Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

Yeah the doctor in Kitchener gave us the eMedical sheet (copy) to send to CIC, and he emailed us (her) two days later after having read the blood and x-ray results and told us it was a pass.

Apparently this one emails the results straight to CIC via eMedicals or something.
On the website they say that all they give you is a confirmation form. Anyway, is not a big deal, since they run just basic tests on contagious deseases and stuff - no psychological review to see if you can face the stress of a PR app

For status restoration?

Yep. Now I guess I hafta send a CSE regarding my OWP to let them know I qualify for the program cause I cannot count on them doing all the research...

The psych is passive review

Yes they deliver to CIC direct, but the KW doc emailed us directly with the results in 2 days.

You qualified before . But they already know your status was restored....they granted it after all...

Got the best email today. Landing interview is scheduled for Nov 2 at VICTORIA. Don't even have to go to the mainland. Happy as a pig in mud! ;D

Congrats Sipfarms! Awesome news. ;D

Yeah, I dunno if it's the same office that's in charge of both types of application.
And I was out of status before so what do you mean I already qualified for that? Waiting until AIP? That takes ages!

 

[browning911]

Got my app approved late last night.
55 days, more or less

Thank you.

Congrats Maria! Great news. Now OWP! ;D

Yes and they both use GCMS. Trust me, they know . By all means, email them to advise your status was restored.

Out of status is ok, you qualify still for them to process your application. I pasted a blurb from the OP on that. Good to restore it though!

Yeah, great timing for my WP to arrive though. Guess I'd better start looking for Santa jobs ;D

You shouldn't have mentioned the area of Toronto you are in... now I will be the fat man-child sitting on Santa's lap.. I will have to try all of the malls in the area just to make sure

Elf would be a better idea

 

[maria_mirabela]

Oh no, not elf! I set my goals high

@profiler: now that you've mentioned about qualifying for OWP anyway even if out of status it really bugs me.
Where again did you post that cause I cannot find it. Not that I'm regretting to have spent 200 bucks but it's like a puzzle left unsolved in the corner of my mind...

Oh, I meant the PR app. Let me check on the OWP procedures... sec...

EDIT: From: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/admissibility/open.asp

"qualifying foreign nationals who have submitted an application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class.

- As of December 22, 2014, open work permits may be issued to eligible applicants under the SCLPC class at an earlier stage in processing. This pilot project will end on December 21, 2016.

- Officers will issue open work permits to SCLPC class applicants if they meet the following requirements:
- a permanent residence application has been submitted under the SCLPC class;
- a Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse has submitted a sponsorship application on their behalf;
- the SCLPC class applicant resides at the same address as the sponsor; and
- the SCLPC class applicant has valid temporary resident status (as a visitor, student, or worker).

- Applicants whose application for permanent residence is being processed under the spousal public policy (subcategory “PP” in GCMS) on the basis that they do not have a valid temporary resident status are not eligible to be issued an open work permit under the pilot project. They must wait until they receive approval in principle to be eligible to apply for an open work permit.

- Case processing centres will ensure that the requirements are met and conduct a systems check to identify any adverse information on either the sponsor or the applicant that would render the applicant ineligible to receive an open work permit. If there is information that an applicant is inadmissible, their application for an open work permit will be refused.

- Validity: These work permits are valid for two years or until the date the SCLPC class applicant’s passport expires, whichever is the earliest.

- Additional GCMS coding: Use special program code “SPO” (sponsored spouse or partner) and standard note “Pending FC APR” (to be entered in User Remarks so it appears on the physical document).

- In combination with LMIA exemption code A70 and NOC code 9999, this additional coding will allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to capture and report on data specific to the issuance of open work permits to SCLPC class applicants.

I know about PR. With OWP, if you don't have status they issue it once you have AIP. At least to my knowledge ...
