About LINC eligibility

[marimo]

Hello, guys nice to meet you. My name is Mariko who came from Japan and living in Ontario. I got married with Canadian guy and am waiting for immigration.
I haven't got approval of sponsor of my husband yet. But I'm wondering if I got approval of sponsor and it goes on processing for PR, can I go to LINC or other education service?

I took IELTS course last year, that time I wasn't married yet so I had to pay tuition for that. It was 350$ each month. It was not so expensive compared with ordinal ESL or other school but I was not working so it was too burden for me. So if I can take the lessons from LINC for free after my sponsors approval before being PR, I will be so glad to that.

But I read some article and LINCs explanation about eligibility, ???

Be a permanent resident of Canada, or Convention Refugee, or be a person in Canada whose application for Permanent Resident status is being processed in Canada and who has been informed by a letter from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada of the initial approval of your application subject to an admissibility assessment (this means you have approval-in-principle)
:-XIs it meaning of first letter for notice of being done most of judgement? So I have to wait to first letter? :-[

If somebody knows about that, please response for my question.

Thank you for taking a look and spending my message.

Regards, Mariko

How did you apply for PR? Using the inland or outland process?

Thank you for your reply.

I applied as outside of Canada. So it cant get approval-in-principle even though my husband got permit of being a sponsor of me.

Correct - you will not get AIP since your application was submitted outland. You will have to wait until you are a PR before you can benefit from LINC classes.
