I would call MSP and explain your situation. My wife has a multiple entrance VISA, meaning every time she entered the country she was given implied status for 6 months. We applied successfully for MSP, after she had only been 'in canada' for about 8 months. During that 8 months, she had left the...

The reason for this, is that call centre agents only have access to the same general information that we do via the CIC site. When I got my AIP a couple of weeks ago, I told an agent and she was totally shocked, because the information from the CIC site still said April 30th, and that's the only...

That always happens - easiest way I've found to get a hold of them - call the number, as soon as the voice comes on, press 0 four times. Then they'll tell you that you've made several wrong entries, and that they are transferring you to an agent - press 0 again at this point to skip the message...

Re: Thread for outland Buffalo applicants! Excellent, that clears up a lot of confusion for me - thank you very much. She doesn't have any fingerprints taken, so she'll have to look into doing that first, but at least I know where to start!

Re: Thread for outland Buffalo applicants! thank you for the prompt and detailed response! From the CIC site, for the 'Informe de Datos Registrales', it says she needs to submit fingerprints, pictures, and a letter quoting our client ID and some other information. Am I right in understanding...

Hey everyone, Looking for some advice - i've been posting in the 'inland 2011' thread, but here may be more appropriate. I tried searching through some old threads, but am still confused :o I'm a Canadian, sponsored my wife who is a Mexican, inland. We received our AIP and OWP last week, with...

You don't honestly expect people to read through 316 pages of a thread for a specific answer to a simple question, do you?

You can send your OWP in after you send your application - you need to write a letter of direction, including your names, client #s, the OWP app and payment receipt, and a request that they attach it to your application. Also, include a reason why you didn't include with the original app (we...

That means that you should get your stage 1 answer in the next couple of weeks. As of this week, applications that were received in the first week of August are being processed, meaning you're almost there :)

Thanks Johanna!

just spoke with a CIC agent - they advised me that my 'Decision Made', is Approved in Principle!!! :)

Re: August Applicants!!! We are on!!! Thanks :) Unfortunately, we didn't send the medical/criminal checks, so stage 2 will take a while for us. We did send in the OWP app - assuming we're approved, I should be the OWP soon, and now my status is AIP, is that right?

Re: August Applicants!!! We are on!!! i spoke too soon - just checked my Ecas - We received your application to sponsor on August 5, 2011. We started processing your application on September 27, 2011. We sent you a letter on June 21, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please...

Re: August Applicants!!! We are on!!! Congratulations! I applied August 5th - Hopefully I'll hear this week!!

Nevermind, just saw your first post - July 29th! Woot! I'm August 5th, almost there :)
