Spousal sponsorship

[madrasi]

Hi Guys ! I am new here, it's really useful forum to discuss a lot of things about visa applications and really supporting.

I am PR holder living in Canada, married last year in India. I have sent my application on January 22, 2015. Still not got any reply or AOR? In my application, I have put myself as still looking for job, because after returning here in January, I couldn't able to find any job. But just got a job, gonna start from next week. Do I need to sent my employment letter to Immigration Canada?

I am so much confused?

Hi everyone,

I appliead last year month of July 2014 and revived AOR August 2014, I was already planning to apply for open work permit after I read the news that it is already possible, but, last January I just found out I am pregnant. My working permit will expire this coming month of May, is there anyone who has the same case or anyone who have any idea or advice to give which is better to do, to apply still open work permit or just to extend my visa? I don't know yet how much it will cost for visa or for the open work permit. If I apply for open work permit still I need to wait, I am not sure if I can still work during the time before my delivery. Please help for a better decision to make. Thank you in advance.

It is good for your case to inform them that you are not jobless, u are employed... I think you should inform them...ask other people also what they suggest

Don't expect AOR, as they quite often don't give it. It's normal to not hear anything until sponsor approval.

No, you don't need to send an employment letter to CIC but you can if you want.

to apply still open work permit or just to extend my visa? I don't know yet how much it will cost for visa or for the open work permit. If I apply for open work permit still I need to wait, I am not sure if I can still work during the time before my delivery.

If you want to work, apply for an OWP. If you don't want to work, apply for a visitor extension. It's your decision.

Seeking an answer to a specific question that did not come up in search.

My Russian wife, whose application is being processed in Warsaw, was recently asked for updated documents including a medical re-do. We've both been nervous about an interview as we did things kind of fast, were a little light on supporting evidence, and I know nothing is out of the realm of possibility when it comes to immigration.

Has anyone ever been asked to re-do a medical BEFORE being asked for an interview?

Doing the medical is kind of an expensive proposition for her with where she lives in relation to the certified doctor, I'd hate for her to pay for this then have an interview with the risk of being refused.

TIA

Typically, people are asked to redo a medical after an interview, so if here asking for a medical redo, I'd think it would mean they won't require an interview. However, that doesn't mean they couldn't ask for a medical before asking for an interview if, perhaps, there was something unusual that came up on the medical exam. I'd say if your medical has expired, the. You're probably in the clear for an interview, but one can never be 100% certain when it comes to cic.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a specific answer that I havent found on the CIC website. I'm an American citizen, and I got married to a Canadian citizen. I entered the country October 31 2013 on a two year work permit (which was issued to me at the border) and I got married October 31 2014. I recently applied for my PR as a spouse, with my wife sponsoring me of course. My question is-I saw on the website as of 12/14 that I could work while the application is being processed, even before the AIP or the first stage or whatever it's called. I was wondering what I would have to wait for to be able to apply for an OWP, and would I be able to apply for the OWP at the border. Any advice would be appreciated guys. Thanks a lot.

How did your wife sponsor you? Inland or outland? If you applied outland, then unfortunately no OWP goes along with this process. If you applied inland, then you qualify for an OWP at around the 4 month mark after the application is submitted. No - you cannot obtain this OWP at the border - you have to mail the application in to CIC.

Thanks for the reply. I applied inland. Anyone have any idea why the wait is so long? It says "may work while the application is being processed." But it isn't very specific, except to say that if I've already applied for a PR, I can go ahead and fill out form IMM 5710.

 

[Justheretovent]

I guess another question I have is, if I can go ahead and apply with form IMM5710, what evidence would I have that I've applied for a PR, considering it says I don't even have to wait until I've passed the first stage? Here's the article I'm referencing.

Yes - those are the instructions you should be following. You should apply now and can expect to receive the OWP around 4 months after the inland application was sent. Waiting four months for the OWP after submitting the inland application is actually extremely short. Before this pilot was introduced you had to wait until you had first stage approval before the OWP would be issued - first stage approval is currently taking 17 months.

As an American, you most likely would have been much better off applying outland. Many Americans are getting through the entire process in 5-6 months right now total. However if the inland application has already been submitted - I guess that's the way you've chosen to go.
