***FEBRUARY 2019*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter waitinglikeyaall
- Start date
My consultant said it was approvedin gckey. But didnt receive the actual email yet.
Hello February 2019 in-land applicants - I am in great need of advice. I sponsored my American common-law partner and the application was marked received on February 13th. It was returned today :-( saying that I didn't submit my 2017 notice of assessment - which I did, it was the second page on the top of the returned application. However, it was double sided and Line 150 was on the backside and highlighted and I'm guessing they didn't bother looking on the other side... FFfffff ugh. So I guess I resubmit with my notice of assessment on two pages, highlighted and bolded.
But more importantly, I have three questions:
1. If the original OWP he was on last year has since expired (end of February 2019), is he still on implied status if the application has been returned to me - i.e., can he continue to legally work? Further, if I resubmit, can I resubmit as an in-land applicant if he now longer has a valid permit for being in Canada?
2. In the letter telling me we've been kicked out of the queue for processing and why, it has confusingly highlighted that they've updated the checklist to make it easier to use and understand. "As of February 14th 2018 you will require this new checklist... which is designated "(06-2018)" in the corner." That IS the checklist I submitted under but NOW on the IRCC website there is a Feb 2019 document checklist and a couple of the forms have been updated. Maybe that's what they are getting at? That I need to resubmit with the 2019 forms and it was a typo (that was highlighted by an IRCC agent... yay govt).
3. Lastly, that same letter says "the schedule A-background/declaration (IMM5669) form and police certificate(s) are required upfront." Well that's not true by my read, even the new 2019 checklist says "if you have lived in Canada for the last six month [which he has]... police certificates for Canada are not required at this time. IRCC will make a request for your Canadian police certificates on your behalf. Check here if this applies to you." ---I checked that and submitted the FBI Identity History Summary that Americans have to submit.
So I have NO idea what to do or resubmit. Please please please help me.. I've called an immigration lawyer as well. Thank you in advance

bbarker-- I'm also sponsoring an American spouse. I don't have any insight into the questions you asked, but I'm interested to see what advice you get on here. Good luck!
It's been 2 weeks since I got the AOR email. Still can't link OWP. Still no email of approval. My husband (PA) will be calling tomorrow to see if we can get an application number/status update, but it's killing me! Why don't they send you your work permit application number, like they do for PR/Sponsorship?
Ultimately it doesn't really matter. If it gets sent back to us, it gets sent back. Not much I can do in the mean time - but the anticipation is a killer!

Hi guys,
If there are no specific instructions at the section of country specific required documents , it means that I don’t have to submit my national ID or family booklet?
For the photocopy of passport, it doesn’t give any specific instructions so I don’t have to notarize it?

Hi guys,
I really need some advice. Has anyone been requested documents such as a photocopy of your national ID and family book even though they are not specified on the website (country-specific required documents)??

Hey, did you try linking it with his passport information? We tried to link it numerous times and then when we tried to do it with the passport info option, it worked. My suggestion would be to fill out the information that you wrote in form IMM5710 *exactly* and input his family name and DoB (dont do anything with app numbers and again, follow the spelling exactly as it is in 5710). I can send you screenshots if needed.
Perhaps it has been approved - mine was approved and mailed but with no e-mail. I figured they would of sent back your OWP by now (when they were doing the AoR) so I'm gonna be positive and say it is in the system.
I wish you luck ... try calling the CIC and asking for the OWP application number (select options 3-2-0).

Hi guys I have just applied yesterday for family sponsorship (I am the one sponsored) along with OWP ..I am very happy about it but I just figured out that I forgot to include passport photos in my application I had them prepared wrote on the back of the pictures mine and my husband's name and just saw the small envelope on my desk today..What to do?? Should I send them today with the receipts for my application or should I wait?? Please help
Strange. Same for us, Feb 8th applicant. I have checked other months, most inland apps receive medical request withing 2 weeks after AOR. I'm thinking I should have submitted it in advance, it's valid for 1 year anyway. Could have saved us a month or two.
Correct me if I am wrong but you cant submit a medical unless you get a request/form from the government, no? (Unless you are from a country that requires it beforehand).
I'm sure medicals will come very soon none the less.

That's a tough one, Bo. You can *try* sending them in right now (be sure to make a cover letter with your receipt number stating what has happened) but the unfortunate general consensus is that your application will be returned due to stories I have read on here. Maybe a more seasoned vet can give his/her opinion here
