    Spousal Sponsorship Tax - Option C requirement

    My husband is sponsoring me and somehow we (and our attorney!) missed this requirement in our application. Cic informed us of this 3 months after we applied. They then had to start the review process over, so it essentially delayed us 3 months. I would definitely keep checking on how best to...

    How long does it normally take to receive an answer from CIC after submitting the spouse sponsorship

    We sent our applications in July and didn't get an AOR until September. Have not had any update or request for anything additional. It sounds like yours is moving along which is great!

    Open work permit

    Resubmitted July 21, 2017 by mail by my lawyer. I am still within the processing time, but I would still like to be sure that they received the OWP and are processing it, since it isn't listed in their AOR email. Also wondering if there is any way to apply for a SIN before having the work...

    Open work permit

    Hi there, I am also wondering about my open work permit. I applied in-country along with spousal sponsorship. I've called CIC helpline and they can't find my PR or OWP applications via the automated option. Each time I call it say there are no available agents and it hangs up. Is there a trick...

    How long does it normally take to receive an answer from CIC after submitting the spouse sponsorship

    My app did get returned once but we got resubmitted 2 days before my visa was expired! Since the status is now that the app is received, do I have implied status? Thank you for your help!

    How long does it normally take to receive an answer from CIC after submitting the spouse sponsorship

    Is this correct? If so that scares me. My lawyer told me that once you apply for your PR (I'm in Canada being sponsored by my husband) it's okay to let your visitor's visa run out because it's "implied status." I'm worried he was wrong. Any clarification from folks would be great. Thank you!

    How long does it normally take to receive an answer from CIC after submitting the spouse sponsorship

    My applications were sent in July and I didn't receive an email that it was received until September. I am unable to find my work permit app at all online. I don't know if it's correct, but I am told you can't find out the status of your open work permit. Not sure what you should do in your...
