INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[JHWife2011]

This seems to be a little bit of an overkill. Where is your husband originally from?

He is from Jamaica. No criminal background, never was arrested, clean record. Only problem was his work visa expired Dec 2011. We didn't extend it, when we sent our application we didn't send the OWP, we waited till after AIP to sent it off. In October, when CBSA detained my husband, we hadn't even received AIP yet, they just gave us instructions to report monthly, which apparently we were lucky to get monthly reporting as some people get weekly! They were going to make me pay $2500 for bond, but they waived it due to my husband being very cooperative the said quote "he is a good guy don't worry about the $2500" when I went to CBSA to get my husband they told me they have never met someone in my husband's position that was so calm, and polite, didn't argue or fight, didn't try to finagle himself out of anything, he just answered all their questions truthfully and honestly and just cooperated. They were uber impressed with him. We report every month, never missed a day, never had to request to change a day, we do exactly what they say and never fought the grain at all.

True but if the existing work permit expired prior to sending the application it does not give you implied status. JHWife2011 what was the timing of your application?

App was sent March 28th 2013, AOR April 2013, AIP November 13th 2013. We did not sent in OWP with application we waited till after AIP and sent the OWP application in on Dec 27 2013. Meds were done Jan 23rd.

No, of course not! Certainly don't waste the $150 if your wife isn't planning to work!

When did your husband's original work permit expire?

 

[JHWife2011]

Agree with JLynn no point in spending the money if she can wait till she is landed.

When did your husband's original work permit expire?

We didn't extend it. It was our mistake. We were going to file right away, but then we had a lot of family issues come in the way, and everything got pushed around until we were finally able to submit. It was a stupid error on our part.

Sorry misread the question....it expired December 2011 we filed March 2013

I have been relatively calm until now, but today I am so anxious to hear something! Oh CIC...you sure do get the best of me!

Soon be you Jlynn!! I know exactly how you feel... it will be here so sudden that you will be like "what?!"

Thanks, MisterBob! I can't focus on anything else.

The email you received went to your sponsor's email address, correct?

Have you considered talking to a lawyer about the removal order? Dont mean to make you more nervous but it might be worth it.

Thank you we actually have AIP. He isn't under Refugee status or anything. Is that what PRRA is? He already reports to the bonding centre at CBSA monthly though.

Thank you. I read that link last night. I do have someone asking a lawyer for us just to be sure we are doing the right thing. There was a PRRA form attached to the letter, what is that? does he need to fill it out? Is there anything we need to do other than just wait for the interview date, and bring every piece of supporting documentation that we have?

Pre Removal Risk Assessment .....in short ,that's mean if u r not eligible for refuge claim then u can choose PRRA..its like a fast track for refuge claim status and its totally depend on ur luck ....

This just seems odd, but is likely standard operating procedure for CBSA. Why would they issue a removal order, if they know that he had an active spousal sponsorship application AND had already received AIP?!

There was once an `administrative deferral for removal' in place with CBSA that would allow a person to remain in Canada, provided they had an Inland application submitted with CIC. Apparently, that program ended in November 2011 (but CIC has not updated document ip 08 to reflect this change). The new policy seems to be that if a person is issued a removal order, prior to AIP, CBSA would request that CIC expedite the processing to a stage 1 approval (AIP) within 60 days, and if AIP was granted, the applicant could stay until DM (with possible weekly or monthly `check-in' appointments with CBSA). Since you already had AIP, prior to receiving your letter...I'm stumped.

It must be because of the pre-existing issue that he had with CBSA, prior to AIP, but...why would that trump AIP now?!?!

Hopefully, you'll receive DM on, or before, Feb 19, 2014!! Ha! Wouldn't THAT be amazing?!?!?!
