Congratulations! When you say "Extension Approved", which are you referring to? Is it your extension of Open Work Permit?
December 2019 Inland Spousal Application (With or Without OWP)
- Thread starter sep28
- Start date
When you looked at Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker form [IMM 5710] again on page 5 of 6 , there is a box Signature of Application where they asked for your signature.
Did they send your sponsorship application back? I heard that they do separate Spousal Application and OWP.
Sorry to hear about that.
Yes, in the box I typed my name as you are allowed to. It says it is considered an electronic signature { i'm assuming for those that apply online}, but I printed it out as is, without hand signing it. They sent back the complete package over this. It would've taken them less than 5 minutes to write me and let me email it to them that same day..than throwing my package to someone else to have it sent back to me. Everything so far has been a total mess, I wanted to give up and just sponsor my husband for the States but he insists on remaining in Canada. So we sent it out the same day we got it (Jan 23) they received on Jan 27th and just waiting to see what happens. Thank you for the reply.
I can understand, when it allow to type your name, it does as electronic signature. However, they put an Important Note below This application must be signed , so who checked it they will assume Signature of Application by hand. Because When they set up "If signatures are missing, we will return the application without processing it." their officer will follow it up, some of them didn't think twice, it can reduce their work in couple weeks when the application is sent back.
Hello, u got csq request?Hello everyone.

Hi Guys!!

I have two dates, one for the PR application that was rec'd Dec 4th and the Work permit application which says it was received Nov 27th so I am not sure which date people are using to count down from on the spreadsheet? The work permits approved today say Nov 13th, is that the PR date received or the OWP date received? Really hoping for approval within the next 2 weeks.
