Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. My partner has been in Canada for a number of years and we're in the final steps of the Permanent Resident status. We're told it's pending. We've read all the warnings about travel before hand however....we found this on the CIC website regarding...

Thanks again for everything. We sent in the sponsorship information and the post office says it was delivered last week. I know that since his work visa runs out in a week or two others on this board said he would still be in implied status. How do we communicate that to his employer since we...

Once someone enters Implied status for work..while waiting for permit/sponsorship "first phase" approval...does one have to somehow prove this to a current employer. We worry they will simply say "your permit is up. you have to leave the company." We can say "Oh it's implied...but anyone could...

All right again thanks. Oh, we also have heard we: 1. do not have to wait for the criminal background check and that it will be requested or we send later? 2. If and when we get that initial preliminary authorization of sponsorship...are we still trapped in the country and unable to go on...

Oh okay that's fine. :) So we might as well do the application itself on the computer and print off?...rather than with other applications on their site...which you can submit digitally and directly to them?

And this just came up. With the need to provide emails/photos etc., I'm assuming submitting the sponsorship electronically is beyond their system? Would suggest doing this the paper route..this way we can organize all the photos, emails etc? Can we send in a FOB? The stick memory cards?

Finally one last question I hope! His SIN (Social Insurance Number) expires on the same day his work permit does. If we file the sponsorship before his permit expires along with the Open Work Permit application (stating it is in regards to the sponsorship) does his SIN remain active for work...

Thank you so much for the information. We're just doing city hall with some close friends...so it's not a lot to plan! This forum has been great at solving this quickly. The CIC site is just some sort of Byzantine nightmare. ;) It's not their fault...just the system - it is so layered from...

His work permit still has two months on it...end of June! :) Does this mean we can send in sponsorship items and he changes to implied work permit and can keep working? We tried to get extension on work permit...but the LMO bit! Will this come up again when we send work permit extension...or...

Thanks again for the information. That's good to hear. We intended to marry last year but put it off. One last question on your prior comment. So, one can submit a work permit at the same time we send the sponsorship document? I assume there is somewhere in the work permit that we check off or...

Thank you for your reply....it's nice to get some help in such a complex situation! This is the bad part. We've been dating for 4-5 years, live in the same city and were waiting until I could buy a larger condo before getting married and moving in. SO...sadly his visa is running out in three...

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years. He went to school here got a degree and is working for the last two years but not in a highly skilled area. His request to extend his work visa was rejected as his company doesn't do LMO's....I don't know why...apparently they take all of...
