We wrote about 8 pages. It was basically a story from the first night we met to the filing of the application just highlighting the major things. We referenced our pictures and other proof into the story.

You do not have implied status. However, you applied inland while having status. Therefore if you have an eligible sponsor and are not otherwise inadmissable, it is CIC's policy not to remove you. You shouldn't have to worry but you should not leave Canada until your PR is granted.

Only the children need to be examined. Father, mother, brother, sisters do not. The MD will give you a receipt that you file with the application. The MD will send the medical to a CIC office which will send it to your processing office. After the medical you shouldn't have to do anything...

They will ask for a new medical or extend the medical. Our application took more than one year so the medical was extended to 2 years.

Filing a PR application does not give you implied status. This piece of wrong advice gets repeated constantly on this board. CIC has a policy of not removing out of status inland applicants so people seem to think this means they have implied status. For Inland applications, it is most...

Filing a PR application in itself does not give you implied status. You have to file an extension, or request to change your status, along with the PR application to get implied status. For Inland the most common is to file for an open work permit with the PR application. If a person does not...

Let her get processed and if she doesn't want to come then her PR visa will expire. She should get processed, get her PR visa, land and return to her home country and not come back if she doesn't want to. At least then she is giving herself a choice.

Congratulations achkorea!

You do not get implied status by filing an inland PR application in itself. You must file an open work permit application with the PR applicaton. If you are not filing your PR application before your study visa expires you should apply for a visitor permit otherwise you will be out of status...

Sorry, I understand your situation now. We applied outland although living in Canada throughout the process. We are in Calgary. I know of nothing that ties your SIN to your restricted work permit. My spouse was issued her SIN originally when she had a restricted work permit. It eventually...

We got our permanent SIN with the COPR (visa exempt). If you have a valid work permit and a SIN you can work. It doesn't matter what number it starts with. I'm not sure what your issue is? Is it that your employer doesn't want to hire you because you are not a PR?

The AHC card and paper work will not have an expiry date written on them but your Alberta Health Care will expire on the date your wife's visa expires. If you get medical services after that, you will be given an invoice. Alberta Health Services should send you a letter a month or so ahead...

Sorry, I do not know anyone who has had an interview.

Harju, how is your immigration coming along? Haven't seen you on forum for a long time. I am still hanging around. Our process has been completed for a while. It took about a year for us. Basically 10 months of hearing nothing, then a flurry of requests and eventual issuance of the visa...

The Entry/Exit Certificate is an official document from Immigration showing all movement in and out of Korea for Korean nationals (this comes in an English/Korean version or a straight Korean version; ask for the English version to avoid having to translate). Here are instructions from the US...

When we requested the extension we thought that we would only get 3 months also but their letter gave no time limit and just said our coverage will continue. In the end our PR came in about 2 months later.

even if you you have an implied status, you will lose your health benefits (I'm from Alberta and this happened to me..) We maintained our health care on implied status by advising Alberta Health Care and providing them with a copy of the application confirmation and filing receipt. They...

Do not assume that your daughter will not do it and sign a waiver just to avoid dealing with the situation. Ask her and tell her you will what is necessary to have her examined (i.e., pay for any costs etc.). If she refuses make sure you have evidence of the refusal. In some cases it is not...

As a sponsor my address was incorrect on the COPR (it was an old address that we changed midway through the process). We wrote the correct address on a piece of paper and when my spouse landed she gave it to the officer and told her the address on the COPR was wrong and here's the correct one...

When we changed our address we did it through a case specific email and by changing it on-line. I remember a statement on the website about only using the on-line change of address for inland applications but ignored it.
