    OHIP - when can my spouse apply?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. It's about 7 months since my original post and my wife finally got her AIP letter today (OWP was approved earlier this week and she doesn't have a job yet, so the AIP will be what gets her OHIP). I have a follow up question for those of you who know. On the OHIP...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    Did you get your OWP sent back and had to resubmit? We are March applicants and had to resubmit in early Oct. Wife just got it approved on Feb. 15. If you have been waiting longer than this (4 months) I would try calling them.

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    My wife just received approval today on her re-submitted OWP (submitted Oct. 8th). On GCKey it says approved Feb. 15th, but she hasn't received an email yet. Does anyone know what comes after they approve the OWP? Will they just sent it to us in the mail within a few days?

    Thanks for the reply with the details, Ude. Really appreciate it. We followed your advice and called IRCC. The gentleman told us that there's been a backlog of WebForm documents that they are working through, but that they have our docs and they will confirm/update our application soon. My...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    Calling on any March inland applicant who had to submit additional proof of cohabitation/relationship documents. Wondering when you submitted these forms, and when (if) IRCC updated your application acknowledging receipt of the additional docs? We submitted ours Jan. 4th via webform but still no...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    Oh, I didn't know it usually took that long. Hopefully then they will get to it by next week since that will be 4 weeks. We were starting to get concerned that there wasn't a status update on GCKey and was wondering if our documents somehow didn't make it to our file when we sent it via webform.

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    On ECAS, my side (sponsor) has decision made and I received an email confirmation that I was approved as sponsor. My wife (PA)'s side however still has "In Process" and that her application began processing on Jan. 19th. Does this mean that she has AIP? On GCKey, it says that they are still...

    Hi Mirh, I think many of us are/were making similar mistakes when trying to link our applications on GCKey. Try following the instructions at the below link carefully. They worked nicely for my wife...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    We also got a request for additional documents (proof of cohabitation/relationship). We uploaded our documents yesterday via webform as the IRCC letter requested. We weren't going to bother uploading via GCKey also but now I'm wondering if we should(?).

    About inadmissible spouse sponsorship

    Yes, we are on a forum full of people trying to come to Canada... legally, via an established and fair process. I think the vast majority of people are happy with and respect this, myself included, which is why we are happy to help each other out on this forum as we navigate this process. My...

    About inadmissible spouse sponsorship

    The government's general nonchalant attitude towards those disgraceful behaviours (i.e. the instances of anchor babies in BC, them calling illegal immigration from the US into Quebec and Manitoba, "irregular" migration) has unfortunately not helped in the slightest.

    Inland Feb 2020. Proof of Relationship: Evidence of cohabitation

    We are actually in the process of moving now -- I was going to only have my name on the bills since I'm the only one working and who will be paying the bills, but now since receiving this letter I will ask the utility companies to add her name. Same thing with a joint bank account. We were...

    Inland Feb 2020. Proof of Relationship: Evidence of cohabitation

    My wife received the same letter yesterday asking for more proof of relationship/cohabitation. When we sent in our application (early March) she had only been in Canada for about a week, so the only document she had with our common address on it was her private health insurance. We had sent...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    Your earlier post inspired me to try linking my wife's application and it worked. Thanks!! I linked it via her name/passport info and it found her OWP that I was able to link it to. I'm still surprised that we haven't received any emails about it; we were waiting for this before attempting to...

    *** March 2020 INLAND Spouse Sponsorship ***

    Thanks for the info awthabit. May I ask how you linked your OWP? I was under the impression that we had to receive an email from the Edmonton office acknowledging receipt of the OWP, and that they would send us a separate UCI# which we can use to link it. Did you just use the same UCI#...

    Are you in the group of people that got their OWP returned to you? Just wondering as that happened with my wife and we still have no notice that they have received our re-submitted application...

    Good to know. I see that some early Feb applicants have received approval, so hopefully that bodes well for March applicants.
