Hi, Sorry for the long post but I just want to be detailed. I was advised to resend my photos last month (March 7th) which I did. They received it on March 14th (based on tracking number) but when I called the contact center today, they said that they received it March 28th. I was wondering...

Hi, I was trying to link my PR card (first/after landing) application but the system couldn’t find any result. I tried different combinations such as last name/application number, uci number/name, etc but none seems to work. I became a PR last January 23 and they asked me to resend a photo a...

Hi, We are applying via common-law stream. I just received an interview invite. Could anyone share the process and what to expect? How long does it usually take? It says to bring my sponsor to the interview, would we be interviewed together or separately?

Hi, I sent my passport to Ottawa last week as per CIC's request to stamp it with a TRV. They received it last Friday May 5. I enclosed a prepaid return envelope as well and I haven't heard back from them. I was just wondering how long it takes for them to stamp it and return it because I...

Hi, I just recently received AOR from CIC. I was just wondering how I'd get updates for the OWP application or if it's moving at all? I didn't receive an application ID for it. Also, I tried to link my inland application to my CIC account by searching the application ID but it doesn't give me...

Hi, I just filed my sponsorship application. I wanted to go volunteer but they want a background check in Canada. I'm currently on TRV as a tourist. Would I actually get a background check from Canada's government? It's an online request and it asks for your old address if you haven't lived at...

Hi, I've submitted my PR application to CIC. I wish to volunteer for a summer camp. I'm holding a TRV. They are requesting for background check. I was just wondering if that's possible since I don't think I'm in their police system. Also, would they add me to the system if they don't find me...

Hi, I just submitted my inland application. I was just wondering: How would you get confirmation from CIC that they received your documents? How many days after receipt before it's guaranteed that it won't be returned to me (for reasons like missing documents, signature, photo, etc.)? I used...

Hi, My partner wrote a letter explaining that if we get letters from their side, we'll send them in. Is it ok to send and update application documents? Or should we remove that line? We have letters from friends included though (from my side).

Hi, I'm submitting the application in a few days. I was just wondering how the documents should be arranged. I followed the order in the checklist but the checklist itself is in the middle of the list. Should I place it on top or right where it is in the checklist? I'm also not very sure where...

I read that they would reject the application if it were not to their standards. I had my photo taken but I noticed that my bangs are slightly covering my eyebrows. Is that ok? It's not specified in their requirements.

Hi, I'm submitting my application next week and I just wanted to confirm what I should pay for. Sponsorship: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/order.do?category=15 Without dependents, I should only pay "Sponsor your spouse or partner"? Open work permit...

Hi, My partner and I are sending our sponsorship application in the next few days. A few questions came to my mind while I was compiling them: 1. We currently have over 400+ pages and we included some bank statements. The bank statements for 6 months are already 150 pages. We're not really sure...

Hi, Is the new package any better than the old one? I'm applying for inland and I'm not sure which way to go: I couldn't secure 2 letters from friends. Currently, I have just one notarized from a friend that knows of our relationship but hasn't met my sponsor. It seems like it's not required...

Hi, Does anyone know the current processing time of the work permit for inland application? Last time I heard it was 4 months. I checked the processing time on CIC's website and it says for Work Permit, it's 12 weeks. There are some exclusions and it has instructions to check Work Permit (New...

Hi, I changed a date in the application form which has been validated. I was just wondering if it's ok to change something and validate again? I don't know if there's some sort of code that gets embedded to the form permanently after validation or something. Should I redo a blank form?

Hi, I found the site where I can pay the sponsorship application fee. My questions are: 1. I'm being sponsored as a common-law without any dependents. Is the total fee is $1040? 2. Where can I pay the application for the OWP? Is it $255 or $155? I want to make sure that I pay and include the...

Hi, I understand that CIC won't be issuing OWP after Dec 22. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2015-12-11.asp We're applying for inland sponsorship soon and my question is: Should CIC confirm reception of the application before Dec 22? What's the latest date I could submit...

Hi, I was just wondering if the statutory declarations are required from family or friends? We are applying for common-law sponsorship and I don't know if we could get these letters. The best we could probably get is from neighbors saying that we are staying together. Would immigration actually...

Hi, I was just wondering how accurate the website is when it says 50 days for online application for visa extension. Would I get it the results on the 50th day or around 40th? I'm just a bit worried because I'll be applying for inland sponsorship first week of December. By that time, the...
