June 2022 INLAND Spousal Sponsorship Paper Based

[PTO]

This morning I received an email stating I received the following:

Permit - WP-EXT / Permis - PT-PROR 2024/11/04. I had applied for a visitors extension and also for PR- spousal-inland paper.
So is this my work permit as it is valid for 2 years?
They also gave me a new ETA valid for 5 years. Is this work permit multiple entry automaticly or am I not able to leave the country till I get my COPR?

Thanks

If you apply inland, you should stay in Canada.
Not sure about the work permit. But you could leave for short trips. But do not move out of Canada while waiting for your PR application/sponsorship to complete.

Hi, I finally got hold of someone at Immigration after trying for 3 weeks. The WP EXT is a work permit without any limitations. I can leave Canada for short trips but was highly recommended to only go with your sponsoring spouse ( if that is your situation).
The lady also told me there is no way of telling how long anything takes at the moment. Some AOR could take 7 or 8 months, and some just a week. Also, once they have started the application it could still take well over a year to get COPR. We are just happy we finally have a work permit and are able to live life normally for 2 years now.

Did the agent specifically said that AOR can take up to 7 or 8 months? I'm still waiting for my AOR for 6.5 months now (online/outland).

Hi, yes they did. I asked why I had not even an email or any notification that the application was received and they don't do that. My first application was online and was sent back after 7 or 8 weeks because it was missing 2 signatures, which I didn't agree with. But anyways, they just close it and go to the next. No idea how it is with outland applications. Some offices are a lot busier than others I'm guessing. Good luck with the application, waiting for so long is just horrible.

Outland applications stay in Canada before AOR, so it's for the Sydney NS office in Canada to deal with the first few stages. Yes it is terrible waiting so long just for the AOR, I've seen other applications later than mine got approved which makes no sense to me.
