Is the birth certificate written in English or French? If not, did you provide a translation for your document in either English or French?

We know that he can't leave the country. We have done all we can. We were just not aware that the OWP pilot did not count people who where out of status. My husband has been through 2 immigration lawyers. One was a fantastic lawyer and the other one was a crook. The lawyer was the cousin of...

Hubby ended up calling the Call Centre and of course we just annoyed them. They said that they have up to 16 months to send an AOR and that we shouldn't have bothered calling type deal. So decision made to sit quietly and wait for January 2016.

Alright, makes since somehow. Thanks guys!

Thank you Starry! That makes me feel a bit better! :) I was going to try Monday to verify with the Call Centre. I looked again at my husband's work permit application and I did ticked the box that said "Restoration of your status as a worker" and "An initial work permit or a work permit with a...

One last question that is still bothering me... Is it strange that I did not receive an acknowledgement letter from CIC regarding our Inland Spousal Sponsorship Application. It was sent 9 months ago and it seemed to me that people got that letter sooner that that time frame.

Thank you guys, I appreciate all your responses. You answered a lot of things that I was not aware of. Too bad we only go through this process once because we have done things a little differently.

In other words, if we get his visitors status, is he then valid for the OWP? We just have to leave Canada and come back in to get a visitor status? We are just dependent on the person who is patrolling the border that day?

A few questions come to mind... - How is the pilot suppose to help the families without a valid work permit? - Isn't there a certain rule of restoring a status with 90 days of an expired visa? - About changing a work permit to a visitors, how is it allowed to submit 2 paperwork if the Spousal...

This is my situation and I hope someone can help me out. My husband is from Germany and we got married December 22, 2012. He has been in Canada since February 5, 2008. We applied for Spousal Sponsorship Within Canada September 2014. I know that the application made it to Mississauga because...
