INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[LaylaLala]

22 months is outrageous. If I get my OWP, which should come with my AIP, I think I might have to go home for a little bit. I know its frowned upon, but being from the USA, and having AIP/OWP I should be safe. But we will see.

I'm thinking the same thing. I would love to go visit my dad in N.Y. There shouldn't be an issue, or at least I hope not. I'm expecting my AIP next week as well. We'll see. Come on CIC!! LOL

I am thinking along the same line. I am from the UK and dying to spend Christmas with my UK family.

Way to get our hopes up and then tear them down, CIC! I hope that we're going to get DM soon after AIP. This is ridiculous!

I am a little annoyed that despite having received the email about AIP, the online application status is not yet updated. What does that mean? How fast do they usually update those?

Hi SaskiaL,

Hi again ,

I have another question: When we sent the CIC our application we were under the impression that I only needed to show my German criminal record. Do they need a Canadian one, too? I believe it doesn't take too long to get one, but I am curious if this is even necessary.

You don't need to send Canadian police certificate, unless CIC asks you to send it.

Did you receive your AIP yesterday? When CIC updates the e-cas info? It depends on the officers. For example, my e-cas info was updated after 3 days of my AIP & DM. Please wait for a while.

That makes me feel much better. I was afraid I missed something...

That also makes me feel better! I thought maybe we got a troll spam or something, haha! We haven't gotten the physical letter yet, mainly because they sent it to our old address (even though I updated it months ago online). I called yesterday (I am so glad I didn't wait until today, I am sure there is no way I could possibly reach someone there with the processing times being updated) and the lady updated it on my file but not my spouse's. I hope he can reach an agent at some point (or else they might start thinking we don't live together anymore!)

I used to live in the UK, from Denmark originally. I feel your frustration, spending Christmas with my family would be the best thing that has happened to me in a while!

Hello from Toronto to everyone here. I'm sponsoring my wife (New Zealander Chinese - currently holding visitor visa) and we sent our application back in July 2013 with medical results, police clearance from NZ, China and Canada, along with OWP application. We also paid all the fees as we applied. So now we just sit back and wait patiently for the good news to come (hopefully).

In past year we had been crossed the US border three four times and didn't get in any troubles. My wife came in Canada last October and is still in Visitor status (online app. for extending as visitor). We are going to Orlando, Miami and East Caribbean next month for two weeks so we might serve some new pictures to CIC after we are back from the trip. I don't know if it helps our case but I feel like to do so. Just curiosity, are there anyone also sending CIC additional photos from time to time?

Welcome on here! Nice to see more and more joining!

You can always send additional pictures later on while your application is being processed! The more the better! Just be careful traveling too much abroad, it is said to avoid travelling when having an inland application processed until decision made. But nobody can tell you, I'd just be careful if I were you! As long as you bring some proof that you paid for it all and what not you should be golden!

Hello!

We were also advised not to travel during the In-Land application process as it does say "in-land" and supposed to be stayed within canada and no gaurantees for re-entry. The border officers say that it should be no problem as long as the person being sponsored has the documents of the sponsorship process and most importantly the document for legal status entering and exiting Canada. CIC has said that it should be fine that the person being sponsored can enter and exit but cannot gaurantee it. The border officers suggest that the person being sponsored do not exit Canada without a good situation such an important family member being ill oversea, unlike just leaving for leisure going on vacation as the person above has mentioned.

Anyone that reads this, can you please comment and share your experience about applying inland and traveling in and out of canada to the United States such as Seattle or a city across the border without problems? My common-law and I want to go to Seattle to her favourite restaurant and for leisure but is worried about affecting our application.


Thank you for reading!
