Inland Application 2011

[ilovecanada4ever]

Well done Angus! Thanks for doing it for us.

I would like to share some good news as well, something that surprised me.

I filed for my wife inland on Aug 23 2011, she was in Canada on a visit visa, set to expire in mid September.

However, I failed to include the visit visa extension application with the sponsorship application.

Anyway, I filed her visit visa extension on September 3rd online, I was really worried it would get rejected since they wouldn't be able to match it with the PR application. In the extension we indicated that my wife was married and we had filed inland, however we had no file or UCI number at that time. Plus her visa was to expire in 2 weeks.

The process time stated it would take about 76 days, and they said they would email you when they had a decision regarding your case to go check your my CIC account.

To our pleasant surprise we got her Visa extension in the mail around Nov 2nd, even though in the CIC process time listing it stated they were working on August files. We didn't get an email or anything, just her visa extension in the mail way before we had expected.

I have had that experience as well where things happen faster than what the cic website states. According to website..my hubby`s application for work permit renewal wasnt even being looked at yet..and still we received it in the mail few days after i checked website.

Hello everyone, especially Angtao
I was reading the last posts ---you know a little update on the weekend and read some discussions from another user arguing with Angtoa. I felt so disappointed. I do know Angtao is always here to help. I completely understood the message and I agree entirely with what Angtoa wrote, and I am sure she never meant something mean/uncool in this forum whatsoever.


On the other hand, it would be nice that it was possible to report people who mislead information and argue with others.

Good luck everyone/Get yourselves a great weekend

Visit Visa extension is nothing to do with PR application. Applicants extends their TRV or Visit Visa to have legal status while waiting for the PR approval process so CIC approve TRV or Visit Visa way ahead of AIP or First Stage Approval. Applicants should remember to renew TRV or Visita Visa one month before expiration. Any office would not like late renewal.

Also when you renew/extend your Work Permit together at the same time you submit Permanent Resident Application. CIC will process it way ahead before AIP or First Stage approval so applicants will continue to work and have legal status while waiting PR First Stage Approval, provided the Applicants have the required documents for the work permit to be renewed or extended. So if Work Permit is approved not at the same time as AIP then this is not Open Work Permit yet.

Serendity I sent You a private messages explaining better

Tecle,

Many thanks for the PM and for sharing more info with me. Your more detailed explanation certainly helped me understand the case much more clearly. The situation described in my long post, evidently, does not completely apply to you (didn't have all the facts )

However, and per your PM, you have been advised that leaving the country at this point carries a certain level of risk of being denied re-entry into Canada, which was my main point. As unlikely as this may be, it is still possible, which for many in the same situation would be pretty unsettling.

In any case we all are pretty excited for you - not to mention that many of us also envy you a bit!! ;D

¡Disfruta tu fin de semana!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Tecle, could you copy and paste what your e-cas says? I just want to make sure that we have the proper dates on the chart? Was your AIP given to you on Nov.1?

Since it is going to be our turn soon, can I ask that everyone paste what there e-cas says when they get approved so that the chart has proper dates.

Thanks guys

Here's hoping for a good jump this week but I don't know if that will happen. They did have Friday off which is one less work day. Who knows!

First time I saw that a sponsor has its own update on ecas. I thought it's only the sponsorship has its own processing update on ecas.. Do anybody have the same update on ecas... In the CIC website on Inland application , once the sponsor is found eligible to sponsor, sponsorship application will go on processing.. And the sponsor and the sponsored person will just have to ewait for AIP and final decision.

Me too Visita... I'm the sponsor from Quebec, and since October 3rd this year I have access to my ECAS as a sponsor... I already received Quebec Certificate of Selection, which is only sent when you have been approved by CIC, so technically I have AIP, a letter should arrive any minute now, someone from this forum told me by December 15 I should receive the confirmation letter...
