    What is a legal immigration status

    Having a legal immigration status simply means you are not in the country illegally. He should be aware of whether or not he is there legally.

    Outland Spousal - Principal Applicant - Pregnant - After medical

    You are not required to notify IRCC until after the baby is born. Pregnancy has no impact on spousal sponsorship applications, so if you were to inform IRCC of the pregnancy, they would not do anything with the information (it would be useless to them). They only need to know about it if it will...

    How should I follow up on this?

    Doesn't sound like there is anything to follow up on. Just upload the Schedule A into that slot on your Gckey. When they requested it and there wasn't a slot on your online account, you could have just immediately submitted it via the webform instead (that's one of the main purposes of the...

    Open work permit for Outland Spousal Sponsorship Applicants

    Based on what you just stated, I am 99% sure that either a) You actually checked inland on your application checklist, or b) IRCC is mistakenly processing your application as inland instead of outland (if you did indeed check outland). Outland applications within Canada are processed the exact...

    Withdrawing Spousal Sponsorship

    In general, no, they will not send the application back. If sponsor was already approved, the only fee they would be refunded is the $490 RPRF. They can apply any time after withdrawing, no need to wait, but I'm not sure why they would apply immediately after withdrawing. Are they switching...

    Can you apply for an Open Work Permit if you come to Canada on an eTA?

    Hi, First to clarify, she won't be in Canada "on an eTA" - she will be in Canada as a visitor. The eTA simply allows her to board a plane to Canada, nothing more, it doesn't have anything to do with her status in Canada or how long she is allowed to stay. When she arrives, she can ask to stay...

    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    Again, it depends on the state, but most likely yes. It has nothing to do with whether they are expired or not. Typically, mailing back your plates is the only way your state’s DMV is made aware that you have moved elsewhere and are not driving around with expired plates and registration...

    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    Glad to help! The process varies by state, so you’ll have to check on your state’s DMV website. I returned mine by mail.

    Open work permit for Outland Spousal Sponsorship Applicants

    No, we aren’t wrong. If your wife was issued an OWP, that was a huge oversight by IRCC and I wouldn’t mention it to anybody, as she was definitely NOT eligible to apply for an OWP. You have gotten extremely lucky, in fact, you should probably go buy a lottery ticket. Please see this link...

    Ohip for new permanent residence ?

    Not correct, at least not for Ontario. Many other provinces do it this way, but OHIP is 90 days no matter what.

    Inland Spousal application ... need info please.

    The OWP is almost never denied unless there are serious criminality issues or issues with previously working illegally. If that doesn't apply to you, there is no reason for you to consider that possibility

    Background/Security checks time period?

    Sounds like your application is right on track. With him having received pre-arrival services last month, he will probably get DM relatively soon. The background check is the last phase of the application process and there is no set time that it takes, but receiving the pre-arrival services...

    Inland Spousal application ... need info please.

    1) Correct 2) Sort of correct. The PR application doesn't give you implied status; the OWP application does. The OWP is issued in 4 months. So if your study permit happened to expire within those 4 months, you would be on implied status till your OWP was issued. After the OWP is issued, your...
