good morning, I just got this in my mail today, is this what Aip looks like? what's next from here?
Sir/Madam,
This refers to your application for permanent residence under the « Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada » class submitted on 2019/12/12.
Authorization to present such an application from inside Canada may be granted to persons who are able to prove that they meet the definition of a member of this class and the requirements described in section 124 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). As well, dependant family members included in the application must meet the definition of a family member and the requirements described in section 129 of the IRPR.
Furthermore, according to section 127 of the IRPR, your application must include a sponsorship undertaking which must remain valid until permanent residence is granted.
We are pleased to inform you that you meet all preliminary eligibility requirements of the category and therefore your application for permanent residence is approved. However, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. You cannot become a permanent resident until you and all your family members have met all the requirements.
However, you and the members of your family in Canada, if applicable, must meet all other statutory requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)[A21], for example, medical, security and passport requirements before permanent residence may be granted. Furthermore, as per the Canada/Quebec Agreement, our decision to grant you a ministerial exemption was transferred to the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion (MIDI) who have issued a “Certificat de Sélection” in your favour.
As your application is processed, separate decisions will be made about whether you meet these other requirements. If more information is required, you will receive a letter asking you to reply within a prescribed delay.
Please note that your application for permanent residence could be refused if:
- you do not meet all statutory requirements of the IRPA [A21(1)].
- you do not continue to meet the requirements of the Spouse or Common-law
Partner in Canada class.
- you receive a letter asking for a reply and you do not respond.
- you fail to advise this office of any changes to your address. You may do so by
writing to this office at the address shown at the top of this letter, by contacting the Call Centre or on-line at www.cic.gc.ca.
Please note that it is a requirement of the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada class that you continue to have temporary resident status in Canada until the day that permanent residence is obtained. Failure to do so will result in a refusal to grant you permanent resident status. You are responsible for obtaining any necessary extension to your status. You must also obtain a work or study permit in order to work or study in Canada while awaiting finalization of your application. You will need the application kit entitled "Changing Terms and Conditions or Extending Your Stay " which can be obtained by contacting the Call Centre or through our Web site.
Should your marital status or personal situation change, you must write to this office immediately or telephone the Call Centre.
If preliminary information indicates that you likely meet all statutory requirements of the IRPA, you will receive a letter asking you to attend an interview at the Canada Immigration Centre in your area. A final determination on your application for permanent residence will be made at this interview. If you do not attend this interview, it could be interpreted as a lack of interest in permanent residence and your application could be refused. Please note that we will be unable to finalize your application if you are not in possession of a valid passport or travel document.
We wish to remind you that foreign nationals presenting Applications for Permanent Residence are subject to a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) of $ 490 per person, except for the following:
- Protected Persons (including Convention Refugees) who apply for permanent residence in any class and the family members included in their application;
- Members of the Protected Temporary Resident class and the family members included in their application;
- Dependent Children, regardless of age, of a Sponsor or Principal Applicant;
- Dependent Children of Dependent Children of a Sponsor or Principal Applicant;
- A child to be adopted, an orphaned brother, sister, niece, nephew or grandchild.
Payment of the RPRF is required pursuant to the Fees Regulations of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations and permanent residence will not be granted until payment of this fee is received. Prompt payment will avoid delays in the processing of your application due to the expiration of security or medical results. Therefore, if you
have not already done so, it is strongly recommended that you comply with this requirement as soon as possible.
If you require clarification or additional information or wish to inform us of a change of address, consult the IRCC Web site at
www.cic.gc.ca or contact the Call Centre (toll free) at 1-888-242-2100
