That's great - did you have to use any of the tricks described in other threads? Putting a space after words, only capitalizing the first letter of words, etc? This system seems really sensitive so we have no idea if we are inputting things in ways the system rejects or our application is...

That's great - what did you link with? I called to get application number and temporary UCI but can't link with either. We also haven't gotten AOR yet and are Nov 22 applicants.

Sorry for slow reply - my kids had Canadian citizenship already when they arrived with my wife so there was no issue with them getting entry or enrolling them in school. Are you able to get your kids citizenship before you arrive, so you have one less thing to worry about? There is some kind of...

That's great - did you use application number and passport info or city of birth?

That's great - we called IRCC and got my wife's application number and a temporary UCI but neither seem to be working in ECAS or GCKey to find the application. Not sure how we have an application number if it's not in the system yet, perhaps decision not yet made on whether we get AOR or not...

Congrats! We're Nov 22nd applicants so unlikely to get AOR till next year it seems. For ECAS, do you register sponsor or PA's name, date of birth etc for the info section, as per your identity documents?

We're preparing my wife's OWP application now (already submitted PR inland in November, didn't apply for OWP then due to a bad decision and still waiting for AOR on that application) and trying to understand how best to do the IMM5710 form. For the Details of Intended Work in Canada section -...

Yes I believe your consultant is correct - your wife needs to be in Canada in order to apply for inland. I think you are well-prepared though so try not to stress too much. Just my opinion, but honesty is always the best policy with IRCC and CBSA. Don't volunteer loads of information unprompted...

No worries, we found it stressful too. My wife came alone with our two kids, I met her at the airport. I'd recommend doing that so she can tell CBSA someone is there right away for her. She had a one way ticket but copy of my bank balance with sufficient funds for living, onward travel, etc...

My wife arrived in August same way you are planning - she came on a visitor visa, told CBSA she was arriving with dual intent, had copies of our marriage certificate, letter authorizing her to travel with our kids, etc. It was all fine but where she ran into an issue is CBSA asked how long she...

Thanks - my wife is on a visitor visa now which expires in early February. Is this status sufficient for the OWP application?

We submitted my wife's PR application inland in November without requesting OWP, still waiting for AOR. We're now regretting the decision not to apply for OWP as well. Is it possible to submit separate application for OWP now? Or would we have to wait till we get AOR for PR? Would applying...

Thanks - did they ask you to resubmit it or did you send it voluntarily after you realized there was an error?

Thanks - it was accepted?

It seems people also can upload new or revised Schedule A documents sometimes. I wonder how that works if the signature is required - IRCC will still accept that in scanned form? We have to change our Schedule A due to an error and I'm now trying to figure out best way to send it.

Thanks - there is no separate travel history in the Schedule A and it's not an additional document she's required to submit (at least at this point). However to err on the side of caution, I think we'll include all her short travels in the personal history section - maybe overkill but at least...

Thanks for this! If I can continue to trouble you: do you think IRCC wants all travel, vacation etc reported in Personal History? Ex: when my wife came to Canada for a two week visit, when we went to London for a week, etc? I'm unclear how much data is needed and don't want to overwhelm them and...

@legalfalcon: sorry I forgot to ask: in your experience is IRCC open to receiving amended documents via web form that applicants submit, if they feel there is an error? I'm wondering if IRCC will consider a revised Schedule A if we submit it right after we get AOR, or if they only consider...

Thanks this is helpful. I think we will wait for AOR then raise a CSE and submit a revised Schedule A just to be cautious. I'd rather bring this up before BGC is initiated or IRCC questions this.
