    Not sure if anyone's run across this before, but if you have, please let me know. My medical was ordered on October 23rd. I called the approved doctor who is in town and the earliest they could get me in was November 22nd--30 days exactly from the date of the letter. Due to my location in BC...

    2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

    My request for a medical came through yesterday. I've read in this forum that at this point, getting the medical request, it's about half way through the application process and the background check is beginning. Is this generally accurate? I went into my CIC account today and the...

    *******July 2018******* Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    From the date of the letter for the medical request, you have 30 days to complete the medical. I scheduled my medical locally, it'll be completed on the 30th day. I had the option of traveling 4 hours if I wanted it within 2-3 weeks, but I just started a new job with my OWP, so I'm hopeful...

    Now, the wait to get the actual work permit.....? I hope that doesn't take a long time. I don't think I've seen anyone comment on it

    *******July 2018******* Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    I hope the paperwork doesn't take long to get to me, when it is approved. I wonder if it's safe to apply for jobs once the status changes

    I think they're processing early June now, so early July applicants are probably 2-3 weeks away right now.

    2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

    My husband and I drove across the border for a long weekend (3 days) and upon re-entry were asked to go inside and speak to an officer. They wanted to know what I was doing with my Canadian husband and I told them I'd applied for PR and was waiting for responses. They looked into it, said they...

    Inland vs Outland for Americans...?

    Sorry about that, I know I learned that somewhere along the way, completely forgot.

    Inland vs Outland for Americans...?

    The benefit for outland is that it's a quicker process overall, but has to be done from outside Canada. The benefit for inland is that you can apply for OWP immediately, so you can be living in Canada right away, and working 3-4 months after sending in your applications, but the PR process...

    Open Work Permit for Inland Applicants Timeline & Updates

    I've not seen a specific thread for the OWP application timelines for inland applicants. As someone who's currently (anxiously) waiting to work, I'm wondering if there are others out there who might have updates about their applications. My OWP app was sent to Mississauga, physically received...

    I used the UCI that was in the online account from my linked PR application, and my family name. I think you're okay to link it to whichever account you've linked the PR application to. The OWP should be under the PA's name, not the Sponsor, because the PA is the one applying for the OWP.
