    No, my husband is already on an open work permit and temporary resident permit that expires Dec. 31st...now we have to figure out if we need to apply for extensions and such as we weren't expecting first stage until January. I am thinking the new bar-coded applications sped things up immensely...

    We were February 7th...and from everything I am seeing it looks like we've got our AIP. My husband was the applicant and his ECAS shows that they started processing his PR application last Monday...my ECAS for sponsoring him shows that a decision was made and a letter was sent. We haven't got...

    He only had to report for 4 months, then his TRP and work permit came. Yes, they still have his passport. Now that you're married, maybe they've just let it be to see how the PR app goes??

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

    My husband had overstayed for a very long time (almost 4 years) His ex-wife gave us a heck of a time with a divorce and in all honesty we could have done things differently but didn't know what to do, so we just rode it out. Then a small misdemeanor and a trial that we had to wait 13 months to...

    Working under the table.. what are the real risks?

    There is no minimum financial requirement needed for spousal sponsorship. My husband and I were able to prove why our situation was exceptional and how our circumstances justified the issuance of a Work Permit... All you can really do is apply. If you do it online, it really isn't that bad of a...

    Will my husband be able to add me to his Bank Account?

    We applied for PR in January, and at that point my husband went to Scotiabank. They opened the account and got it ready but wouldn't activate it until he had some kind of status, something from Immigration. They wouldn't even allow me to add him to my account. Was the lack of status in Canada...

    Hi guys, Just need some clarification here about a few things. My husband has just been approved for a OWP and a TRP until December 31st of this year. We have a PR application in the process and he is in Canada, but a minor criminality issue is from what I believe the reason that they have...

My only suggestion for going home...

    application process with overstayed wife

    Also, I want to add...as long as you haven't filed bankruptcy then you are eligible to sponsor...and there is no minimum income required to sponsor a spouse...we did all the paperwork our self...it took a long time to do and is very frustrating, but we couldn't afford a lawyer so had no choice...

    There is a new public policy about spousal overstay...My husband is in the very same boat...we had to first file for restoration of status, however, restoration of status is usually supposed to be applied for within 90 days of overstaying...and restoration of status is taking forever for them to...

    Timeline Question???

    Someone else should be able to answer this better, but shouldn't your extension application go to a different department? I had to send my husbands restoration of status separate from the PR app...??
