Greetings everyone,
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my post and or help answer any of my questions. To say that this has been a frustrating process so far would be an understatement. I am an American Citizen applying for permanent residency under the Spousal Sponsorship program within Canada. I am currently here under a visitor visa, and I have a few questions I was hoping some nice people could help me sort out. We have just paid my fees as apart of the online guide and we have a few last minute questions. As getting hold of the CIC call center at the moment has been met with "We are currently experiencing a large volume of calls and cannot transfer you to an agent, please hang up and try again". After 3 hours of calling, I'm about ready to just give up.
My questions:
I had heard that I can send out an application for a work permit with my residency application and then have it processed after the first stage in my residency is accepted? Which work permit form applies to me? The ones I've found online are all "Work application from outside of Canada" do I just fill out that one, pay the fees, and include it in my packet for residency? Or is my application different because I am within Canada.
The second question is in regards to the application and the receipt portion. When I got my printed online receipt it was wanting me to fill out a section that says "Client Date of birth" Does that mean my date of birth? Or my wife's Date of birth in which the Credit Cards name is under? There is also another portion on the receipt that says "Client ID" We've never received an ID number is this applicable to us? Nothing I've found on the CIC website gives any information in regards to the online receipt we're supposed to "Fill out and attach"
