INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[computergeek]

If I were not so close to getting the AIP, I would have withdrawn it long time ago and apply outland instead, so that my wife can at least have health coverage and OWP.

There is no OWP for an Outland application. But once PR is granted, there's no need for a work permit.

Hey everyone, I am in need of serious advice as my very life is on edge.

I an October 3, 2013 applicant from the US who, like most people, expected about 7-9 months until I would be able to work. This delay has caused me to slip into some pretty bad depression and I have not been myself. My common law partner has not taken my depression well and has decided that she doesn't enjoy being around me anymore. I am trying my best to fix things but i am afraid I may have been too "gone" for too long to be able to fix it. While I am obviously devestated and my sanity is hanging by a thread due to possibly losing the person I love more than anything in this world, I am also afraid that the life I have worked so hard to have the past half decade may be in jeopardy. If it does not work out and she cannot sponsor me, my life as I know it in Canada will be just an unacheivable dream and everything I have waited so long for will have been just a tease. I guess what I truly am asking here is, if we are not able to fix our relationship....what other options would I have to become a canadian resident ASAP? I have been here for 5 years, school for one year, worked for 1 year, school for 2 years, then residence waiting for one year. As said before I am from the US and would have originally applied outland if I had known the mess that inland would be. Unfortunately I was not educated enough when I applied and now I am in this situation. Are there any other classes or any other ways that I could possibly apply and get residence? Anything at all?

I already filed inland application to sponsor my spouse with open work permit. CIC received it on 05 Sep 2014 but no letter for acknowledgement.
My Spouse study permit going to expired by the end of September. I know that she will get the implied status.
But to be on safer side i also applied for her visitor visa once her study permit expired to be on safer side. I also wrote them that she already applied for her sponsorship.

Is this wise to do it or i already make the mistake, Because i did not hear from them till now after 5 days of online filing the application.

Any advice in this regard after all the things done should be appreciated

You did the right thing...it is too soon to get a decision on her visitor's status.

if they will not grant her visitor visa I think she will still stay on implied status. We have mixed experience by different people on discussion panels. Some people got it and other were refused. So if God forbid if its refused than she still stay here that's my question.

Yes, she can stay, she has implied status for the OWP that you already sent. Her chances for a visitor's extension are good, wait for another week. If you provided a letter of explanation, evidence that you can support her while in Canada and proof of sponsorhip submission, you will be fine.

I currently have no legal status in Canada while waiting for my work permit/residence. I thought I was on implied but did not find out the truth until it was too late. Is it possible to get a visitor's visa right now while waiting for residence or would that just make things worse?

At this point you shouldn't worry. Even though you are out of status, unless you run into trouble there is no downside to lack of status. Indeed, one of the primary reasons to use the Inland process is because it provides a path from "no status" to "in status". Eventually CIC will start processing Inland applications again.

I am not totally familiar with stage 1 approval. Do they require you go in for an interview or are you notified of approval and sent a work permit by mail, without being required to show up anywhere in person? I may need to visit home soon but don't want to risk leaving the country if it will void my application. I am thinking about going there until I get the work permit, then my common law can mail me the permit down there so that when I return I have a legal document for re-entry. Is this a totally bad idea or may this possibly work?

Only if they have questions about your relationship will you need to go in for an interview prior to stage 1 approval.

Most get the stage 1 approval(AIP) by email. Work permit will be sent by mail after stage 1 approval.

Note this type of work permit is not for re-entry. The border offficials will decide whether to let you back kn the country and i wouldnt leave the country for a while without your partner.

Some ppl have gone back home for short visits (2 weeks) and have had no issues coming back to Canada. Though these ppl are from a visa exempt country.

If you have no legal status anymore and you're gonna try to re-enter, please consider that you might have a big chance to be refused! CIC does not require to have a legal status, but CBSA does!! Being out of status, leaving country and trying to re-enter with your inland application being in process sounds too risky to me. It's up to you to take the risk.
