INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[frenchwapiti]

Congrats to my fellow Aug 21st! Hopefully the rest of August gets theirs this week!

My husband went and got his health care today (1 year, temporary) from Alberta Health Services. He needed to show his AIP letter, his ID (passport), and that he lived in Alberta (Lease). He has a number and is getting the card in 5 days. It was very straightforward and easy. He called CIC and they said the OWP should be processed in 2 weeks (from Vergeville). We are so happy and we are cheering all of you on!

You're next!

Congrats AchankengCrawford!
I got the same letter and tomorrow I'// go to BC Service to get my healthcard, I hope it goes as straight as yours. As per my OWP, I'll call tomorrow and hopefully it is the same timeline as yours
the AIP letters were posted Nov 17th and arrived today Nov 24th. the OWP probably needs as long to arrive

Congrats Frenchwapiti!!! It's weird that you received the AIP via mail instead of email, but as long as you get it, you can't complain. right?

For me, I received the marriage certificate from Registrar office last week and sent it to CPC last Friday with some additional evidence to prove our relationship. Hopefully, we will get the AIP and OWP as soon as possible.

At last, congrats to everyone who recently got the AIPs!!!!!!!!!

I cross my finger for you and send you loads of positive vibes

Unfortunately no, as zardoz said, it's considered a brand new, "outland" application, so still no implied status

Thanks for your replies zardoz, Linden & beholder69.

Basically, I have to hope that my AIP and OWP arrive by Feb or that the first round for the 2015 IEC is early enough that I can get it all processed in time. To think, when I received my work permit last February I figured our immigration issues were behind us. At least we're seeing AIPs coming through - congratulations to you all!

Congrats to everyone that received AIPs this month!

Sorry I haven't been around, I was still quite upset about the setback from not realizing we needed to send CSQ months ago. I still blame our lawyer, but hey...we've already spent tons of money on him, there's no use making a fuss about it now. I just needed to distance myself from obsessing over when AIP was coming, since my date came and went and I still haven't received AIP, and there's no telling when I will.

We did receive CSQ last week, and that should have been sent to CIC for us, and hopefully it won't take too long to receive AIP once they have it. Luckily I should probably get both stages approved at once, since they already seem to have been working on my info submitted like medical, police reports, and marriage certificate. Only reason I know that is because they thought our marriage certificate wasn't valid and we had to let them know it was legit. They said it wasn't valid only because they failed to read down the page 4 lines. Way to go, CIC.

We've decided to bite the bullet and we're planning to visit my family for Christmas, even though we don't have AIP or OWP. Our lawyer says that with the paperwork we already have, it should be sufficient...I'm just hoping since he's giving us written statements proving there should be no reason to deny me entry back into the country to take with us to show customs, if it doesn't work he won't charge us for extra problems that may come out of it. I know it's risky, but we're tired of letting CIC control our lives. Whatever happens, happens. Worst case scenerio, we lose our money, have to resubmit as outland, and I stay back home for a few months. Wouldn't be optimal, but life goes on and sometimes you have to roll with the punches.

Hope everyone continues to hear good news this week!

Why did they ask you to send more proofs ? Are you in married ou in common-law ? Did your relationship is less than one year when you sent your application ? I mean, even if you sent all proofs before, they should have a doubt on something and perhaps if you have an idea on, you can send more proofs for that.

To answer you, what did they say to you when they want more proofs : mail (with an address), email (with an email address) or by fax (if they gave you a fax number) ?

Moreover, I think you better send them your proofs by express mail because or by fax (if you don't sent photos). Because, if you sent photo, I don't think they will print them.

I hope you will have your AIP soon Sept 11 2013

They give me email address and fax number.

Then if you have choice, and if you can do this, send all your documents by fax.
For 2 reasons :
1 - you will have an acknowledgment for each documents you sent; (Just verify the "Ok" on the acknowledgement and be sure that you have the same numbers of documents that those you sent)
2 - They will received it as soon as you send it. It will take less times to treat your document.

Just for your information, if you can, try to put all your informations (yours and your spouses like UCI or F00Number) and put a title to explain what your documents relate.

(Sorry for my english, I try each day to improve myself )

I did all 3, and still got requested to send the same thing again. LOL.

I always go for overkill with CIC, because they don't seem to communicate and share info well.

I would recommend all 3 if you can.

My english poor too lol. Thank you for your help

I don't think that will speed the treatment. Perhaps, they will treat this information 3 times including twice for nothing. Perhaps, it will slow the treatment because they will have to check 3 times the same docs.

Mail : will probably in a month and it will be touched by many people before go to the good agent.
Email : will probably in some weeks (especially if it's a generic email)
Fax : will probably in a few days


I don't know but I hope Sept 11 2013 and all of us will have some good news soon
