I have received a letter saying it is transferred to local office for further assessment under Spouse/Common Law in Canada class.
What is next? Any ideas?

Without a decision made, probably an interview to determine if the marriage is bona fide. Could be security or criminality, but usually marriage.
It is probably security or marriage. I don't think I have criminal records for one. Security maybe, I am from Singapore.
I hope it's not anything serious. And we are expecting a baby due next month. Called CIC and was informed to update our application.

hi PMM
Do I still need to extend my Visa or what should I do? I am not sure what is my status now. I applied last year October so is my Visa still valid after they transfer my application to a local office?
thanks!

Yes, you should extend your visitor permit.

elfut said:I see. Thanks for your input. I called CIC and they informed my case would be processed within 9 months at the local office and told me that my passports must be valid for the duration of my stay, they did not state if I am to apply an extension. But I will call them again to make sure. Besides, if i were to apply another extension/work permit(change of status), i would have already broken the law or overstayed since it has been more than 9 months that I am in Canada. This is my timeline:
Application sent: Oct 2008.
Application processed: Nov 2008.
Application transferred: April 2009.
And I am not sure if I have to fly back home because I am from Singapore, I can only allow to stay overseas(out of Singapore) maximum of 1 year without working overseas or other official matters. Looks like I have to apply two Extension for both countries, Singapore law and Canadian law. I have to go back Singapore before 31 June 2009 or I would face a hefty fine and on June 25th my partner is expecting our baby. Time is very slim..for my case. I don't mind waiting for everything but if the government keeps hounding me I would have no choice worst case scenario. Should get FOSS.
