We are in the same boat as others. On Monday we got that same generic email requesting more documents, which we sent back the same day. Today our status in Ecas changed from Application received to In Process! We are loving this 5 weeks to decision made idea, but who knows? I will just be happy...

Has anyone had any experience with submitting a student permit application from within north America. As in sending it by mail to the VAC in LA? I'm trying to understand what needs to be sent and how to go about paying fees. Can anyone give me some tips on how their process went?

Has anyone does the opposite? My husband and I have an outland application that we submitted in April. He's come to Canada as a visitor, which expired on October 30th. He's been accepted as an international student at a school here. Anyone have any experience in having status changed to student...

He was an international student in the US for 5 years which gave him a one year work permit after graduation, status has since then expired and he is now in Canada with me as a visitor. He is from Mali, West Africa.

Thanks! That worked! Althought no change atm, only that application was received. And they've got my husband's first name as his last name and vice versa. Any idea how long a transfer from Mississaugua to CPC would normally take? Will I get a notification that CPC has received the application?

HI Everyone, My husband and I have applied outland april 1st 2015. We received sponsorship approval on June 17th and told our application was going to be processed by CPC-Ottawa. We provided medicals up front and have recently received FBI clearance that we requested back in Feb. We sent off...

Another question, can we apply for both outland PR sponsorship and a student visa? Then, he can enter the country as a student instead of a visitor and go to school while we wait for his PR to come thru? It does mean paying international student fees, and making two visa applications but I am...

He already has a visitor visa that is valid until 2017, if he was to leave the country after we applied, would he not be able to enter again on that visitor visa? Or is his visitor status annulled because he is applying for PR inland. He is a malian citizen currently residing in the USA, would...

Thanks!

Thank you all for your help and advice! So no one is saying to apply for a student visa... Ouf, feeling a bit discouraged at all that the process involves. I am basically sure that I will have a husband at home not being able to work for 4-6 months MINIMUM (this will NOT be fun!). As for...

Thanks for the clarification!

Yes! I read about the pilot OWP ... Are they basically saying that they will issue work permits 4 months after they receive our application? what are the chances that we will actually obtain an OWP in 4 months? So if we apply in May he should have the right to work by September? Seems a bit too...

It does make sense. He has been in the US for 5 years now but as a student. If he is a resident here (USA) and I understand correctly I send our application directly to Ottawa and that it is up to them to choose where it will be processed? Will they ship it off to Mali or an embassy in the US or...

My issue with applying outland now is, his status in the US expires in May of this year. So if we apply now but don't hear back before May. He will be able to enter Canada as a visitor but that's it. When that 6 month period ends, he will no longer have any status in the US to return to and will...

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen who married a citizen of Mali (West Africa) in October 2014, in Montreal, Quebec. Since being married, I have been in the US as a visitor. He completed his studies in the US and is on a one year work permit that will expire in May 2015. Our plan is to return to Canada...

My boyfriend is from Mali, West Africa. He is currently studying Business Administration on a student visa at a college in Midland, Texas. In the next two years, he is hoping to complete his bachelor's in business. Once he graduates we would really like for him to move here and obtain PR. Just...
