I am hopeful some folks might be able to provide some advice or feedback regarding our situation. In February 2014 we submitted my wife's permanent residency application (from within Canada) and in April we received notification that my "application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has...

Unfortunately, attempting to check the status online shows no results still: Is there any other method to find the status out as it always shows the above.

Thank you guys. I am able to see the application status now. It shows "Application Received" (January 2014). I guess we are still quite a bit away from the next step (what would the next step be)?

Perhaps a ridiculous question. If we sent my wife's PR and OWP application together in January what would the "average" wait time be for the OWP portion to get processed? My assumption is that it would be issued well before the PR application is processed. Any ideas? Thank you.

Do you have to go through these hoops and pay $5 every time you want to check the status of your PR application?

We sent in the application for my wife's permanent residence and open work permit about 5 weeks ago. I realize this is still very early on but how does one check what the status/progress of an application for PR and OWP? A few friend's of my wife advised that we should be calling to find out...

Thanks. I guess in that regard we can leave "Duration of expected employment" blank. So I have we have my wife's PR documents in one big envelope and shortly the OWP about to go in another and then into one big Xpresspost envelope ready to send off to Alberta.

Thank you very much for you help. A couple of questions if I may regarding IMM5710. Details of intended work in Canada section Question #3 asks for the address, job title and description. As my wife has no idea yet where she will apply for a job I assume I can just type "unknown yet". Also it...

Mainly because I need to get her PR sent out asap but have no clue how to do the OWP at this point.

In that case could we apply electronically once Stage 1 approval is confirmed for PR?

Quite right. My apologies. She is applying inland for her permanent resident visa (family class) and I am sponsoring her (husband). Would there be any harm in applying for the OWP electronically rather than including it with the PR application?

We are almost ready to submit the application for wife's (here on a visitor visa at the moment) permanent residency. Finally! I have a question regarding work/study permit I hope someone may be able to advise on. Would you recommend to submit the application for them at the same time in the same...

I have lived in Canada over a decade ago (I am a Canadian citizen) but recently came back from Japan. I hoping that if the payslips for the last year are translated then it should be sufficient for CIC. I guess additionally it would be helpful to show a bank statement with my account balance...

Thanks very much for your reply. If I may ask, did you arrange your photos in an album or simply loose in a smaller envelope? We have ~100 photos and they are dated with details on the back. We were thinking to simply keep them in the envelope provided when they were developed and to be used...

Thank you for your reply. I thought the documents you mention above are only required for conjugal relationship, not in the case of marriage.

Yes, we completed her medical in December. My concern is if by some chance the application is denied that the medical I send with the package would get tossed and we would have to redo the medical ($200 + 50 for blood and x-ray).

I must say that skimming through this thread has me a bit intimidated as I planned to only included the following: - Completed required IMM documents with letters by each of us detailing our relationship. - Required additional documents (police check both in Canada and Japan, marriage...

We are preparing the package for my wife's PR to send this week and I am wondering if it is wisest to perhaps not include the proof of having taken the medical at this stage or not. The checklist (IMM5443) states that it is optional at this stage. My concern is that if I do include it and by...

Please correct me if I am wrong but according to this checklist proof of income for the sponsor of spouse is required unless you are form Quebec.

My wife and I have printed ~100 photographs going back the past almost decade and we are thinking to include them in the envelope with short details written on the back (dates, people in the photos, location, etc). Is this overkill or the right way to go? Also should they simply be put in a...
