Cheers buddy.

Hehehe. Like most people I was trusting her word because it was CIC's word. Until now of course. It really just blows my mind that the official source of information isn't official at all. But I just don't have the heart to tell her that because she has given me so much of her time! Time to go...

Where should I write "Spousal OWP - Please process after AIP"? Other than that, I gotcha *nods* and thank you. I want to do things as properly as possible. I'm actually getting her assistance for free too! But unlike this forum she deals with all sorts of topics and so her learning curve on...

PS. I think this information has now wandered off topic from the title, so if anyone reckons this may help others let me know and I'll create a new thread.

Y'know what the most infuriating thing is? My representative told me, presumably after CIC helpline told her, not to trust such forums as this either! But honestly, this forum has been the saviour of my sanity, because we are the one's who have been through the process, or are currently going...

Thanks for the info. Tomorrow (Monday 27th) I will get in touch with my representative and ask her to provide in writing, from CIC, that: On an IEC visa, one can apply for PR and OWP at the same time, 30 days before IEC visa expiry, and be granted 'Implied Status' and therefore be able to...

Yes yes it's me again :) Thanks again for all the information. As I said I have been working closely with an office of parliament from my local area in Canada, and my contact has been respresenting me when phoning CIC for information, which is a load of help because I have never, ever, ever...

Hey Sweden, Many thanks for the info. Unfortunately I have to take the completely opposite direction to what you have suggested, due to some new info that I've just got. Because I want to apply for an 'Open Work Permit' at the same time as applying for Sponsorship/PR, CIC have advised me to...

So I did the first rule which is read the stickies! My wife wants to sponsor me to stay in Canada, and I am currently in Canada on an IEC 2012. According to the sticky, I can choose Outland or Inland. I would like to choose Outland. But on this page of the CIC website, under 1. Get the...

Whilst worrying away I figured it would help if I clarified a few things. Your help is much appreciated! My IEC 2012 visa is not extendible, so I cannot get 'implied' status and continue working in Canada if I send my PR application in early. Therefore it wouldn't be beneficial for me to post...

Thank you heaps, I feel a lot more organised now :)

I'd just like to say that you and the other guys here have done me a world of help already, thank you! Fully understand what you are saying but another question arose... My IEC 2012 will expire June 16th 2013. Application for LMO sent away in March, 2-10 weeks processing time, been about 6...

Thanks for all the information. Sorry if I'm contradicting you here, but I was recently working closely with the office of an MP in the Okanagan region, and they informed me that if I send my application for Permanent Residency in, 30 days before my IEC expiry date, I will indeed be granted...

Cheers for that, Last year when I did an FBI check for my IEC 2012, I did not receive anything such as a receipt from them until my completed Police Check came through the mail. Did you just make a special request to receive a receipt, or perhaps just do recorded delivery with my courier to...

Hey there, your post somehow slipped by me unnoticed! But thank you for your reply. So I currently need to get myself a UK, Australia and USA police check sorted. But I should be safe in sending my application off, provided I have receipts or proof of application for them? Another question...

Thanks again all for the additional information, From previous experience with these police checks I can only anticipate at this point the worst case scenerio, which is I will definitely not be able to send in the sponsorship application in time, before my IEC visa expires. Assuming this...

Thank you Zardos. I was expecting this to be the case, I just wanted to hear someone say it to me! Ach well one could only hope, time to get down to business I guess.

Hi there all, new poster here :) I'll cut to the chase. I am from Scotland, UK and am here in Canada on an IEC 2012 (Working Holiday) visa, which expires mid-June 2013. My fiance, a Canadian citizen, and I are getting married this month, and we are currently preparing our application forms...
