JULY 2019 *Inland* Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter JamesBarnes
- Start date
As soon as you dial punch in 3-4-1-0 avoid the long wait. Goes directly to them. Hope you get it all sorted out.HI,
My Canadian wife just got an email from IRCC regarding the OWP.
They say that apparently the passport SHE provided for this is expired or will expire within 3 months and that we have to submit a valid one.
Here is the fun part: No passport copies we sent with the application are expired nor will they expire within the next three months. They are both valid and expire in three/six years. That's one thing. The second thing is that they sent it to my wife who is Canadian and certainly doesn't need an OWP in order to work in Canada, ehm. Why are they asking and referring to her when the OWP application is under my name only, now that is the ultimate question.
I think they made a mistake and somehow misread the information we provided them with (very funny, yes). You had one job. It made me slightly nervous and now I have to wait until Monday morning to try and give them a call about this weird email. I hope someone will answer the phone. And I also hope their mistake will not delay the OWP process more than it is, because in 2 weeks it will be 4 months of waiting for the OWP approval. Dang it.
What do you think?
Decisions!?!
So we sent PR app on July 30, Aor on Aug 30th. Had interview due to being out of status on Oct 7th, declined PRRA, got prioritization and Exclusion paperwork that were said to be delayed for 60 days. On Oct 9th received SA, PA, and Medical Request and then statement from CBSA that the Exclusion order would not be pursued due to application achieving a critical stage! Completed Medical on Oct 17th. and Ecas still says they're waiting on Medical.
So question is whether or not to apply for OWP or wait for PR...

A miracle just happened.
Well, first of all I got an email now that they just assigned a new application number to my OWP app to correct the administrative error they made yesterday. Second of all, I was FINALLY able to link it to my online profile, after all these weeks. Cannot believe it. I am still gonna call them tomorrow morning just to be sure about yesterday's email, but HOPEFULLY they will process it soon..!!
Ok, I just read her email again and she said required stage
"I have received notification that your application for Permanent Residency has passed one of the required stages. It is my understanding that they have e-mailed you with similar information, and a request for further documentation.
As a result of today’s decision, CBSA will not be pursuing removal. Please note that we will retain your passport until your application for PR is finalized."
So they are fast-tracking your application? Because you're out of status?Ok, I just read her email again and she said required stage
