INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[honeyblossom678]

Hi Everyone,
I just saw a link at the Canada Inland Spousal Sponsorship Petitioners Facebook page in regards auditing Citizenship & Immigration Canada for Service Delivery in Inland Spousal Sponsorship. I think it's really important for us, family and friends to sign this petition and to have our voices heard. Please pass the message along.

Hello my waiting buddies,
today I went to my mailbox, like every day since 16months and 14days, and big surprise !!!!
3 brown enveloppes!!!
1. letter from CIC to tell me that my OWP is on its way!!!!
2. letter from BC health with my HEALTH CARD!!!!!!! valid from dec 1st. incredible!!!!
and
3. letter from CIC with my beautiful OWP!!!!!! valid until 2017

I am speechless, happy, and grateful!!!!!
So I must share this with all of you,
the letters from CIC were both stamped by Canada post on dec 22nd. probably they wanted to give me this as Christmas present. Thank you CIC and Canada post, I am very happy even though it came a little late, normally I should have received it at the same time as my AIP in November.
On my work permit the only restriction which made me laugh for hours :
not allowed to work in the sex related industry.... massage.....and escort....

my fellow I hope I could sheer you all up with this and make you laugh for a moment. Please keep your minds joyfull, the coming year is ours!!!!!

I wish you all a very happy start into the new year and thanks for all your helpful comments. I will put a candle and say lots of prayers for all of you.
I start to party right away today and after New Years Eve, I'll knock on every HR's door, I have nearly 17 months of work to recover.

Nice! So happy for you! Many congratulations and enjoy ringing in the New Year, knowing if you get hit by a stray firework, you won't have any medical bills to pay!

Hossam and Maricel Castillo

The only thing I can find is that they got their owp file number and that cic confirmed that their owp is in process. Would be strange if they start with may 2014 applications

Congrats Frenchwapiti. So happy for you. Despite unclear answers from cic you got all your prayers answered today. Did you ask cic call center to send a message for you re your owp? Did you follow up again? Or did you just wait? Im asking cause today i called and the guy said that my owp has not been issued (full aip issued on dec 15) but told me that he just emailed them to issue one for me. I dont know if il believe him. But i hope, if thats the case, that it wont take long. How long do you think would that take to receive owp in the mail?
Again congrats to you. johnnyP, i hope you get answers too soon.

Thanks Shyla. (+1) I will certainly post it here if we get the good news like Frenchi.
I tried to call CIC since yesterday but could not get through.

Congrats Frenchwapaiti!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question for those of you with Work Permits...

Is the official temporary SIN # the one in the top right corner under where it says Canada in the oval shaped box?? Starts with DD and then the 9 digits?

If that is, then I can send it in to the CRA and they will owe us over $10,000 back pay for child tax benefit payments that couldn't be issued until my husband got his temporary SIN!!!

Not complaining, but it JUST misses both my husbands and my son's bday, and xmas....lol. But oh well.....even taking that whole thing and putting it on bills and credit cards wouldn't leave us debt free by this point. :-[

Aug 16th, 2013 applicant here. Still no AIP, no OWP after sending additional proofs on Nov 21st...
We sent the OWP application with the sponsorship/PR application, so I hope we qualify for the new pilot program and will be one of the first to receive the OWP.

Ok...no offense...I am ecstatically happy for everyone getting their OWPs.... ;D ;D

But it is SOOOOOO wrong that May 2014 applicants are getting OWPs when some August 2013ers don't have it yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??? ??? ??? ???

Oh CIC....your idiocy and uselessness knows no bounds......................

Have they no idea what chronological means?!? it goes August 2013, Sept 2013, Oct 2013, Nov 2013, Dec 2013....THEN on to 2014.....And starting in JANUARY....*sigh*

Note: Please don't be upset by my comments if you are one of the lucky May 2014ers who got your OWP, as mentioned I am SUPER happy for you honestly, but it's just hard to see things like this happening for those who have been waiting so much longer. Hope you understand!

No, he has to go to a Service Canada office and apply for the SIN. They give you the number itself immediately, and you get an official card in the mail a few days later.

 

[LeBon]

I wouldn't take anything on the Facebook group as gospel unless it comes from Eric Laine. He has done life changing work for a lot of us and I couldn't be more grateful to him.

However, a lot of the other posts are (understandably) panicked/paranoid people who won't do there own research (CIC's phone number is not hard to find), often misinterpret statements by CIC (I've never heard anyone reference a "work permit number" before), or spam the page with same questions over and over.

It actually stresses me out more to read their comments!

SIN cards are no longer being issued. The paper copy is all you get now. http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/sin/

Thanks for the update - there's no way I would avoid losing that piece of paper!

If I understand well, two facebook group member were able to get a file number of their OWP application, which only means that the agent they were talking to was able to locate their application. It doesn't mean that their OWP is already issued and we can't know if they will get it sooner than others. That doesn't mean anything.
