Hi

Does anybody know if someone can enroll in ESL clases after AIP (in toronto)? My understanding was that people CAN, but I went to one ESL centre today and the Manager did not accept the AIP. Any exprience?

Thanks

Mini
u can enrol in a course that is shorter than 6 months. for longer course, u need to apply for a study permit beforehand. (with ur AIP), i was told that it takes around 2 months for one and application can only be sent outland (the CIC staff told me i could do that by sending a form from the U.S. as I'm in Vancouver)

He wanted ESL school which is free for PRs and citizens.
You can only go to ESL school free after you landed. (Or you have to pay)
I wanted to go to ESL school as well , this would be the perfect time to go because aren't busy with work.
It's a little stupid that you can't start the ESL with the AIP.

Hey guys, I got bad new today and don't know what to do...can anyone tell me how to order FOSS notes? Should I order them for myself? Or my wife who I am sponsoring? Or both? How come I, as the sponsor, didn't receive any email, and my wife received the email, but at my email address? This is what the PDF file reads:

This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-law
Partner in Canada Class.
This is to advise you that your application has been transferred to the Canadian Immigration
Centre in Etobicoke for further assessment. The Canada Immigration Centre may contact you
for an interview or to seek additional information or clarification. Once processing is complete,
that office will notify you by mail of their decision.
Passports for yourself and your family members must be valid for the duration of your stay in
Canada.
I am in a similar situation. when i called CIC, they advised that it may take between 6-8 months after it has been transferred before we hear anything again.
App sent in March 2012
Transferred to Etobicoke in October 2012
Still waiting....

Praying for this year
There's a new timeline on the CIC website which says that time for first stage approval has reduced from 11 to 6 months. Does this mean applications are going to be dealt with faster? Or it doesn't matter. Another thing, why does the immigration say that outland applications are dealt with faster but the inland time is much shorter than some ridiculous wait times at overseas offices, ranging from 17 to 25 months

You will be making a "privacy act" request, so there is no fee. One of you should apply and the other should authorize release of their personal information as well - submit both forms so that the ATIP office won't redact out information that is private to one of you.


According to IP 8 they may refer cases to an inland office due to:

I suppose this could include an A44 report investigation (e.g., if you are not in compliance with the residency obligation) since if you are not in compliance you won't be eligible to sponsor, but from what I could tell in the processing manuals (IP 8 and OP 2) CPC-V should have handled a sponsor eligibility issue. If you are not under a removal order, your time in Canada does count towards your residency obligation at least.

There's some issue and the electronic case notes (do NOT order a physical copy) will tell you. I'm not sure, but I think FOSS might be dead now, as the goal was to switch everything over to GCMS ("Global Case Management System") rather than the old two system model (FOSS and CAIPS). When you complete the form, you will be asking for "electronic notes" and they will send you the relevant information.
Thank you so much for the response! Under the privacy act, if I am the sponsor, who should I request notes for? Is there a way to find out if they are proceeding with an A44 report investigation in my case? I never applied for my PR card renewal, which was due in October, so I could complete the two years of residency. Secondly, when I became a PR myself, I was a dependent on my father's application, which had a condition to establish a business. He never did that, but he doesn't live in Canada anymore. Could that condition be a reason why I cannot sponsor anyone? They never proceeded with any removal order in the five years though. When I re-entered Canada in January of 2012, I told them I had been gone for three years, and they asked why, and I said I intended to come back sooner, but my son had passed away; he never mentioned a condition or made any other issue. He apologized and said welcome back to Canada..that was it..so I really don't know what is going on.

To summarize, could you please guide me as to who to order the notes for? Myself, or my wife? or both? Under the privacy act for both? Thanks so much once again!

My husband got his OWP with his AIP in december valid until Dec2014. He is still on his post graduation work permit which is valid until june 2013, thus he also has a SIN card valid till june2013.

My question is: does he need to do anything in regards to going to service canada to extend his SIN card or anything RIGHT NOW? Or can he just wait till his current SIN card is almost expiring in june to get it renewed to dec2014

Thanks
Besunshine

Spuh_dyna, were you or your partner out of status when you applied? I'm just trying to understand why they call people in for the interview before AIP... :-[
