Hello, Im currently in the middle of applying for an OWP via an Online Application and Im a little confused as to how I should scan my little passport picture for them ??? This is the guide they give you when you press the help button: Document: Digital Photo Close Dimensions: The...

I meant delete the topic lol not my life.

Hello, Im currently in Canada and my visa has already expired. I spoke to a CIC person on the phone about family sponsoring. He told me I had to fill out a visitor visa app, the inland sponsor app (because thats the route we are taking) and also I should apply for an OWP. He sent me...

Ok this is getting totally confusing now lol. Ok so if i choose Inland ill have a wait of about 6 months before I can work but at the same time im not allowed to leave the country. Plus the process takes a lot longer than outland. If I choose outland its quicker but I cant work until the...

Well I was told by the guy on the phone I could apply for both at the same time. Visitor and Sponsor but he didnt tell me which sponsor he meant but as you say if he mentioned an OWP then we have to assume its inland. Surely If I can apply for Inland at the same time as visitor then I must be...

Oh! Hmmmm so how would this work then? I send the visitors app to vegreville and the 'outland' sponsorship app to missisaugga? (Can never spell that place! lol).

Thanks for the suggestion Sweden. My question regarding outland though is that when do I get a work permit? Because with Inland you can apply and get one after your app reaches first stage which means 3 - 4 months? Now is that the same for outland or not?

Thanks guys! Ill be sure to keep you all updated on this forum! Also thanks again for all your advice, I had a much better weekend because of it.

Hello all, I thought I would post a quick reply letting everyone know my current situation. So, I called CIC asking them the details on why my app for an extension to my work permit was refused and basically the extension could only be done from within the UK and not within Canada? So anyways...

Yeah, I think your correct Sweden. Thanks for your advice mate.

Hey, Wow thanks for that useful post. I had no idea my visa wasn't extendable? In the acceptance email I received from the IEC and on the back of the visa itself it gives you a number to call to extend the permit so i assumed that this was the case. No where did I read that the visa wasnt...

Ok so If i was to arrive in Canada on 1st Feb and we sent off our application on the 2nd then I would be classed as having implied status until we recieve acceptance or refusal? Sorry im probably being stupid here but I just want to be completely sure. Thanks for your reply!

Regarding this quote: - 'The inland application would be sent to Vegreville and if all goes well, you would get a first stage approval, usually in 6 to 8 months.' If im in Canada as a visitor then im only allowed in for up to 6 months? How do I avoid leaving the country if this is the case? Do...

DELETE ME Sorry mods :(

Quoting from the post you sent:- The inland application would be sent to Vegreville and if all goes well, you would get a first stage approval, usually in 6 to 8 months. Doesn't that suggest that Inland is faster in terms of me being able to work? If i send in the app for a work permit at the...

Cats: That sounds awful Cats! Really puts things into perspective for the rest of us. Im happy you managed to get it sorted out though. Well my CLP is all too happy to sponsor me for like 6 - 8 months and im sure more if it comes to it but its not really feasible for her to sponsor me for 2...

Cats: I was on a holiday work visa correct but I met my gf in 2009 and we were in a long distance relationship up until I got the holiday work visa and then we moved into an apartment together (to test the waters so to speak lol). So if i book a plane ticket for say Feb 15th and have proof of...

We really appreciate your help Cats! :D We have a joint rental agreement on our apartment, I have a Canadian driving license, we purchased our car together and the insurance is in both our names, we are meant to be flying to Mexico together in April for her brothers wedding and up until today...

Thanks ill take a look at that post. We don't have any children and neither of us have any criminal background or medical problems whatsoever. We do plan on getting married one day but we were hoping we could get married after im fully emigrated into Canada. So there hasn't been any real plans...

Thanks for all the info. This forum has become our research lol. My common-law partner wants to sponsor me but we were struggling to find the terms of a sponsorship for example can I work during this process. We literally got this letter an hour ago and are now scurrying around the net trying...
