Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[inder1982]

Please Help here. I am going to sponsor my wife from india within a month. (Both were married and divorced, once) and I have sufficient funds and all the required documents etc. Question is Do I need to fill Sponsorship Evaluation Form (IMM 5481 E) and Finanacial Evaluation (IMM 1283) ?? the reason why i am asking this question is, on CIC website it shows like this


•Sponsorship Evaluation [IMM 5481] (PDF, 742.74 KB), only if you are sponsoring your dependent child who has no dependent children of his or her own. Unless instructed otherwise, if you live in Quebec, you don’t need to fill out this form.

•Financial Evaluation [IMM 1283] (PDF, 1.24 MB), only if you are sponsoring a dependent child who has a dependent child. Unless instructed otherwise, if you live in Quebec, you don’t need to fill out this form.

[ please help ... because when I open the form, there is information which might be needed to CIC, I am confused please someone help here

Hi all, I am planning to apply for Spousal sponsorship, spouse already in Canada.
My question is, Which method is good and fast for Open work permit?
a) If you have not submitted your sponsorship application: Put the sponsorship, permanent residence and open work permit applications into one envelope.
b) If your permanent residence application has not yet received approval in principle: Send your open work permit application to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville (CPC-V), Alberta.
c) If your permanent residence application has been approved in principle: You can apply online or on paper for an open work permit. (CIC Website)
She want to apply: Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada

Please share your advise and experience, thanks in advance.

The first option. You submit your application for open work permit together with everything else.

Hi Source_Of_Smile,

We applied for my Common Law PR Feb 8th (with OWP) and I received the AOR on the 13th March, with my work visa expiring April 10th.
According to CIC's processing times it takes ~102 days to process the paper work visas, so I have a little while to wait yet, but hoping around end of May 2017. Assuming Implied status in the meant time.

I had the same problem for the past three months. Two days ago, was able to talk to a very nice person from IRCC and he said to write (2) in the space for number of people or family members even though I was the only single person. It worked for me. You should try

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for replying to all my questions.

Now i have another question in regards to Inland spousal sponsorship, hope anyone of you can answer me.

1. Under IMM5533 Document Checklist (7th) question : If you are currently living together please provide the documentation from below 3 options

a. Joint ownership or rental agreements
b. Proof of joint utilties bill.
c. Important documents where it shows both sponsor and the applicant are living in the same address.


For option (a) we are living with our parents and we don't have an official document about the rent or lease. For even option (b) we dont have any utilites bill.

Can someone help me on this.is there any alternative solution for this ?

Thanks,
Shwan

<<<<-------We almost have the same timeline aslaug! I also sent my OWP application together with the PR application. My student visa expired on March 15 so I'm guessing I'm under implied status now. They have neither sent me any correspondence about the OWP nor my application was returned (Hopefully not!). From what I read, they will not mention anything about OWP until they send you the actual OWP. It takes more or less 4 months. they If all goes well, we will receive our OWP sometime on June.

Hi every one,
I was just told of the "Spousal Sponsorship in-land thread" thanks "prvc" for the info ! I've been asking questions on threads I started ,, wish I had Known of this thread much sooner !

Warning.. My sponsor (wife) and I are beyond being confused by the whole CIC process, we are both fairly old (60s) and hard headed so we tend to ask allot of questions.. ASKING this so called Lawyer we hired is a joke !!

Can someone tell me What does this mean?
assuming you are in status in Canada when you apply). seems there are many "statuses"

So that I can understand what "status" I am in at this moment Ill share A Brief history

I came back into Canada as a visitor From The US In Oct 2016 so that I could help my wife handle a family emergency, She is the Canadian part of our marriage THE BEST PART LOL. She come back to Canada from the states in May 2016 due to the family emergency and hasn't left..

Skip forward to Feb of this year. We decided that my wife NEEDS to stay here in Canada and that I need to Immigrate to Canada. WE applied inland thru a so called Lawyers office in Ontario.
CIC received our Complete Application Package the 3rd of March 2017, I also applied for a WP and OWP along with my application, We have yet to hear much back from CIC,

So I GUESS I am in a status of some sort YES?? Someone told me That I am in "Implied status", but I hear that is a miss conception, so for the moment I am just lost in space. lol

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone can tell me what I am.. well what Status I am in at the moment!

Most likely you have an outdated version of the form. Same thing happened to me with that form. Just go to the site and download the new one then fill it out and it should validate without issue.
