That's what I thought. Thank you. :-)

So I finally have my interview scheduled for next Monday! Yay! On the list of things to bring, it says I need 2 photos. Is that only for me as the applicant, or does my spouse who sponsored me also need photos? Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm American, and my husband is Canadian. We are currently in Canada under the spousal sponsorship program but are considering moving to the US due to the poor job market in our current location and me really missing my family and friends. I have found this forum very helpful as I worked on my...

RRO, you should join the 2016 inland applicants forum. There is a lot of helpful information here. - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-inland-applications-2016-timeline-and-updates-t389295.0.html

I just did this a few months ago. You can forward mail from the U.S. to Canada, but you have to go to a U.S. post office to do it. You can't do it online. It is free.

Thanks, Ringlands! When you get yours, please share what you find out.

Ya, I understand that part. I just didn't submit my medical yet, and according to CIC website that disqualifies me from working in some medical and educational fields. However, my work permit says nothing about it, so I'm free and clear!?

I got my OWP in the mail today! Happy day! Anyone have experience with this? I haven't sent in my medical yet, and I read online that means I can't work in medical or certain educational areas. However, the only listed conditions on my actual work permit are that I can't attend school and I...

See the response I just posted to Canadian Alien. ;-) In calling CIC, they said the processing date is counted from May 25th to now, so it took about 90 days. Yes, PR inland app is in ON, and OWP is in AB since I sent them separately.

I did call CIC a month ago, and they said that my timeline for the OWP is based on the May 25th date. They said it should be processed within 110 days of May 25th which is around the 1st week of September. I figured it would either come by the 1st week of September or not until 4 months (near...

I just got notice in MyCIC that my work permit has been approved! I applied May 25th, and I had sent it to Vegreville separately from my PR application which was sent in at the end of March 2016. Overjoyed! :D Now to start applying on jobs...

Enter the information on the "New Entry and Update" tab on the spreadsheet. Then someone will enter it on the main page for you.

I have received SA, and online it still shows In Process for that section. In fact, nothing has been updated lately, but we got letters via email stating that my husband has met all the requirements for sponsorship.

I was able to link my OWP today in my online CIC account. That is good news since my sponsorship and PR application was sent in March 29, 2016, and I didn't send my OWP application until May 25, 2016. Since I sent my OWP app in only 2 months ago, I thought it would be quite a bit longer 'til I...

Congratulations!

Thank you! I submitted my residence fee up front but have not completed the medical yet.

My husband got a letter today stating "you have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent Residence (APR) for your relative will be processed separately and he/she will be contacted shortly." I'm assuming that is our sponsorship approval, so yay!!! I...

Yes, I understand the risk.

Thank you. That's wonderful. So good to know. At the beginning of this process, I told my friends and family I wouldn't be able to visit for at least 2 years. I'm so glad that is not actually the case. :)
