    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Just came back from my landing interview. The officer only asked me the regular questions (crimes, denying of entry, etc.). No questions to my wife. It took no more than 5 minutes. Had my new SIN number done afterwards, and now it's just waiting for the PR card. Good luck everyone and thank you...

    Thanks! I think your current status is consistent with your application date, mine was like that for a while before the BGC started. Good luck, and hopefully everything will go smoothly.

    No, it still shows "We are processing your background check."

    My eCAS and my wife's show DM on both sides, but no updates on MyCIC/GCKey. Someone else's gone through it?

    My background check started sometime back in March, I never got an email update. Before it started, it showed Not Applicable, and now it shows "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

    If you have any ticket or whatever proof showing you re-entered the country on a given date, it will act as a passport stamp.

    If the letters are not in English, you will need to have them translated by a sworn translator and you shall include the original translation and a certified copy of the original. If they are in English, send just a regular copy, no need to notarize it. It's better if all the letters are...

    From: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=206&top=17 Should I apply for an eTA or a visa when I apply for a work permit? No. Depending on your citizenship, you may need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a visitor visa, as well as a work permit. Your eTA or visa...

    I don't think so. Brazil is not visa-exempt and I got an eTA. I have a 10 year visitor visa, though, and my OWP was granted while I was still on status.

    When they granted your OWP they probably also granted you an eTA. Check on your GCKey account. The eTA is an electronic visa, i.e. not stamped in your passport but electronically linked to it. When you're travelling, though, it's advisable that you take with you, beside your passport, your Open...

    Mine came just with the restrictions 2. and 3. I wonder if it's why I sent the police certificates and schedule A upfront?
