Hi Profiler, below is an excerpt from the letter they sent which makes me think it is just a formality now of getting my permanent residency, fingers crossed that is the case anyway This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada...

Hi Profiler. My online says Decision Made on it and the letter they sent asked me to bring my passport and work permit to the appointment when they send me the time and date of the appointment. I have heard that it usually takes them 1 or 2 weeks from that initial letter to send another one...

Long time off this thread and not going to read them all to catch up but update on my application is that I applied February 2016 and I just got a letter today saying that my application has been looked at and they sent another letter stating that the IRCC will be in contact to say when the...

Thanks. I figure it should be ok, had no problem coming back from the USA and I have my work permit and will take it with me when I go back to the UK. Usually they just look at my passport and work permit, ask maybe one or two questions usually just what items am I bringing back and their cost.

Quick question - I recently went to the USA for a 2 week holiday in LA and San Francisco (2nd - 16th Sept) with my spouse. I am now returning to England for a visit (have not been to the UK since I arrived in Canada 2nd Feb 2015) on 30th Sept - 12th October on my own. Do any of you think this...

I would not base your timeline on what the website shows. I rang CIC and they said spousal sponsorship applications that have an OWP do not relate to those dates on the website at all. OWP with a spousal sponsorship is 4 months waiting time max, some receive it maybe 1 month sooner, some a...

is your study permit still valid, i.e. what is the end date on it? I would imagine if the date is still valid then it should still be valid but personally I would contact CIC to confirm. If the date is not valid then I would imagine you need to get a new study permit but again double check with CIC.

You can however get a study permit should you have to do any kind of course for a job and they require a qualification where you have to go to college/university etc. You just need to apply to the college/school/university first, get accepted and then pay the $150 study permit fee and bob's your...

Thanks man. I will let you know what happens when we go to check out getting a mortgage. Hopefully we might have some luck but we shall see.

Random question, does anyone have a link to mortgages on this forum or know anything about applying when you have a spouse who is a canadian citizen and you (me in this case) are applying for PR status? We will probably be looking for a house soon and wonder if we will get slapped with the 35%...

Haha I am with you on the one buddy! Anything on the CIC website that says it is updated weekly is complete bull plop! They say they update every Tuesday on applications and I do not believe that for a second. Mainly because another part of their site says we update every Friday for the dates...

Well I have not been back to the UK since arriving in Canada since Feb 2015 so they police certificate I got for that will still be valid. It is great you can get it all online now, I think mine took maybe 2 weeks at most from application start to receiving it in the mail which was excellent...

Do any of you guys know how long a medical is valid for and police certificates as well? I sent my application in on Feb 3rd and it was received Feb 5th. I received AOR on 13th April and then my OWP on 3rd June (bang on the 4 month mark). Since then I have not heard a peep from CIC or my lawyer...

My lawyers advised me I would get implied status when my OWP application went in with the spousal sponsorship application. It might have something to do with the new pilot scheme they ran December 2014 to December 2015 and then decided to extend it. All I know was that my lawyers (who are an...

My bad mate, was under the assumption you were in Canada already and had been since 2012. Sucks with your situation and what happened back in 2014. I hope things improve soon for you and it goes smoothly from now on and hopefully quickly too. It is annoying it takes 4 months to get the OWP...

If you have been here since 2012 and applying for new work permits how come you have not gone into implied status whilst applying? Implied status means you can still work until your new work permit is issued or a decision is made on your case. My work permit expired in Feb 2016 and I was under...

I used a law firm to do the paperwork for me. I was not misguided or misled into believing they have special pull but I can see some people thinking that. I do regret using a law firm (mainly because they overcharged me $2,000 for bull**** reasons but hey ho you live and learn) but I must admit...

Thanks man ;D ;D ;D I am certainly grateful I have my OWP and take that as a good sign as well. Hopefully everyone else gets their OWP's soon. They did mine bang on 4 months so fingers crossed with them working through the backlog that time frame gets smaller and smaller for people

Hi everyone I am getting concerned now as everyone is talking about AOR 2 and I have only had the AOR 1. Application sent in 3rd Feb, received 5th Feb, 1st AOR on 13th April, OWP 3rd June and not heard a peep since. I am going to email my lawyers who are my representatives to see if they have...

What is the second AOR as I have only received the first AOR which was for my sponsor? My OWP was approved 3rd June so should I expect the 2nd AOR soon?
