INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

[Kiwi12]

Hi Brightstar, If they are asking you to bring your passport as well as your immigration documents then this is a landing interview. I am surprised they didn't send you the invitation by mail however, maybe they had an opening and didn't have time to mail it to you. They will ask you a couple of general questions about personal, legal and medical history since your application was sent in, then they will stamp your passport. Basically they just want to confirm that nothing has changed with regard to these three things. Sounds good, congratulations. My husband's second stage processing started Valentine's Day. I contacted the CIC and they told me that all of the security checks are complete and it is just awaiting review by the IO. So, we are hoping to hear something soon.

I would like to change my glasses and a frame and as you know that I haven't got an AIP and I am not allowed to work , just staying at home.
So I must find the cheapest Optical to save money , I had visited Walmart Optical but I was not sure that it was the cheapest place to buy a frame and a pair of glasses .

Anybody who know the cheapest Optical , could you please share it ? Thank you very much.

Jason Kenney, formerly the Immigration minister, is now minister of Employment and Social Development (formerly HRSDC), taking over for Diane Finley, who moves to Public Works.

Chris Alexander, formerly a parliamentary secretary, takes over from Kenney as minister of Citizenship and Immigration.

Mr. Jason Kenney is a Minister of Employment and Social Development ? Are you sure ? Mr. Harper , you have chosen the wrong Minister. He is Not qualified based on his past track and field. He even doesn't how to attract new investors to create jobs.

To Brightstar: Your valid immigration document such as Visitor or Work Permit (if you have one of these, they have sent it to you as it has to be an original) They definitely sent you a letter to let you know that you received your AIP. Those are the documents that were issued to you by the CIC. You may have something other than these such as a Student Permit. I have all the documents they have sent us, the original Visitor Visa, the letter indicating they received the PR application and when they started processing it (AOR), the letter that stated they were transferring the file to the local office, the AIP letter indicating that an Open Work Permit could now be applied for and lastly the actual Work Permit.

I am certain you have had these documents or most of them sent to you. Good Luck!

Jason Kenney might not be happy at all on his new portfolio. If he were performing exceptionally well he'd not be replaced. Something tells me that the prime minister wasn't very impressed with his modus operandi. Let's bombard the new minister with emails now to let him know what we are going through

Hi Brightstar,

I have heard conflicting information with regard to this topic so I cannot be of any help with you on this one, sorry. I would start a new thread and ask for advice from one of the more senior people that are regularly on this forum.

I had the exact same thing, and still waiting; File was received by Vegreville in July, 2012. AOR in October 2012. In January 2013, got a letter stating file has been transferred to CIC Etobicoke. Haven't heard a word from them yet. Unbelievably frustrating and unfair. No offense, but people here are crying about filing applications in October and not yet getting AIP. Think of the people who got transferred to local offices, but don't know why, and how long we are waiting. There is no timeline for us, and no one to contact; everytime we call, we get the same answer: It is in the queue. Unbelievable!

@hkalltheway
I understand your plight, however, your lengthy wait time doesn't make it easier for us who are waiting just a few months behind you. Many of us haven't heard a word from CIC since AOR was sent. Waiting on this process to complete isn't easy on none of us; no matter our individual wait times
but I really hope that the new minister will not continue on the same destructive path as his predecessor.

Re. Health card
I'm in Calgary. Originally from UK with a Canadian husband. I'm registered as a dependant on his health card. My visitor status ran out at end of march. I applied to extend it end feb, got it back in June. While waiting we rang Alberta health and they extended my status as a dependent on his health card. Once my year visitor visa came through they asked for a copy of it at the registries and a few days letter we received a letter confirming I'm covered for another year.
This may help (or not as I'm not sure what different provinces do) good luck.

I am also in Alberta. But I am out of status as I was told I have implied status while waiting for PR. But, apparently implied status doesn't work with the health coverage. I can apply for a visa extension, but I don't know if it will cause problems with my application. And looking at the visa extension times it will be 2-3 months. If I'd known about the health coverage ending before all this, I would have applied while still in status.

 

[krissikris]

question if my friend orders the notes on her file, and she is the sponsor, can she request them or does her hubby have to? anyone ordered these before? need some assistance

 

[hn1234]

So it has been 7 months since my application is in process and no AIP, which comes to me as no surprise as there are people waiting for 8, 9, 10 months or greater for AIP.

Nonetheless I thought I'd contact my MP's office and see what can be done. An inquiry has been sent lets see what happens....

Slowly losing hope day by day.... Just a sad day for me
