Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[HisComfort]

If he applies inland, he has access to apply for an open work permit. He can remain in Canada and can work (and potentially have access to health care) while they process the file.

Outland is the same amount of processing time, and there is no permits automatically afforded to applicants. So it's up to him to keep his status.

Thank you for your response!
I was just on the CIC website and read about work permits. My worry is that his is a "farm working visa". I'm worried that they could cancel it if they know he married a Canadian citizen. The ministry wants them to focus on work and believes they are in Canada to do this only. It is possible for my fiancé to get a 2 year farm working visa. This would be ideal for an inland process without the risk of cancellation.

Are you already enrolled in MSP? If you are, use this form to change your status, put a sticky note on it saying you are already enrolled and you just want to update your status. If you're under your spouse's MSP account, he/she needs to fill it out and you both sign it. Don't forget to send a copy of your CoPR with the form.


And you can go get your permanent SIN as soon as you're done with the interview and you have your CoPR.

Happy landing!

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I don't see an issue here. As long as his present work permit is still valid he can keep working until the OWP is issued.

Relationships happen all the time. I don't think they'll even bother. As long as the permit is valid..

I hate to say this but we had bought the tickets since I got the medical request to avoid paying triple the price and almost thought I would lose the $ (no refund) but it's starting to look possible now. Btw I appreciate the fact you remember and I'm sure everyone else can relate too as I've seen on numerous occasions how you can remember exactly the most minor to major details on members of this forum's case even if they've been inactive for a significant period of time and I just wanna say thanks. You and quite a few others @sylvain1 @carolbb23 @browning911 etc who's spouse's have landed a LONG time ago yet still here assisting us, im sure we've all wished we can pay more than just respect online.

this is ridiculous how your waiting since last year

Good morning everyone. Update!!! My husband received his PR on Tuesday!!! We were a August 2016 applicant. Pr was done in London and very very easy.

 

[Tymir]

I do have a question... and sorry I am just jumping back on here. We have had a super busy week with moving.

Now that my husband has his PR when can he sponser his children or do I need to?

When can we start the process?

Where the children listed in his PR app? If so, it would have been easier to change them to accompanying before his DM. One less thing to do and pay for later!

It's important that they at least be listed dependants. If they weren't, they can never be sponsored by him.

If they were included as non-accompanying, then he can sponsor them any time, providing they did the medical.

Note that, despite him being the sponsor, you're still considered a cosponsor until the 36 month undertaking ends. However, there isn't an income assessment in first generation dependants.

Yes the children were listed and they had their medical done. We did put non accompanying thou.

If you switched them before DM, it would have only cost the dependent fees. Unfortunately, now it's more. And they will need to eventually redo the medical.

But good news is, anytime you can pass that paperwork in!

Wishing everyone a sugary Tuesday! Hopefully good news for all.

Check ecas using the sponsor information. Doing that you will see information regarding the sponsor and the principal applicant. When you see decision made on the sponsor side, that will mean the sponsor was approved.
