Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a situation on my hands, and was wondering about some general information so I can try to make a decision.
I put a ton of hours into my research, but I'm not sure anymore. Right now, I'm really kind of beating myself up about this, and I'm not sure if I can do it correctly, but I need it to work out. I was recently in contact with an immigration lawyer, and they want like 5 times the application cost to even help me out and I don't know that I can afford that properly or not. Please let me know of any constructive things you guys can think of.
I'm a 36 y/o female, no dependents, no higher education/certificates. I came to Canada as an IEC applicant with approval for 1 year in Sept 2018. I was up here to not only experience the country, but to confirm I wanted to definitely stay with my long-term boyfriend who is a Canadian citizen. We ended up getting married in June 2019, and got the marriage certificate just in time to submit my PR application before the expiration of my original permit in September 2019.
So one thing I did mess up, is I thought originally that implied status would work for me, I was reviewing things for the umpteenth time of course a week and a half or so after I submitted and realized it didn't, so I stopped working immediately then.
My issue is now that I've received the PR application back for a couple of nominal things that are missing, marked as incomplete. But now that I have no job until the OWP is approved as part of this, I have a lot of things on the original application which are changing. Primarily, we can't stay on a joint apartment rental agreement because we can't afford to just wait however potentially long it might take them to approve it (have to move back in with the graces of his mother in her home, so new address too), and if my work can't keep me as no-pay status until it's received, I no longer have him covered under my insurance benefits from work, etc.
So my question is, when resubmitting, and when things have changed a good deal, do I fill out a completely separate copy of all the forms involved, then include the originals and just put a letter explaining the situation? Does anyone have experience with this kind of a situation working out?
