So today I received my AIP via e-mail - and upon checking ECAS, both sponsor and applicant sections show decision made. Checking myCIC, my background check is still being processed. Would this mean that the next step is getting my inland landing interview info? About how long does the process take?

Hi everyone, I applied for common law sponsorship (inland) in early September. I'm the PA. My timeline of my application is in my signature, but I'm very confused where exactly I'm at in the application process - ECAS shows both my application as well as my sponsor's application as in progress...

So I have an open work permit that is valid until December of 2020. (Currently going through common-law sponsorship with my partner.) I was employed for a year on a different OWP until I lost my job (nothing related to my OWP expiring or anything like that, just a shortage of work), so I have...

So great news - my Open Work Permit for common-law sponsorship was approved as per the CIC website. However, I'm not actually certain how to go about getting the work permit - in the past I had to go to the border. Since I'm already in Canada, will this just be being mailed to me?

Very basic question and I don't know if it varies from case to case - for the OWP issued for family-class applicants living inside Canada, how long do they typically issue the work visa for? I've had two open work permits over the last two years, and each was issued for one year but they were...

So I just received my request for my medical exam today; I am applying inland in Canada and via common-law family class sponsorship. Obviously, I need to see if my medical results come back clear but assuming all is well, does the fact they're requesting a medical exam suggest a positive outcome...

So I mailed in all the necessary documents for a common-law sponsorship application back in early September. They received the package on September 5th and started processing my sponsor's part of the application on September 26th. The online application status tool states that his application is...

So my boyfriend is sponsoring me as his common law partner, and while the application doesn't ask for the Statuatory Declaration of Common Law Form, we decided to get one notarized anyways just to play on the safe side. We filled the form out at the Notary's office, and there is an area on the...

So IMM 0008 asks for a national identity document - I am a US Citizen. In the states I did not have a driver's license nor a state identification card, I just used my passport for just about everything and had no issues. Would a birth certificate work for this? Or would I just need to put down...

So under section 10, page 1 of IMM 0008, there is a section that asks for your current country of residence and details about it. They ask the dates from and to when you lived in the country. I have been living in Canada as a temporary worker from March 15th 2017 until present. (My work permit...

I am a tad bit confused about needing to declare family members. My common-law partner wishes to sponsor me, so would I need to include him in the Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) under spourse/common law partner? And when I read more into this on the CIC website, it says: You must...

Anyone think I'd have a problem only submitting one picture for my common law partnership if I have plenty of other proof that our relationship is genuine? I'm noticing my common-law partner checklist mention up to 20 pictures together with your partner, but quite frankly neither of us are...

Hello everyone, So I am a US citizen looking to immigrate to Canada as a common-law partner to my boyfriend. I came to Canada in mid March of 2017 under a temporary one-year open work permit (IEC class). I had reapplied for a second year in which I got approved, and just picked up my second...

Hello all, so I am an American who has been living in Canada for almost seven months now on a year-long open work permit that I got by applying for the International Experience Canada program. I had applied again a couple months ago and got approved for a second work permit for another year...
