Our E-CAS changed today as well: We received your application for permanent residence on September 12, 2011. We started processing your application on July 25, 2012. Medical results have been received. A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning...

Wanted to let you guys know that my wife got her Open Work Permit / AIP on July 25, 2012, and CIC had received her application originally on Sept. 12, 2011. And to answer the above question, we ended up transferring the entire application to the 'Bar-Code' version. Originally we had done it on...

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can advise on this, but if you could, it would be much appreciated! So my wife (applicant) and I (sponsor) applied for her PR back in Sept. 2011, with her home country's passport that expires at the end of October 2012. When we initially applied, the processing times...

Exactly what Canadiancitizen stated above.. And a bonus is that you get a nice tax break if your spouse didn't work at all, which is the general case with our spousal-class immigration anyways. So ya, make sure you mark yourself down as married. Turbotax is some pretty good online software that...

Hey Missha, I've looked into this, as I'm sponsoring my wife. She can't get a SIN yet (As far as I know...), as she doesn't have AIP.. But I believe that if you do have a SIN, or can get a temporary SIN, you should file your taxes, even if you have no income for the year. I had bookmarked this...

Ya, I got no useful information from my lawyer either... In the end, I got frustrated and called CIC myself. It was no hassle at all to do, and only took about 15 minutes total for the call. The CIC agent sorted me out with my ID number without any issue, and that worked right away with E-Cas...

I'm really not sure... I hope so, but it's not showing up in our E-Cas if so. When I get some time, I'll give CIC a call to find out.

Hey waitingitout, I had the same problem with my official receipt number, not being able to login and view our status. I ended up calling the CIC, and after asking a few questions to confirm my identity (as the sponsor), they gave me the Client ID number for our application. I put the Client ID...

Great, thanks for the info Sievo! We haven't received any information yet from CIC, although I'm not sure if we will since we used a representative. I just found out that our Application date was Sept.9, 2011, so it's likely just a matter of waiting a few more weeks..

Hi everyone, My wife and I have begun the Inland Application process for her Permanent Residence in Canada, with me being the sponsor. We're going through a lawyer because of a bad experience we had in 2010 when she applied for a Live-In Caregiver Temporary Permit, so we're hoping it all goes a...

Ah that's too bad.. seems their guidelines should be more explicit about what constitutes Early Childhood Education. Thanks for the responses though. And I'm thinking about calling up the Embassy soon to see if they can fill in a few of the details as well. If I find out anything more about her...

From the "OP 14 - Processing Applicants for the Live-In Caregiver Program" PDF (cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op14-eng.pdf), it is stated that (pg.6): "Work experience must be in a field or occupation related to the employment sought. For example, prospective live-in caregivers may...

Yes, she had all the the records of employment for the past 3 years from the different schools, as well as references from all of them, stating that she had been an English teacher for small children. And it was all paid work at the institutions, so we have no idea why it was unacceptable.. Did...

I'm from Canada, with my Fiancée from Buenos Aires, Argentina. After being apart for 2 years now after meeting during University in Canada, we ran into some luck with my new work, where my Manager and his wife were looking to hire her as a Live-In Caregiver for 2 years, which would have been...

Hi, Quick question for anyone willing to help out... Me and my fiance (from Argentina) are considering applying for Inland Permanent Resident status for her, but are trying to decide if this is the right option. In your opinion, is this a worthwhile choice considering that it may be around a...

Me and my fiance (of 2 years) are looking at the options associated with an Inland PR Visa application, but have a couple of questions on the process... She would be coming to Canada on a 6-month Visitor Visa, where would get legally married as soon as possible to start the immigration process...

Ok good news. I'll read over everything and see how it looks. thanks again!

Many thanks again for the information! One more question: Would a lawyer be recommended in either the inland/out-of-land processing cases? I am currently looking for one, but as I haven't filled out the forms, I'm not sure of the extent to which I would need a lawyer?

That is great news! Couple of extra questions though... Would she need a job offer in the first to get the 'open work permit' after first stage approval? Or would this just allow her to work anywhere after being obtained? As well, in the case that an interview is requested and she does not get...

Situation is: My finance from Argentina has been accepted on a 6 month visitor visa to Canada. Should we consider applying for an inland application providing that we get legally married as soon as she gets into canada (me being a canadian citizen)? I noticed that Vegreville is only processing...
