Hi,
We have applied for inland sponsorship end of February, the package was delivered by Canada Post on February 25th. Since then, we have no received any confirmation from IRCC that the application was received nor were we able to link the application. When we contacted them via the website they mentioned that they are operating on skeleton staff right now and that is most likely the reason why they haven't yet started processing the application and before they start processing it will not be in the system.
From that regard, my wife doesn't yet have implied status, and her last entry to Canada was end of December, 2019. This means that the 6 month period of visitor stay ends at the end of June, 2020. With that being said, I have the following questions:
Thanks in advance
We have applied for inland sponsorship end of February, the package was delivered by Canada Post on February 25th. Since then, we have no received any confirmation from IRCC that the application was received nor were we able to link the application. When we contacted them via the website they mentioned that they are operating on skeleton staff right now and that is most likely the reason why they haven't yet started processing the application and before they start processing it will not be in the system.
From that regard, my wife doesn't yet have implied status, and her last entry to Canada was end of December, 2019. This means that the 6 month period of visitor stay ends at the end of June, 2020. With that being said, I have the following questions:
- Should we apply for extension in this case or my wife does actually have implied status, regardless of whether IRCC confirmed receipt or not?
- Extension application form:
- Purpose of visit: is it "Family Visit" or we specify "Other" and in text box say "Permanent Resident Spousal Sponsorship Application"?
- Indicate how long you plan to stay: Should the "From" be the date when the current 6 month period ends (e.g. 6 months from last date of entry) or should it be from date of submitting the extension application and "To" should be 6 months from the "From" date?
- Funds available for my stay: Do we provide a print out for the amount on my (spouse) bank account? Given that the question "My expenses in Canada will be paid by" we answered "Other" and Spouse (me). In other words I am paying for my wife's expenses while we wait for the open work permit and application processing
- Name, address and relationship of any person(s) or institution(s) I will visit: Is it myself (spouse) as 1 and another name(s) for the 2 visit?
- Question 2c: Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada: Should we specify the original visitor visa application or should we explain that we applied for sponsorship and permanent residence, but have not yet received confirmation from IRCC?
Thanks in advance
