Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

Hi all! I have an update!
I got through on the phone and spoke to a CIC officer. She said my OWP was still "in process" but since it is past processing times, she went ahead and sent a message to instruct whoever processes OWP apps they should be processing mine.
She also gave me my OWP application number, which I used to successfully link my paper application to myCIC! It didn't work the first few times, UNTIL I didn't include "city/country of birth" and ONLY included "passport information."
Fingers crossed the OWP status changes from "not started" to "approved" soon!

Hello
The work-permit issued under the Inland Application is normally valid for a maximum period of 2 years or the date your passport is expiring if its expiring within those 2 years.
The current processing time for INLAND APPLICATIONs is within 20-27 months, so if the one you have is about to expire it can be renewed for additional 2 years with the same form 2-3 months before the expiry date.
Your wife's visitor visa is valid till 2019, so that means the passport is valid until then. If all goes well, your wife's work permit would be valid for 2 years.

Hi
for applying INLAND, the total fee is $1040 ( $75 Sponsorship fee, $475 Primary applicant fee and $490 PR Landing fee). You do not have to pay the full $1040 upfront but you have to pay the $550 ( 75 Sponsorship fee, $475 Primary applicant fee ) when you send in your application.
if you are also applying for work-permit you need to pay additional $255 ($155 work permit fee and $100 open work-permit holder fee)
all in all, right now you need to pay $550 + $255.
You can pay $490 when you get AIP (Approval in Principle) which is months away.

Oh man, once I read your post, and then went back into MyCIC, everything clicked into place. EITHER town/country of birth, OR passport information. Now my application is linked to my account! But no progress/not in progress at all. Baby steps...Oh good I'm so glad it worked for you!! Yup, baby steps!vaya said:
Finally I was able to link my OWP app. Although I had a MyCIC account when I applied to my visitor visa, I created a new one through "Sing-in with Partner" option. It worked without the UCI number i got when applied to visitor visa.
Temp Residence---> Work permit--->Last and Given names and birth date combination----> left in BLANK city and country---> passport info---->Canada--->Marital Status----> Applied to Perm Res as spouse/CL inside Canada (last option).
It does give you an application code that starts with a "W" so my guess it is in fact an OWP application linked and not my PR application.
I also got an e-mail saying than my app was linked.
Thank you for sharing the info guys.

Hello everyone,
We sent the application in December 27, 2015. after that we received the email in the sponsor's email in February, 2016 saying
Sponsorship
1. We received your application to sponsor XXX XXXX on December 30, 2015.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on February 19, 2016.
I didn't send the OWP application with the PR application. I'm wondering if I can apply for OWP online now or do I have to wait for sponsor approve first?

So I submitted a 'restoration of status' application online, and paid yet another $200 to these people. Should we resubmit the application now along with a note stating that we've applied for restoration of status (I imagine the restoration will probably go through before they actually look at the application again in Mississauga) or just wait for confirmation of restoration of status, and redo the appliation? I'm more worried about how it would affect the OWP application if she's applying for it while not in status.mp8472 said:
