OK, thanks, I am hoping that is what will happen! However, if it doesn't, I may tag you for follow up answers on these inquiries, hope that's OK?

Second this. I'm seeing a lot of people ask this same question in the time of Coronavirus, so know what you are not alone. EI is not considered assistance in the Sponsor/PA immigration sense of the term. Also, sorry to hear about your wife's employment situation. :(

QUESTION re: IMM 5708e - Application to extend my stay in Canada My PR and OWP are still being processed, and I'm ~30 days away from being out of [Visitor] status. I am planning on submitting an IMM 5708e form ASAP. I do have a few questions that I was hoping I could get some help on...

@Rajaharry I'm no lawyer, but once you were getting close to being out of status, with no OWP, did your lawyer have you file paperwork to extend your stay in Canada (see: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/extend-stay.html)? Once you do this and...

FYI, regarding COVID-19 workplace closures: My husband works for Canada Revenue Agency. Last night he was told not to come into work for 2 weeks. And he is not able to work remotely. I state this because I don't know if IRCC is the same and if anyone in this forum's PR or OWP paperwork will be...

I saw that too! Unbelieveable. :rolleyes:

It's is this one. It has the (06-2019) date at the bottom of the page. (The original form I submitted said (11-2018) at the bottom. It seemes like they updated it and changed the format slightly. Just irks me that my checklist automatically linked to the older version.)...

Sorry for the delayed response, I am just seeing this now. Here's how I'd handle your queries: 1. Put the actual years spent in the formal school system. But then explain on a separate sheet of paper that she received her GED, thus the "shortage" of schooling years. 2. Yes, "Unknown" for...

@abeagomez @BB802 @KuroNeko26 I am in similar boat as you three. Application received 10/30/19 (backdated to 10/23/19 by CIC). AOR received 12/24/19. No OWP yet. I am still in status. Have not received a request for medicals, either. HOWEVER, I was just asked on March 2nd to provide a new...

No, it doesn't affect anything either negatively or positively.

Have you tried making a new GCKEY account using your sponsor's UCI? You'll still be able to see the status of your PR application, as well as the status of their sponsor application. That's what I did since we received my sponsor's (husband's) UCI before I received mine.

Funny, my application was received in October 2019 and all applicants in that month are assuming we won't have to give biometrics.

KuroNeko, my timeline is a bit behind yours, but I'm in the same boat for OWP. Application received 10/30 (backdated to 10/23 by CIC) and no status change in GC Key besides "In Process." So frustrating. Hang in there!

My biometrics fee was $85 CAD, but no, we have not received a refund for it. I'll let you know if that changes!

What @canuck_in_uk replied is true, the US doesn't issue National Identity documents per se. I had the same question as you regarding this issue, and did a little research online before completing my PR application. A US driver's license is considered the closest thing to a National Identity...

I am as well; OWP app received 10/30/19 (backdated by CIC to 10/23/19). Sponsor has not received any communication since AOR on 12/24/19. All statuses in GC Key and ecas are "In Process."

I'm not sure that you need to send all those documents in for a (Spousal Sponsorship) OWP. Along with my PR application, I only submitted IMM5710E and proof of payment ($255 = $100 open permit holder fee + $155 work permit fee), as per these instructions...

I have a suspicion that they (CIC representatives) are looking at the exact same info in our GC Key that we see when we log in as the applicant/PA. So they're only able to read back to us the current status (e.g. "In Process). Which is why I've been hesitant to call for a status update--they'll...

Thanks for that input about sponsor approval. Also, if you now check OWP/Work Permit application processing times online (via https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html), they actually give you the time in number of days, not...

Thank you and I agree-you have to have your eligibility confirmed (AIP) before you can apply for OHIP.
