By the way, does anyone have the link to the chart where we can see the previous applications that everyboby is talking about?
AUGUST 2020 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter newMember1990
- Start date
Hi everyone, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I have not submitted my application yet, I was planning for August but it did not happen. My question is for the barcode pages, the checklist says print your name and sign but my barcode pages don’t have a place to print name and sign. Am I using the wrong version? It’s from 06-2019 and linked from the checklist. Are you guys just singing the bottom of the page?
More experienced members might be more helpful but I have only used the barcodes for IMM1344 and IMM0008 documents and we have only signed the sections at the end of the actual forms and NOT the barcode pages.
I submitted my file in first week of August. May be information here could help you.
For form IMM008 - consent and declaration : 1. under Concent to release information to intended provience: NAME IN CAPITAL
2. under Declaration of applicant : Sign(on left) and date(on right)
I wish I would have done that lol. Just when I got to fedex the guy kinda whirlwinded me into getting the thing into a box and I didn’t want to mess anything up.
Hey guys, new to this so please bear with me
I just found this forum today and am so happy!
I am a Canadian citizen and my partner is Australian and we are both living in Australia at the moment and about to send our application by the end of this week.
I'm assuming entry isn't granted until the application is approved?meaning after the "12 month" (probably longer) processing time? Is he allowed to enter on an ETA visa considering he is immediate family of mine while the sponsorship is being processed?
thanks so much

My advice. Don't apply Outland, processing times are astronomical as of yet - 200 days for AOR1. I would wait till things normalize and AOR goes back to the 15 day wait it was pre-Covid.
If you really want to live in Canada (not sure why any Aussie would want to trade paradise for a sh*thole) I'd suggest coming to Canada on an ETA visa (he is Covid exempt) and applying Inland (thereby getting OWP and visa extensions as needed).
Thank you so much for the reply
I'm feeling so lost (as is everyone) and this is really helping the whole situation.So if he was to enter on an ETA, he can then apply for OWP once inland application is approved?
Also looking at the tracking sheet it seems Inland has just as heavy delays. Is there priority for Inland or just a better option?
again, sorry for silly questions I'm very new to this.
thanks again

There are delays all over. Advantage for inland is you apply for the OWP for him at same time. Hence the inland applicant can work while waiting, or at least part of the time. (Note that usually or used to take about three or four months for the OWP)Thank you so much for the reply

Inland is the better option, its the default option for visa-exempt foreigners. Actually a lot more processing is coming from Inlanders post Covid. So its a no brainer in your case. Affirmative on the OWP. The only shortfalls of Inland app is that the applicant isn't supposed to leave Canada for prolonged period while his application is in process (or even at all, I'm not versed on Inland apps as I am an outlander).Thank you so much for the reply

I see. Inland sounds great except for the applicant being unable to leave. We had planned to attend his brothers wedding next year ( just a week ). I'm aware of the risks attached to this but seems to be the only option as an OWP is very necessary.
Lets say we apply inland and want to check the "i am also including OWP application" on checklist. I have found IM5710. Is this the form required? Do we check the "apply for a work permit for the first time" box? Or is it done online? Aghh I'm confused.
Do you have experience with leaving the country briefly? Do you think it would help his re-entry if I travelled with him or hurt the application?

If u r travelling with him it will be easy for him to get entry without mych questions from CBSA about immediate family member requirement moreover it will not affect any file
And u have to mark the option OWP while applying for Inland Spousal Sponsorship and Open work permits are multiple entry so ur spouse can re-enter canada if restrictions will not be there at that time moreover exemption is there for immediate family members
