Hi All,
I got email from CIC yesterday!!! - first I got the email telling me that I meet the requirements to sponsor my husband, and within literally two minutes, he got this email:
"This letter refers to tour application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in canada class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in canada class. however, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. these requirements include medical, security and backgrounds checks for you and if applicable all of your family members both in canada and abroad even if they are not applying to join you in canada at this time. you cannot become a permanent resident until you and all your family members have these requirements.
You may now apply for an open work permit which allow you to work in the occupation and location of your choice."
HURRAY!!!! he also got a separate email with the medical form to bring to the Dr.´s office.
I got home pretty late last night due to some previous work engagements but could´t wait to give you the news. Just as a refresher, our application was received on January 7, 2013.
It is happening!!! we are all getting the great news soon! I was so paranoid for 11 months thinking and wondering if we missed a paper, or if we didm´t submit enough back up and photos and such... had the best sleep last night in a very, very long time. Hubby is still in a bit of shock I think. Now he is going to be pretty busy getting settled
All the best to all!!
