Haha, this forum is a team effort my friend. :)

The implied status in this case is implied as a worker, not defaulting back to a visitor because they are applying for the same kind of permit (work permit). You maintain the status as a worker and can continue to work under the conditions of the original work permit. From...

To be honest, I wouldn't put too much faith in what this particular CIC phone operator has to say. Sounds like a frustrating call, I don't envy you, but it sounds like they are just following a script. About the SIR, that should be clearly indicated on the notes. I thought you had finally...

Yeah, you'll be ok. Nothing was redacted in my notes.

We didn't because we didn't think there would be anything interesting in there, but yes, you can request the notes on the sponsor.

Privacy Act. But in this case you should act as if you are your wife and then have your 'wife' ask for herself. She doesn't need to be a Canadian Citizen to ask, she only needs to be inside of Canada. I think the wording is 'Person in Canada' or something like that in the drop-down menu.

Depends what you are comparing to. Faster than 1 year ago? - Maybe. Faster than outland? - not likely except for some slow offices like Pakistan

Careful, you're in Canada now, which can be hyper-sensitive about cultural appropriation. That costume can potentially get you in trouble in the same way that wearing a native headdress can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is the society we live in.

Come on man, give us an actual prediction! Hard to be wrong with soft calls like this. I predict a repeal of Condition 51.

Ouch. I think you might be out of luck. If you just apply for spousal sponsorship you will put in the queue like anyone else. Sounds like a special case to me. I don't recommend inland if you can avoid it unless her OWP is expiring and you want to get her another one as part of the pilot program.

FYI CPC Vegreville is being shut down and moved to Edmonton. I don't expect much productive work to be coming out of this case processing center. It's basically the only thing the town has. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/vegreville-immigration-federal-government-edmonton-jobs-1.3826058

This is great news especially with your out-of-status situation when you applied. Hopefully that provides some clarity to some of the silent members on this board who might be in the same situation.

One cannot even enter Canada at all with a DUI within the last 10 years.

I feel like it says that for all of us. Has been at least 4 months for me so far.

Oh yeah, you're right.

You don't technically have to do anything until the child is born. If you haven't done the medical yet, you should obviously inform the doctor when you do so that you can skip the x-ray part. After the child is born you would need to submit a new Family Information Form (IMM5707). Also, congrats.

There's nothing useful on ECAS for the sponsor. It is pretty difficult for someone not to qualify as a sponsor so I really wouldn't worry about it. You're already in the SIR so the primary applicant is being processed before having to wait for SA anyway.

Those courses aren't vocational training, those are are 1 or 2 day sessions, which is not what the government is trying to stop you from doing. My colleague on a work permit just did a first aid course; no problem. I think you are all good to go here. Congrats on finding a job so fast.

If I was stuck in Cambridge, Ontario I would feel the same way. Might as well be in Vladivostok. I would rather live in Moscow, why didn't you move there instead of the other way around? You can get a residence permit immediately and citizenship in 3 years. Moscow is cool. Anyway, I'm sure you...

Haha, ironic that she would choose to celebrate being granted immigration status in a country by immediately booking a ticket to leave. Doesn't say too much for Canada.
