hey got the AOR on April 21!

My husband had a job as a TFW so he would have benefited from implied status only he was laid off along with everyone else at his job after it was sent. *snort* Since it was already out the door and I'd already shelled out the money, it was one of those "oh well" moments. I don't have the $$$ to...

Why not get the documents together as best you can and pay a lawyer to review them to make sure they are all in order before sending them in? That way you have the benefit of a second pair of eyes and some advice without paying a lot to have someone else to manage the process for you.

You can add me to the spreadsheet too.. Applied for Inland sponsorship APP send: March 11, 2015 CIC received:Marc 16, 2015 Visa Office: Mississauga Country of origin: UK Canada city of residence: Vancouver, BC OWP: Sent to Vegreville as application to renew/change conditions on existing work...

Campana specifically says they can't rely solely on a policy manual to justify a decision if it is not supported by the law. Their own policy manual says it too. I totally understand not wanting to go to court but the being out of status and potentially in trouble with the CIC is pretty awful...

oh and one final thing. because I haven't rambled on enough obviously... If you want to satisfy yourself that I am not pulling ideas out of my proverbial behind then read Campana Campana v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2014 FC 49 (CanLII) available on the canlii website for free...

CIC officers make unsupportable decisions all the time. With respect to in Canada spousal applications, your only avenue of appeal is a judicial review to the Federal Court so you would expect that at least one of these IEC extenders who was allegedly caught for working because they were under...

I just love how people who don't have ANY training repeatedly claim that call centre agents and lawyers are idiots without considering that, in fact, they may not understand the rules as well as they think. This idea that you can't extend an work permit issued under IEC/PGWP under any...
