INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

[Victorswife]

I believe so. I too am going to UBC this winter. I am just waiting for my landing date because I don't have an outstanding study permit. DM was issued April 9 but until now. No news yet. Even contacted MP today, no response yet.

I am very worried.

I suggest to call and go there in person. BEFORE SUMMER HOLIDAYS!

Great to see six people got DM this week: I have a feeling next two weeks we will see a bunch more of DM's!

Not only DM's but also AIPs too.

BTW; where are you living now and what country are you coming from?

I sure hope you're right! I've been so depressed this week that I feel sick. A lot of that is missing my husband, but no AIP for eight months isn't helping AT ALL.

For those waiting landing appointment in Vancouver I had called 3 times and always got the same answer , have to wait 3 months so mine will be July 16th :'( sadly looks like Vancouver is the busiest office hope they were wrong and I don't have to wait 3 more weeks.

I hope somebody can help me about this situation..

Background : 2010 applicant under spousal sponsorship with dependent in Philippines.
2011-vegreville transferred file to edmonton without aip and owp. Processing time in edmonton is 24 months (i dOn't know if this us just 1st stage or the whole process itself) we are on our 19th month of waiting.

Current status: aporoved LMO NOC B.. Submitted work permit application for SUPERVISORY POSITION.

Now, when I receive my work permit as a skilled worker i will try to apply for a student permit for my 12 year old son in the Philippines. I don't know if this is possible but since i have this option as a skilled worker I will still try. It's been 3 years since i've last seen my son. Sad i don't know when will Edmonton office open our file again Sad this is my only hope.

What is ur opinion about this? Pros and cons? Is dual intent applicable to this situation? What should I do?

It's true, called them too because I got DM April 9, a week ahead from you but I don't have anything. My OWP is expiring July 13 that's why I was hoping to land earlier but nothing yet. They told me to call July 10 if I don't receive anything yet, because they send them a message.

As for the moment, I will send in an extension application to CIC so I won't loose my status here.

Dual intent is applicable in such a case, but of course they may decide your son is not likely to leave at the end of the study permit. In that case (a refusal), you could request a TRP on H&C grounds to overcome their finding of inadmissibility - it's not guaranteed, but as you point out the extended delay in processing your application (3 years and counting) is not your fault and it is not good for your child, either.

If you have a NOC B LMO, have you considered applying for AEO FSW track? Or maybe even PNP track? If you qualify, those are both independent of spousal and do not require that you do anything with your spousal application.

Thank you for your response. I can't apply for FSW/PNP yet because the requirement is to have atleast 1 year work experience under the supervisory position...

It is just so hard to prove that he will leave at the end of student permit since I am already here and his ties will be stronger here than in our home country..

One of the reasons too why I want to get him immediately is that my mom and my aunt who are in charge for my son are both old already... and my mom had a stroke too and they can't take care of him anymore....

How would I request for the TRP on H&C grounds?

Thank you again!

Quick question: Once i receive DM, do i have to pay the landing fee before they will give me a landing date or can i pay at the landing office on day of interview?

 

[figtoria]

You can pay at landing.

Personally, I paid before that so as not to give them any possible reason to hold it up.

 

[sounion]

10 weeks.

holy crap. ??? :-[ :'(

So, i just got email about the DM a few days ago.. (26/6/2013), would I receive any letters in snail mail ? (is that sent by CIC but not Vancouver office?) and when i got the letter, i still hv to count 3 months before Vancouver office will contact me? and if they dun contact me after 3 months, I call Vancouver office to ask? or call CIC?

I'm a little confused now and would like to know what i need to do.

Article in today's Ottawa Citizen regarding the strike by Foreign Service Officers and impact on immigration processes. Although it focuses mainly on impact of strike on processing of visitor visas and the tourism industry, hopefully the article will increase pressure on Government to resolve the strike which will assist us and the plight of our PR applications.
