Inland Application 2011

[CrazyLucy]

Well, a sponsor does have an obligation to convince CIC that your maintenance will not become a social burden (that's why the sponsor must sign the undertaking - but an undertaking is pointless if your sponsor can't pay it back should you require social assistance).  With that said, EI payments do not constitute social assistance, but it would seem the officer had some concerns about your sponsor's ability to meet this requirement.  Of course "look closely" doesn't mean "no" it just means "check into this to make sure there isn't an issue." If your sponsor is now employed, I'd make sure to point this out at the time you apply to renew visitor's status.

Good luck!

They have since given me my work permit. When they made that note it was for a previous visitor's visa, so I assume I satisfied the next IO of my funds. I am going to have to renew my work permit in November, which shouldnt have an issue because I now have my own income.

Here's my timeline:

November 2010 - received application
December 2010 - started processing of papers
October 2011 - sponsorship approved / applied for open work permit
December 2011 - open work permit received
July 2012 - received confirmation letter saying processing of papers is already completed

Now, I'm still waiting for my local immigration office to contact me so I can book an appointment to pay for the landing fee, they said within 8 weeks from July 4th, hopefully sooner because I just can't wait to see my daughter (she's also included in the application but she's in the Philippines still).

By the way, does anybody know what happens next after I pay the landing fee, do I just wait for my PR card or is there any other more things that has to be done before the visas will be issued?

So pano daw ba yun, babayad lang ng landing fee tapos hintay na lang ng PR card? Kasama din kasi sa application namin daughter ko so dalawa hinihintay ko, pr ko saka iissue visa niya. Sabi nila once bayad na sasabihan nila manila office na pwede na iissue visa.

Sabi din sakin within 8 weeks kaya sana wag na umabot ng 8 weeks, gusto ko na makauwi ulit satin eh nakakamiss.

I think Ontario is the only province that makes you wait 3 months from AIP to get your health card.

No, all provinces have this waiting period. I live in QC and here is three months too. The lady who helped asked me when I arrived and I said a year ago, so she looked at my passport and that was the day she entered. I know Canadian citizen born outside Canada who just arrived and went to get her health care card, and they gave her a letter saying she will receive it in 3 months due to the waiting period... lol this is crazy!

Gusto ko lang naman sana eh malaman kung gaano pa katagal bago maissue visa ng daughter pati na rin yung akin para makapagplano na ng mga dapat gawin. Mahal din ng pamasahe eh. Tapos may baby din ako dito hindi ko man maplano bday at binyag niya kasi hindi ko alam kung kelan ko din makukuha other daughter ko sa pinas.
