INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

So it takes almost 60 days to get approval for a visitor extension? while waiting to hear a decision on your extension are you considered to be on 'implied status'? Just wondering because I have to do this very soon :-[

Also... It says I need private medical insurance??? Is this true? I'm getting super nervous cause I don't have any...

Yes you will be on implied status! As long as it is sent~

This link is just for foreign students though, right?

Regardless it explains what kind of volunteering you can do without a work permit which is helpful and would apply regardless of if you are a student or not.

As long as volunteering is not your primary reason to be in Canada (which for us obviously isn't the case) you are fine if you follow those rules.

Do i need private medical insurance proof to get an extension? Or is that for grandparents/ child? Im just wondering if i read it wrong....

We didn't include it when we extended my stay. So I doubt it!

If it's driving you crazy, you should just restore your status or send along a visitor visa extension appliation! Problem solved

You are fine! There is no reason for you to! You are on implied status!

Hmm, why do you have to leave the country? Is it because you are on implied status already? And to qualify for the job wth LMO your visitor visa should still be valid? I was thinking about looking for a job with LMO too however, my visa expires on 2nd week of October, so is that still doable?
In your case, if you go out of the country with the pending app, you are taking some risks on not bein able to re enter. Altho, i see that many had luck when they went out of the country and got back in.

I dont think you have to leave the country, its just faster to get the LMO processed at the boarder to change your status. I assume you can post your passport as well and get it processed that way. Although I wonder where you post it to as I would loose all hope if you had to send it to Vegreville. Yes thats what I am wondering if I can get a LMO under Implied status. I am having trouble finding any information about it. For you it is do able if the company already has a blank Lmo, or they have had a lmo before and they can process a accelerated Lmo other wise if the company needs to apply for a LMO it can take around 3 months. Otherwise you will be on Implied status as well right? Then it will be the same question. This is the information I have found this far. Can anyone fill the gaps?

You are fine! There is no reason for you to! You are on implied status!

I second this.

Also...I know it's great to be here "legally" and all....but for Spousal Sponsorship, you no longer HAVE to be in status. Especially once you have proof you have applied they aren't going to just kick you out even IF you were out of status.But I also agree that you should be considered as "implied status".

Where do I get my UCI number? Do I create one? Thanks!! 8)

 

[QuebecOkie]

CIC assigns it to you. We got my husband's (sponsor) and my (PR applicant) UCI numbers when we received the AOR (acknowledgement of receipt) letter. It contained both. Also, the visitor record certificate we received after extending my visitor status also has the UCI number on it.

So do you mean, i ( being the pr applicant) will receive my own uci number? My husband (sponsor) already has his as he already received aor? If so, will i be sent a letter that will state my uci?
Thanks quebecOkie.

So in on the extension app do I leave the UCI part blank? Because I haven't sent out my application yet.. Waiting for my Police certificate to come..

Yes, you and your husband will each have your own UCI number. Perhaps my UCI was only listed because we're in Québec? (There's an extra step in Québec, and the letter instructed us to do this step on behalf of the client, me, and gave my UCI number.) My letter was as follows:

January 28, 2013
UCI: 87654321
Application: *FXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX*XX XX
Husband of Quebec Okie
1234 Our Road
UpNorth, QC XXX XXXX

And yes, at the time we requested an extension of my visitor status, I didn't yet have a UCI. We left it blank. I did notice, though, that the visitor record we received after the extension was approved has my UCI listed, though.
