I GOT MY AIP I GOT MY AIP I GOT MY AIP!!!!!! hahahaha this is so awesome. that feels wonderful. I hope more good news comes to those in this forum!!!!!!!! If only it weren't the morning I'd crack a beer. Coffee here I come!

ask anything, anytime. we'll be here ;)

Most definitely not, so long as your case if rather straightforward. You just need to take the time to read the application materials closely, and pose questions to people here. As you are American marrying a Canadian, you have a very clean and tidy case. I would advise against a lawyer, they...

ACK!!!! Yes I did mean Outland! Thanks DuberBlue. (twas late) hehe

am I missing something? what advice do you need? I don't see an explanation, just the word inland.

If there's not enough room on the form, type up your explanation on a separate page with the form # at the top, then attach it to the form. I don't think it should affect your application in a negative way. They want to be sure you will come if they are putting in all this work, so it will...

1. Check the CIC website for Inland/Outland apps for what documents you will need. It's a big application, better to look. 2. If you go Inland application, he can live in Canada with you, but cannot work until you get 1st stage approval and an Open Work Permit. You will need to apply for the...

This is true! When we submitted our app, stage 1 was a 6 month wait. We were the lucky ones who got to watch it skyrocket to 11 months. I have to side with Rob_TO here.

Just call the CIC phone center. The strike is over, call anytime to ask. let's hope not!

The benefits of Inland are that you can work in Canada after you receive your first stage approval (if you submit an Open Work Permit with your inland app). The downside is it takes longer than outland, and you can't leave the country. Just depends on your circumstances. For my wife...

hahahahaha

Give CIC a call, they can look into it further if it is past the estimated time online. GRats to all the AIPs and DMs. I am hoping we follow suit. Really odd to me that there seems to be nothing going on with my App, given they are now officially into Dec apps.

It depends. LMO's need to show that a Canadian can't do the work. For instance, I wanted to get an LMO for a teaching gig in Newfoundland. Unfortunately, they were laying off teachers, so clearly there were PLENTY of Canadians who could use that work. Honestly, your best bet would be to...

Hi Kellyxin, To be honest, I can't imagine that CIC wouldn't be able to work with you on this to meet a successful end. That being said, I would strongly advise contacting CIC with your particular case and inquiring which steps to take. Best of luck!

congrats lulu!

Online it just says, "Application Received", yet the woman at CIC said it says, "In Process". Yay for confusing messages!

Congrats on your union! To be honest, I would just save yourself the hassle and worry about if you did the application right, or if you need to send additional documents, and similar small worries (they build during the wait), and just change your name, then send in the application. That way...

bah! just called CIC and they said my file is still in process. they said not to expect any letters or emails as there are no notes or notices on the file. i also should call back on the 30th if i don't hear anything as that's when the 11 months is up. so frustrating!!!!!!!!

Hi AngieI! So there are a few things to consider. Will you be seeking work in Italy? Can you spouse live and work in Italy with no issues? If yes to both, I would consider Outland. It's a quicker processing time and allows you to work in your home country while you wait. If you go inland...

alright, new week. hoping for good news today!
