Well, hubby landed today without incident. It's over! When we applied the wait time was six months. It took 18 months! Plus the year we lived together as common-law = a long time! The system is very broken. I hope that they sort the issues out for all of you who have applied after us. The OWP...

Hi there! So, we got our DM yesterday and today we got our landing letter. Via email. Landing date is February 3rd! We're in Edmonton.

Wow. I'm speechless. It finally happened. Hubby just got DM. Such a long, frustrating journey and it's almost over. Right now I'm just in shock. Waiting for the elation to set in! We are July 26, 2013 applicants.

Hi, Sorry, got busy and had to step away. ACS, I do not know where the work permit application was sent, sorry. Hubby did it and he's not as thorough at keeping documents as I am. We did not apply with our application. I thought we had but turns out we didn't. It seems as though you will get...

I'm glad you asked, I meant to put that in my last message - we had to do a hard copy and snail mail it. It would not let us apply online. We phoned the call centre and they sent us the link to the correct form because that - like everything else with this process - was confusing. Getting the...

Hi! I might have some good news for you. We rec'd the first part of AIP on July 17 (sponsor approval) and we crossed our fingers and hubby applied for a work permit a day or two later. He received it a little over a month later - it is dated August 19 and is valid for two years. So, if you've...

Yup, just got off the phone with the call centre. This letter is the second part of stage 1 approval - AIP. Ha! I got the first part 4 months ago! They're certainly taking their sweet time. One. Painful. Step. At. A. Time. Oh well, I'm happy. As you say, it means they're working on our file...

Can someone please help? Is this second stage approval? It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final decision will not be made until all remaining...

Hi fellow inlanders, Hubby received his work permit today. That is after receiving first stage approval on July 17. At the time, there was some discussion around whether this was considered AIP, so I thought I would share this info. Here are the circumstances: -We both received emails from...

Congrats Yata520!!!

Hi Linden and Alurra71, Linden, that is the email I received. No offense but I sure hope allurra is correct! That would be easier. Either way, we're going to send the OWP app as well as the documents. It should work out. Just hoping it's quick! Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

Wow! They really put you through the ringer! I see it all happened quickly though, so that's good. About six weeks from doc request. Would you mind answering a few questions? -what docs did you send? -how did you send them? Snail mail or email? I see there is an email address but it isn't...

Argh! This whole process is so frustrating. I've been through so many ups and downs as well. Try to stay positive. It's all we can do!

So, hubby talked to an agent today to get the link to apply for OWP. The agent told him he thinks he will be refused because he was asked to send additional proof of our relationship. This isn't correct, is it? I was approved as sponsor and my understanding is that's all that is needed for...
