Spousal sponsorship

[Carozamb]

Hello there!
I am a girl Mexican
I have a two-year relationship with another man Mexican, we arrived in February because he was offered a work permit LMIA and I arrived in Canada as a tourist, with him on February 4. On February 28, the laws for Mexicans changed, requiring a visa to enter. In my mind, I had 6 months free to be with my boyfriend here, on July 8, we got married and on August 1, I submitted my IMM5710 application (Application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a worker) before my 6 months ended. In November, I received the application to do my biometrics and on December 5, I received a letter from the government denying me the application, for 3 reasons: X] An application for restoration must be made within 90 days of losing temporary resident status. You are not eligible for restoration of your temporary resident status because your
application was submitted after the regulated 90-day period. Since you no longer hold temporary resident status in Canada, your application for a work permit will also be rejected.
[X] You are a person in Canada without temporary resident status who is not eligible for
restoration under Section 182 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.
[X] You are a person in Canada without legal status and, as such, must leave Canada.
immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily, coercive measures may be taken against you.

I already booked my flight to go to Mexico and try to apply from abroad with the IMM1295, for an open work permit outside of Canada. My question is: should I have done an extension in addition to the previous section? My status expired on August 5 and on August 1 I submitted my application, wasn't I supposed to be on time?

First you post your question in the wrong section and took me a while to understand what you were describing.

This is NOT family class sponsorship. (since neither you nor your husband is a PR or citizen of Canada)
I think you need to post your question to the visitor section or foreign worker section.

I believe that you incorrectly try to apply for work permit??! Before you reach the end of your visitor status, you should have apply to extend your stay as a visitor.

You can just "extend your stay as a worker" suddenly because you were not a worker to begin with.

I am guessing that you try to apply for SOWP It depends on what kind of work permit he has. I am not family with SOWP for spouse of closed work permit holder.

Hello I applied for common law PR in September 2024. I got my biometric request on 13th December and completed the same today. I was wondering how long does it take to get request medical records and overall PR ?

Hi all, I have applied for PR as a PA under the Family class outbound spousal sponsorship program on 16.09.2024.

I have been to Canada before and have an active Temporary visit visa as well as biometrics till 2028 (shown in GCKey). They still sent me a message asking for biometrics payment, in my application I have clearly stated my UCI so they did know that it is valid, I have payed not to delay the process since the communication was very slow. Will this cause any issue?


I also noticed another peculiarity, none of us (sponsor or PA) got anything that I can consider AOR. I did got many emails with application number and UCI in them however none of the emails stated nothing like other AOR email example I saw here, strange. Also the sponsor till today got not a single email whatsover.

The 3rd strange thing is that since the day I got the medical request my eligability in tracker changed to complete, but in GCKey it is still under processing, this was already 2-3 weeks ago. I have also got pre arrival services email 2 weeks ago and have passed the medical which changed in both tracker and GCKey to complete.

Do you think there mightbe a problem with the application? the fact that sponsor got 0 updates is warrying me. Also my application progress doesn't match others in the forum, which worries my too.

Any info that will help me understand if things are going ok or no is much appriciated.

Thanks a lot.

All PR applicants must give biometrics anew, so this is normal - you will have to go and give them. Yes, even if you have ones that are still marked as valid.

Has IRCC asked any one to refill forms imm 5669, 5406 and 5562? They are all digital.
The web link which the IRCC has emailed in the pdf letter for these forms, takes me to the PR portal where the initial PR application was submitted.

When I log in to that portal, I just see a line showing the initial application as submitted. Should I click on "Create New" application to make these forms 'appear' and fill them again?
