INLAND APPLICATIONS 2010

[Love_Young]

I don't know if it will help anyone else but I found a manual talking about the medical coding for FOSS notes as well as CAIPS.
Considering my FOSS notes stated my medical coding was M1/9 this is what is stands for: "EDE applicants who are assessed as having no identified health condition will be coded M19." It is also says this about the codes: "the three admissible EDE categories will be coded as M19, M29 or M39" Meaning if you have one of those codes you are admissible for medical grounds for the PR application. Yay, such a relief to read that. At least I am reassured for one thing being approved for the application. Now if I could just figure out the rest. Lol.

Here is the link to the manual if you would like to read (it is also very up to date): http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/manuals/ir/ir03-eng.pdf

Also, I have been doing a lot of research trying to figure out FOSS note codes since the other posts floating around are just for CAIPS. I would like to one day have a thread that also helps those that apply for FOSS notes.

Remember how I said I had two spots that stated "RCMP check requested" one with an (R) next to it and the other with nothing next to it? Well to show the next part I am going to explain I will just type out for you all.

It looks like this:
EA 0001 IMM0703 - RCMP CHECK REQUESTED
AFL 0001 (R) IMM0703 - RCMP CHECK REQUESTED

Below that it has my visitor records that were issued before. Well I noticed that the abbreviations on the far left side stand for something because for my visitor records it said (VR) so it only would make sense that (EA) and (AFL) would stand for something too right? And the (0001) spots stand for how many of that document you were given. So I did a quick search for the code (AFL) in the CIC site and came across it being mentioned in only one manual. I had to search and search and this is what I came up with: "AFL (Application for Landing)". Now I just need to figure out the other code as well. If that AFL code is right then perhaps the RCMP check is a good thing.

If you like, you all can find the code in this manual too. It is on page 75 of 186. (Took me FOREVER to find)

Hope you don't find the FOSS talk annoying. I just find all this coding annoying/interesting. I just want to help you all more with understanding these things.

Just found out what (EA) stands for just now.
This is my discovery: " ‘EA’ or work permits issued in FOSS "

So based on my assumption they are running the RCMP checks for my work permit and for landing.
You can also read about the (EA) definition here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob275C.asp#cumulative idcumulative
You may have to scroll for a bit but you will find it. It is under the "Call Center" portion.

Sorry for the numerous post but I feel a bit relieved. I hope what I found is accurate (which it does appear to be and up to date) then I hope it helps several people in the future so that don't have to research and research all night like I did.

Oh man...I know I haven't figured one out yet though. Will it be bouncing, dancing, smiling, etc. or what? I can't decide.
Yours is coming sooner than mine. Do you have yours picked out?

who knows if mine is coming earlier, I'm waiting in the mail anytime the approval from the quebec government, i sent the package almost 1 month ago and thats usually what it takes the get the permit (called CSQ). I may get AIP after that,,we ll see and look for the appropriate smiley

It really is a shame they make the process a bit longer just for the Quebec portion but I guess it is something that has to be done.
Maybe we will get approved at the same time then? That would still be really cool. We can wait until then to know how we feel and then I am certain we will find the right ones. Hope you got the site bookmarked and ready to go to pick out a smiley when you do get the good news. Its coming soon.

Happy Easter to everyone and best wishes ..

As i imagined a few minutes ago i received the CSQ (the approval from the quebec government and when i was trying to call the call centre of CIC for further info and the quebec government for the possibility of a health card i realized that all offices were closed possibly until next monday included for easter holidays....anyway, its good that i have received that paper

Hello Inlanders 2010 friends,

I am waiting for my police clearance certificate from my coutry of origin, which takes 3-4 weeks to come after I will send it to immigration and they will issue me final visa P.R. If I know before that aside canadian police clearance they also need police clearance from my home coutry I rather apply earlier. By the way what ever is in destiny will happen! Best of luck people.

Happy Easter in advance.........................thanks again to Love_young & Theresa Lynn

I am glad they help you. Yay!
Thank you that could be true, I just hope that since they are listed there that, that is a good sign. Let's hope.

Oh that is great. At least you got that approval out of the way. But like you said it is a shame that they are closed right now.
Only for the weekend though. I may be mistaken but I think CSQ approval means a very high chance of AIP. Can't wait to hear about your approval.

 

[Love_Young]

I also found this in the Inland Processing Manual. From everything I keep reading, they don't run admissibility checks until after they find you eligible for AIP. This is what it says for getting a work permit or study permit after AIP: "Applicants who have been approved against eligibility requirements, and received an approval in principle, may apply for work or study permits pending the outcome of admissibility checks (i.e. medical, security and background checks)."

So would I be right in assuming that it is a high possibility they already basically gave me AIP since they are already running background checks? I certainly hope so. If that is the case then come on CIC hurry up. I want my work permit in the mail.

I guess everyone must be out celebrating Easter weekend so I hope all of you are having fun and enjoying yourselves.
I hope everyone comes back with wonderful news to add. Look forward to still hearing good news from everyone. Yay!

I also thought that the CSQ was ground for approval until i found one post on this forum of a person that applied inland from quebec, received CSQ and after he/she was asked to attend an interview from CIC (their file was transefered) because probably they didn't trust the relationship and they were not granted AIP right away....
But i want to keep positive, these are just some cases, most people i think receive AIP after CSQ

While that seems really odd. It even states in the manual that it is supposed to mean sponsor approval.
Maybe it is only representing the sponsor portion but not the applicant's? That would it explain it then.
And you should keep positive. You will get it soon for sure.

Yes some applicants (if all security, background, and medical checks are done and good) do get approved for both AIP and PR at the same time. This doesn't happen all the time though but it does seem more common lately than it used to be. And right now the timeline is 9-10 months from the time Vegreville received your application. So if wait times don't increase (but the fluctuate often) then I would say you would know about the decision in June or July. But again I am just estimating. I would need to know the day they got it before making a good guess. Wishing you lots of luck!

 

[Love_Young]

By the way heads up January 2010 applicants. I heard of another member that is getting their PR letter in the mail soon.
They said they will be coming back here to share the news. Yay! So hopefully that means those that got AIP and applied around that time will finally be getting more PR letters.

And also, I want to wish you all a very Happy Easter weekend.
