The application to sponsor and the application for permanent residence are all sent at the same time. In the same package, he applies as a sponsor and then you also include the application for the spouse plus all dependent children.

huertdiaz, congratulations you must be very relieved! May I ask what your timeline was?

I requested that they send the application package back when I withdrew. It's been almost a month and we haven't heard a thing, so I still have no idea if they will return it. I will let everyone know whether you get it back or not once I know!

Wow congratulations everyone. So fast!!!

Hi everyone! I added myself to the spreadsheet. I actually withdrew my inland application and submitted an outland one this week. Good luck to us!

Oh wow that was like six months!!! Congratulations!!! That's exciting. I'm definitely considering withdrawing my inland application and applying outland to Bogota VO instead.

Is this true? Does that mean that if I withdraw my inland application file right now (haven't received AOR), it will all be returned to me?

yeah... I just saw a bunch of immigration workers and cbsa workers near my work today, getting coffee. I hadn't seen them in a while, I think they went back to work today! They seemed happy and rested. (I live in Ottawa).

Unfortunately, no. When I was on implied status I always sent an email with the "implied status" description from CIC and the pdf that confirmed that my application for a new work permit was submitted, with the date (which is from BEFORE your current work permit expired). Most of the times I had...

Wow this sounds cool...I didn't know I could do that! My employer has never asked me for my SIN because it's a freelance contract. I don't know how the operate but I pay my taxes as self-employed, and I charge them by the hour generally but there are some projects for which I've charged a set...

Okay so I just called CIC, was talking to the nicest agent. He was very helpful. Because I DIDN'T send an OWP with my application, I now how to wait for AIP to apply for one. My options are: -File for an extension of my current work permit. Get my employer to file for a new LMO and give me a...

Bottom line is: If I apply for an OWP now, I will be on implied status until a decision is made (AIP, around Jan 2015). Implied status means that I will have to follow the same conditions that I have on my work permit NOW, which is tied to a specific employer. That means I would have to continue...

I do, it's how I work and I actually paid for school by doing freelance contracts from outside Canada, since I wasn't allowed to work here. That's something to consider. Thanks for all your help. And about Jamesdavid, I don't think he read my full post carefully so he's suggesting things that...

You guys are all great. Thank you.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Is this true??? Currently my country is 15 months after the 40 days of sponsorship approval.

I was about to actually. I took the CELPIP test even (most expensive test I've ever had to take!). Then it turns out all my contracts that I worked with under PGWP were freelance contracts. I'm self-employed. I'm a video editor so I will only get freelance contracts, always. Turns out (found out...

omg thank you. exact same situation, and when I told him last night what I was thinking... yes, thank you.

I believe the reason for many people (maybe not yours) for applying spousal PR is to be able to build a life together with the person you married in the same country. Building a life includes building a career, for people who are interested in contributing to the household. It wouldn't be fair...

Applying outland required us to pay like 500 dollars from the sponsor, while inland was only 75? Were we completely mistaken?

No you're right, you're completely right. Some weeks are easier than others. Staying with him is worth it, I know that's why I made my decision. Thanks. (just the fact that you're voicing your opinions helps. thank you.)
