Inland Application 2011

[wolanila]

When does the sponsor usually get their client identification number?

My local office was closed too. My file got transferred to Calgary for the landing interview. My local probably would have been quicker than the 8 weeks expected for Calgary.

Oh well.

Yeah, CIC Call Centre told us 8 months for Stage 2 (which took 4 days)... and then 8 weeks referral to local office (which took 1-2 days for the letter after Stage 2 and then an additional 2 weeks for the interview appointment.

When does the sponsor usually get their client identification number?

I got my Client ID Number after my spouse was AIP at the end of Stage 1.

Does anyone know the timeline for the Scarborough immigration office for inland landing interviews?

I would appreciate any update.

Do you mean the stage two of the inland application process took just 4 days not 8months after the 11-12 month sponsorship approval ? if this is what you mean, then its pretty fast and very possible for someone to finish the inland process in less than a year

just wanted to be sure

Yes, depending on the case it can be under a year. The website suggests that it's 11 months for Stage 1 and then 8 months for Stage 2.

Our case was simple. My spouse and I have no dependants. He was the only person being looked at for Stage 2 and all the information was sent in advance (as part of a 1 pound application we sent). Our application was received on July 15, 2011 and today (June 18, 2012) we are going for the landing interview [CIC Vancouver].

It's very odd how one waits for so long (10 months) without one single mention back of progress and then all of a sudden within 21 days you get AIP, Spousal Approval, OWP (which was only useful till the landing interview 3 weeks later), and finally the interview for landing.

Now the next phase of paperwork: Drivers License, Unsecured Visa Card, SIN, Provincial Medical, Passport Renewals, Work Contracts.

Does anyone know when you officially become a permanent resident? Is it after the landing interview at a local immigration office? or when you receive a PR card a couple of months later?

I am just wondering when exactly you become "permanent resident status"?

I appreciate any help.

at the Landing Interview, when the officer handles you the official permanent residence letter, the card is just a travelling tool... that letter should be kept preciously, it will help you to obtain your Canadian citizenship.

YES YES YES!!!!! AIP!

Received two letters today! One for me with my Open Work Permit, one for my husband, saying that "he has met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor"!!

My dates again: App received on July 25, processed Sep 12, AIP June 13 2012 (date from letter).

Happy! Relieved! Just one more stage..

For everyone who is still waiting: It will happen, it just takes time (a lot). Best of luck!

grats on finishing the process! Just a heads up for those who are still waiting (in BC especially) - you don't need to wait for AIP to get your MSP (provincial health plan) card. You can apply as long as you have an application in process - this will give you access to all of the walk-in clinics and hospital, and is a huge help mentally and financially- my wife got sick last year before we had the MSP, and it cost almost $800 to take her to the hospital!

Can anyone confirm this for other provinces as well?

Hi Guys,
Today I landed in Etobicoke! It was very fast and I got my SIN too. After that I went to Islington and Bloor to Service Ontario to do my OHIP, you need all the documents plus an extra document to support your identity (any bill in your name)
Now I just have to wait for all my cards! hahaha
SOOOO HAPPY
