Inland Application 2011

[hatrang]

hum... you read my thoughts, because 40% of my family works in Ottawa I would say with a 100% assurance, you need to be Canadian or need citizenship to work in any government job... is not obligatory but you will face other major preferenes, see this
While the Public Service Employment Act does not exclude non-Canadians from applying to positions in the federal public service, it clearly specifies that preference for appointment is to be given in the following order, among the qualified candidates in a selection process:
1.Canadian who is in receipt of a pension by reason of war service;
2.Canadian war veteran or a survivor (widow/widower) of a Canadian war veteran;
3.Canadian citizen; and
4.Other qualified individuals.
(Canada public servant job data base website)

Yes, it's a government job. Basically, you need a work permit to work for the government. Preferences will be always be given to the Canadian/Permanent Resident. They didn't ask me if I have a work permit today BUT I told them because I don't want to waste their time. I know that they will check my background if I ever get into the next stage :-[

Thanks a lot guys. I learn more and more from people here, fantastic! Have a great weekend everybody!

I has been a good day to me and my family... wish you all a good weekend.. I want to share a joke so you can get use to our humour

ENJOY IT

This Land Is Our Land

A True Canadian

It's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at center ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbor if someone will be sitting there. "No," says the neighbor. "The seat is empty." "This is incredible", said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and not use it?" The neighbor says "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967." "Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The man shakes his head "No, they're all at the funeral."

It's a very interesting topic.
I'm sponsoring my husband; we are living together since December 2009 and finally got married on October 29, 2011.
We filled our application on November 03 and sent it on November 07. The office in Vegreville AB received on November 10.
We are so excited and waiting for the news.
;D

Welcome to the thread fwmello. Your marriage certificate came fast, just totally a month. Did you apply for it online?
I remember I had to wait 12 weeks after marriage to apply for the cert. And the cert didn't send to my address until 6 weeks after.
Totally it cost me 18 weeks. Maybe I picked the longest way. Nice weekend!

Hi,

It should not be a big problem as long as you show that your marriage is genuine and you both have sincere intentions to stay together.

Thanks hatrang
I didn't apply for the marriage certificate yet. I sent my sponsorship application to AB and we still have to apply for the marriage certificate. Do you think they will ask for it? And yes, I think on line it's the best way to do it...

Unless you applied for common law partner, marriage certificate is mandatory as document checklist pointed out.
I think even you applied as common law partner, since you already got married, marriage certificate is very helpful too.
You may need to get it ready as soon as possible since they will properly ask though, I guess so.
Or you may want to send it to CIC when you know for sure they start opening your file.
I hope other people will give you more info since everything I knew was from learning around, not my real experience yet.
I just sent out the application last month. Good luck and yeah, we're on the same boat now.

Thank you hatrang
As we married in ON we have to wait for the required time to apply it.
If they ask for the marriage certificate it will be ready, for sure!
Good luck us all...

Hi Berber-amazigh,
Can you tell us a little more about your situation? You don't have to go into a whole lot of detail but when you met. The age difference between you and your spouse or spouse to be? How long have you been together?

I am from the 2010 inlanders but my husband and I have an 11-1/2 year difference between us. We met online and I am older. I don't necessarily think it will make a difference for you. It did not for us. We got married last year, we were together for 6 years before. I think if you can give them a good reason to believe you are genuine, they won't have any room to deny you. I would suggest, if you have pictures of you and your loved one together from different stages in the relationship, that is good. So is the more people that know, the better. I also explained the things my husband I had done (activities/outings/vacations) together through our years. I just got approved for AIP and second stage in October. My landing interview is next week. Also, I know that CIC is sensitive enough that they are educated about arranged marriages and other cultures traditions. Let me assure you, you are not alone and have support. It will be ok. Be confident, think positive!
