Aurora,

I was waiting 7 months for DM. And now i am waiting for PR card, but there is some problem and agent told me to wait other 90 days, How funny :'( :'(

Did they tell you what the problem is?

Just a quick update...As of 10:18am EST, I am a LANDED Permanent Resident! woot woot! I landed in Sherbrooke, the lady was nice, it was smooth, only one question asked of myself and my child (have either of us been convicted of any crimes since entry to Canada so long ago.."Nope") It was so good for closure, now on to the fun of s.i.n., drivers lic., health cards....and integration (for myself, child is fully integrated)...now to wait the 6 to 8 weeks for my pr card..and a refund from cic (we paid for myself and child, child is being refunded) YAY!

Sigh....I have a headache just thinking about this whole process. Our situation is a little unique in a few ways. I am the Canadian, my husband is American. We were married in Sept 2011. He has been here since August 2009. But here are some of the rubs:

- He is here illegally, hence he is not working but that is no problem as I make more than enough for us both. Basically he was coming for 2 weeks (had a return ticket and everything). Long story short, he ended up staying. Largely it was due to we did not want to be seperated and at the time I had a crappy job so any visiting back and forth would not have even been conceivable.

- Secondly I am nervous as there is an age difference (I am 36, he is 24). I have heard this can sometimes cause issues?

-Thirdly I cannot seem to get a straight answer anywhere that if we apply inland does he or does he not need to send in the form and fee to "re-instate legal visiting status" or just apply and wait for AIP?

I know there have been a few people through here that have applied inland while being here illegally, I am hoping for some insights from them if they are still around. Was any part of your process any more difificult due to the illegal status? Any tips or advice you can share?

I have also sent a requets to talk to Lawyer David Cohen and am hoping to get some info.

Thanks in advance

As long as he is just illegal due to staying beyond his 6 months you have no worries. It clearly states in CIC IP08 that this is not a problem. For Spouse/Sponsership.
But you are right they may look at the age differenct and make you have an interview. But it you are really together no problems. Good luck.

Legal temporary resident status in Canada
Under the current Regulations, applicants in this spouse or common-law partner in Canada class
must have a valid temporary resident status on the date of application and on the date they
receive permanent resident status to be eligible to be members of the class.
However, under the spousal policy, applicants who lack status as defined under the public policy
(see “What is lack of status under the public policy” below) may be granted permanent residence
so long as they meet all the other requirements of the class (i.e., they are not inadmissible for
reasons other than “lack of status.”)
However, applicants who do not have temporary resident status and who cannot be granted
positive consideration under the public policy can be removed at any time. Further, the spousal
policy does not change the requirement to seek necessary authorization to visit Canada or to
work or study here.
What is “lack of status” under the public policy?
For the purposes of the current public policy, persons with a “lack of status” refers to those in the
following situations:
• persons who have overstayed a visa, visitor record, work permit, student permit or temporary
resident permit;
• persons who have worked or studied without being authorized to do so as prescribed by the
Act;
• persons who have entered Canada without a visa or other document required by the
Regulations;
• persons who have entered Canada without a valid passport or travel document (provided
valid documents are acquired by the time CIC seeks to grant permanent residence).

April will be 1 year for me after AiP and nothing.

I just called CIC because my BFD was March 25 and nothing happened apparently.


On top of that, CIC is returning 300k skilled worker applications received before 2008. It is just unbelievable how bad this government is.

It's been a year after I received AIP on APRIL 2012 and still waiting. You're not alone. Let's keep our hopes high!

I havent heard anything from CIC yet about 2nd stage. My 90s days from getting my medical request is coming up soon. The letter was dated Feb 2nd, I assume that's also the time they count down from the 'bring forward date'. Hope I hear something around May 2nd.

"All of the required information must be received by our office within 90 days for continued processing. If you are unable to provide this information within 90 days, please provide written reasons for the delay."

just want to give you an update with our application.
Finally, we received the approval letters and my hubby's OWP.
I'm so happy that we're done with first stage.
This is a huge relief on our part.

Just for everyone information, we've got DM for sponsor and applicant in eCAS.
Though we still have an overseas dependent for medical.

Thanks everyone.
