When you get the forms and steps, there are checkboxes around whether you are going to visit a family member who is a Canadian citizen, or who is a temporary resident. Is there any difference in how visas are processed or considered if we choose one or the other? Should she pick visiting a...

Unless you live in Quebec!! We're still waiting. There was one update in June - the medical visit was extended, from April 2024 to April 2025.

Hi everyone, I'm a canadian citizen, and currently sponsoring my wife for PR (inland). We got married in 2022 with a simple ceremony at the court house with my immediate family and my wife's closest friends, with the full intention that we would wait a year or two and then do a proper wedding...

Oh wow, that sucks! The IRCC letter that says to do the Quebec paperwork IS the invitation. As soon as IRCC tells you to do it, you must.

Ours got approved August 5! And we got it in the mail this week. It was requested in April.

Yes, we got AIP end of June. Regarding RAMQ, here's what we did... When we received the CSQ (end of April), the paperwork there seemed to imply we could go ahead and apply for things like RAMQ. So we booked a call with RAMQ to register, they confirmed on the phone we would only be eligible with...

I guess? We went to the US for our honeymoon (before submitting the PR) and there were no problems coming back to Canada. Anyway, now the situation is the following. Her OWP was approved, and they also gave her an eTA..... even though her country is not eligible for eTA? Not sure what's...

We included ours even though it was an electronic invite as well.

March 2022?

Open Work Permit approved today!! It had been sent on April 4th - took 127 days in total. My wife had a student permit that was expiring in August so this is very timely! Also RAMQ confirmed she will get her card for medicare for September 1 :)

The RAMQ agent told us we could apply once the AIP was obtained, the AOR was not enough.

Yes, all the steps went fast so far. AIP is the eligibility completed, but the background check is still undergoing. Even if that goes through, with the Quebec situation right now, no clue when the PR will actually be approved.... But, in the meantime, as inland, we will have OWP, and the...

So some of what I'm writing are things that I don't know if they are indeed confirmed, but they seem to make sense. - The processing time looks back at past requests and tells you how long it took them to assess 80% of the requests. It's an indicator of what happened recently, not necessarily...

Hi! Here's how we answered. We got our CSQ approved back in April. I'm the Sponsor (Canadian citizen) - spousal inland application. 546GF: - I put my date of birth - Section 2 is about the spouse of the Sponsor. Therefore this is you - so even if it seems illogical or redundant, you should...

BC is examplary in that they post the information clearly and publicly as to whom can quality, and they basically allow anyone who has applied to have coverage. No such luck in Québec- won't be considered before getting the AIP, and even for that, we had to schedule a telephonic interview to...

I got my first car recently. When getting the insurance, they were ok with my wife still having her home country's license, understanding that within a year she should get the Quebec license. She is the principal driver of our car so we really wanted to ensure we were properly covered. Other...

I didn't want to start a new thread just for this question but... What does the AIP letter look like exactly? Any recent examples? We just received a mailed letter confirming the PA's eligibility (we also received the SA email recently). Does not say anywhere in there they are approved in...

I'm not familiar enough with this to have on opinion if this is a good enough justification. The website mentions it must be a serious reason and they give a few examples. https://www.etatcivil.gouv.qc.ca/en/change-name.html What's good is that it's free to submit a request for the preliminary...

Hi everyone, I'm sponsoring my wife as inland- spousal and we're currently at the Background Check stage of the process (see timeline in signature). We did not use a lawyer. She currently has status as an international student - expiring Aug 31st but, depending on where we are in the PR...

No, they don't require the full Sponsor Approval. They just require what you received - the invitation from IRCC to apply for the CSQ. You can go ahead and complete this step! Don't wait!
