sleepless nights, had anxieties, got depressed and sad, felt uncomfortable and other adverse effects of waiting for DM, AIP and landing, especially those like me (not working, not studying, just waiting at home)

To all : keep me posted on your updates so I can input in the our worksheet soon. thanks.

Did you apply inland right? Because only inland application have the implied status
Sorry about heard that but, if you apply inland you have inplied status.
Hope tomorrow you can clarify that with the lady you have to see

[lilizinha]

i dont know why said that , but did you renew your work permit when it finished march 2011!! as you should renew your work permit even if you are under implied status

Not really! when i talked to the cic on the phone to ask about restoration of  my status , the guy told me i didnt need ( cuz i had implied status, and i could wait till the decision is make), but i explain to him that  i could get medical if i have a visitors visa valid for 1 year. So he told me what to do.

concerning the medical card yes you are right, you just need any letter you have from CIC & copy of your passport then you can get the medical card after 6 months from your stay in canada.

but concerning the work permit: you need it to make extend for your stay even if you have implied status... i didn't know that before till one of police checked my ID then he told my that and thanks God i already had it

[lilizinha]

Sorry I think I missunderstood..
if you want keep working after the expire date you have to apply for extention.
And as far as I know you can get in big trouble if they catch you working without WP

"Maintaining legal status

Spouses and common‑law partners of Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Canada who wish to apply for permanent resident status are no longer required to have legal immigration status provided that they have an eligible sponsor. All other eligibility requirements continue to apply.

Important information. Applicants who wish to be able to continue to work and study in Canada must submit an application for extension before the work or study permit expires."


I took this from the CIC website. You do not need a visa to stay in Canada if your sponsorship INSIDE is in process, however, having a visitors visa will make your life easier as many people that work in other government sectors don't know about this. If you do not have a visa you can stay here, no problem, but you won't have any medical (in BC I don't have medical anyways) or if you want to take your drivers license they may not let you. I had a working visa but after sponsorship started I tried to renew it and was denied.  It varies from case to case.

If you want to take the safe route and get your visa (I did) by all means it won't harm you in any way. I personally prefer to have that piece of paper that say I'm allowed to stay.

I hope that helps.

I was also confused with how the "implied status" worked for ppl who applied inland under spouse/common-law sponsorship. But what I did, I applied for a visitor's visa before the expiry of my work permit. I also applied for a student's visa and restoration status (since I didn't receive the visitor's visa on time and I want to attend a bridging program), which they grant me after 5 months (along with the AIP) And lastly the open working permit, then the confirmation of my PR. 

I think it's very important to maintain your legal status while your PR application is on process so CIC immigration will not think that the sponsorship is your last resort in staying here. And that is just my opinion.
