@sounion, I can't say this was a crap consultant because honestly my husband's situation was a little unconventional and she really helped us develop a solid plan towards getting approved. I think she is just a little old school and unaware of some of the things you can get away with; I mean the first stage (AIP) distinctly says "you can now apply for a work permit".sounion said:That sucks. Sounds like a CRAP consultant.
Your consultant may have been old school but it didn't hurt to apply for OWP with application. At least this way, you can get OWP approval at same time as AIP stage. Now you end up waiting another month or 2 before you get OWP assuming you will apply after AIP stage. You can now apply online for OWP if you so desire. Applying for OWP online is only for those who did not submit the paper OWP application with sponsorship.Nessasary said:@ sounion, I can't say this was a crap consultant because honestly my husband's situation was a little unconventional and she really helped us develop a solid plan towards getting approved.

Congrat sonja on your DM. I have updated your status on timesheets. Congrats.Sonja/srb said:Please tell me this is DM
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.
We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada Immigration Centre in KITCHENER will contact you concerning your permanent resident status.
Please note: At the time of your appointment, you and your family members, if any, will be required to present the original identification document(s) to the Canada Immigration Centre. A final decision concerning the granting of permanent residence status will be made at that time. If permanent residence is granted, the name that will appear on the confirmation of permanent resident document is your name as it appears on your passport or identity documents.
There have been AIP for Dec applicants, Cornfretis! I am Dec 7, as is Tomorisu and several others. Some of us only AIP, but others of us AIP and DM at the same time. Just sit tight, you are right around the corner!confrentis said:I want AIPs for December applicants....
and last update is Nov'27
Thanks QO (see how I took the liberty to give your nickname a nickname there? LOL) I am not terribly concerned with the actual AIP letter only to the extent that it will allow me to get OHIP applied for. Otherwise, it is just some more paper. I would like to know if I need to redo medicals and such though, my biggest concern right now, because mine DID expire Oct 22, or at least that is why my receipt from the doc is dated from last year. That is my main concern that I don't know if they need this information or not LOLQuebecOkie said:Congrats to Alurra (HOPEFULLY you get your actual AIP letter soon! Might be the consultant, but CIC has also been bad about not getting some AIP letters out lately, it seems), to sonja, to all the others who received good news, and especially to kriskris for having your family reunited!
I love seeing so much happy news every time I catch up on this thread.
