Advice regarding sending out inland application close to status deadline

[jorgus1710]

hey all, id like to consult you guys on what steps i should take in the event that my inland application happens to be returned shortly before (or after) my wife's visitor status expires on the 10th of february.

We should have the application package sent out very soon, and as far as im concerned i understand that if the application package for my wife happens to return before february 10th, one of my options is to file an ROS which can be done upto 90 days after status expiration. During which time, while waiting for the decision for the ROS, can i resend the inland application? Or should i wait untill the ROS is accepted, and then send out my inland app? And If that were the case would i be able to resend the application after that much time without repaying the entire fee?

Does anyone know how long after sending out the inland application + Open work permit before the implied status kicks in? Im wondering if ill be waiting longer than february 10th for an answer from CIC (returned or processing), and id like to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

anyways, If anyone can give me a general rundown of how i can go about this scenaio, id really appreciate it. anything and everything helps

many thanks

If you are this concerned about it, the best bet is to simply apply for an extension before her current status runs out.

If you send both the PR app and OWP app now, and hear nothing by the end of January or so, apply online with the "change conditions or extend stay".

Just take your time and look over the application several times to make sure there are no errors.

Make sure all documents are included or noted if they are coming at a later date.

Make sure everything is signed.

Look at dates on every IMM and make sure they match the current versions on the CIC site.

If you put a residential address different from your home address (for the applicant) make sure you've filled out the Use of a Representative form.

Don't leave anything blank, even on the checklists. Put N/A on it instead.

1. Send the Inland application and OWP ASAP, after triple checking EVERYTHING.

2. Within a couple of days of her status expiring, submit a visitor extension online. This will give her another form of implied status, if for some reason the Inland application and/or OWP is returned.

3. Celebrate when her OWP arrives.


You're focusing way too much on the possibility of having to submit the ROS application IF something goes wrong. A much better plan is to avoid having to even consider the ROS, by submitting the visitor extension, ~ February 8, 2016, if you're concerned about something being returned.
