Inland Application 2011

[eddie11]

Walter Im copying you what we sent, Im copying you our letter, I dont have much time now but you need to send your OWP application so you can request Imply Status... I cannot explain right now but this is what you need to send... and the first thing is the cover letter... ok... this is based on the old forms, I think in July they changed them... look for Jurgen he posted some good tips in INLAND 2010

Canadiancitizen, i've never heard of the IMM5002 before your post. Its not included on the list of required forms for inland applications on the cic website. Do i have to submit that?

They changed the form since July 2011 as per the CIC site. So we are required to use the IMM 0008 instead of IMM 5002. That's my interpretation.

 

[walter8299]

They don't need your police certificate as a sponsor.

Question 18: Pregnant
If a female applicant is pregnant, record the date of the last menstrual period as well as the expected date of delivery.

check this link

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/appendix-02.asp

I suggest Call the designate doctor and ask for appointment as Immigration would need ure wife proof of pregnancy as well.

Hey Missha, thanks for the information. Since my wife is already seeing a gynecologist, I will get the doctor to write a proof indicating my wife's pregnancy and the expected date of delivery.



***I just read over the instruction guide and it says when the medical certificate is required, they will mail me the forms and goto the designated practitioner to do the examination.

I was advised to do the medical examination in advance and submit together with my application to avoid delays when they are pending the medical examination. However, I cannot seem to find the forms that I need to bring to the practitioner. Those that got the medical examination done in advance, where did you find the forms to be completed by the practitioner?

Hey Naz,

I think at the time it took about a month and a half to get the visa. I asked for a year (2012) and the visa came back with 2013 on it. SO they gave me a two year visa. Hope thats not a sign of how long they think it will take. ;D

 

[eddie11]

valid interpretation, walter, thanks...i did some digging around on the web and found that to be true.

"The in-Canada application forms for permanent residence (IMM5202, IMM5001 and IMM5002) will be replaced with the new IMM0008. One form will collect all the relevant information for processing applications for permanent residence. "

Dear All,
Today is Friday, a day when almost all employed people are happy and excited. Today is a day I helped my husband at work and felt happy and excited... not because tomorrow is a day off, but because I was actually involved into action.

I hope people who are on the same boat as I am, a boat called " In process" , will understand me. I assume I hit the first trimester of "waiting pregnancy". The seed is somewhere there, but can you really see it?!?!

So I couldn't help but wonder,what is the best way to wait? :

Hi there,


Waiting, they way I see it, can be either a torment or a great opportunity. While it is CIC's fault to take longer, and longer to process our inland cases, it is still our responsibility to do something productive with that time. 11 months can be a precious amount of time for a newcomer to, for instance, brush up on his/her English/French skills. You may want to go to your local school board and ask where you can take FREE classes on the language of your preference, if this is of your interest.

Also, you may want to join one of the many organizations that provide FREE and well guided assistance to newcomers in a number of subjects including job hunting, which most sponsored partners will be doing as soon as they receive their OWP. (About this, when I first arrive in Toronto I went to the YMCA Immigrant Settlement Services Center, which proved to be invaluable for me to be able to understand the Canadian job market and how it works.)

Finally, I strongly recommend you to consider volunteer opportunities. Explore it proactively!! Not only this particular activity will lead you to enlarge your social and professional networks, but will also give you some much needed Canadian work experience, which will tremendously enhance your chances to eventually obtain a job in your area of expertise. (It is perfectly legal as it is not a paid activity.) You can start by going to volunteer.ca.

My point is simple: get busy!! "It is what it is, but it will become what you make of it"

Hi angtao,

How do I do that? The e-cas?

geran, have you checked e-cas to see when your file went in process?

canadagirl, I got in ok.


naz, you can find out how long it takes on the cic website.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp.asp

Did you send it online or through the mail? As long as you sent it before your date on your visitor status or before your 6 months are up then you are ok.

Hi there,

I've found a lot of useful information from your discussions.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I would appreciate your advice on my case too.

I am currently using post graduate work permit, which will expire in early Dec 2011. My spouse is a Canadian citizen and we are going to submit our sponsorship application by the end of Nov. I will also submit the application to extend my work permit (actually i am not sure whether it means I am applying for the Open Work Permit)

I think I will get the "implied status" once I submit my application. But then come my questions:

I live in Ontario. Both my Ontario Health Insurance and Social Insurance card will be expired in Dec. 2011. Can I renew them before I get the Approal in Principle and Open Work Permit in 11 months?

What should I do if my employer ask me about my expired social insurance card? Can I still get paid?

Post Graduate Work Permit is also an open work permit. So I never deal with LMO, ect and have been doing part time work and having more than one employer. With my "implied status", does it mean that I still have my open work permit and can easily change my job or work for more than one employer?

I thank all of you for your insightful comments in advance.

Lechin

I loved your analogy .. and yes the best way to wait is getting involved. Im trying French Classes, cooking and gym(yoga is the key ). Im also reading alot and finding out alot about myself. Lets be positive and enjoy this waiting/free time. Patience is a virtue.

Hi Lechin,

I have a very similar case. As far as I understand, we can't renew our SIN or Health Card, but we can continue working at the same company (as long as your HR are not ***). I almost got fired, since I work in a bank and big company is really afraid of any potential issues.

Worst case, you can hire company lawyer to approve that you are legal to work under implied status which will cost you some money, but better than without job for a year. Best of luck.

[geran321414]

I actually talked with my company lawyer and she told me that I can continue work because implied status = "we are sorry, because we are slow, so you can continue what you are doing until we get back to you". But I can't change job or anything like that.

mmm. im not so sure of this, by law you are not allow to work whem in implies status... be careful...
