Hi,
I have already applied for Spousal sponsorship(Outland) in June 2015. I am hoping I will get my PR by June 2016. The thing is my work permit expired on Dec8th 2015 so I wanted to change my status to visitor. And I applied for a visitor visa on November 6th 2015. I didn't get any reply from cic for 2 months. It shows "my application is open". I am wondering if I applied the wrong form. I applied IMM 5708.

Can guys please tell me if I did something wrong? :eek:

PLEASE !!!

I am no expert but from a quick glance at the CIC website, you seem to have used the correct form.
MM 5708 is the form to use if you are a temporary resident who is already in Canada and you want to remain in Canada as a visitor. You would probably have to abide by the restrictions of a visitor (not working etc).

As you know with any CIC application, it is a waiting game. All the best!

@Emma did you apply inland? Then you will get an open work permit approximately after an year.

In my case I applied outland. I don't even know what is going on? I dont know what should I do if I visiting visa application gets rejected?

From the CIC website, you could contact the nearest Iraqi embassy. A google search led me to one in Ottawa. Perhaps that could be your starting point?

I am not Iraqi citizen and have I no clue how their process works. I was just trying to find information for you. This is a thread for Iraq applicants. Maybe it will give you an insight into how others got their police certificate from Iraq.

A PR application does not grant any visa status on it's own. If you applied inland and submitted an OWP with the application then you have status as implied until the permit is granted. If you applied outland then you need to maintain some kind of status to stay in Canada (visitor, student, work etc).
