2. Unless you apply to change your status to visitor, you will be in Canada without status after your IEC expires. Submitting an Inland Spousal Sponsorship application alone does NOT give anyone implied status. Most people submit an OWP (Open Work Permit) with the Inland application, but...since you did not, I'd get a visitor visa application ready.beholder69 said:
Hi Ponga, thanks for your answer! Forgot to mention I have indeed sent an OWP application with my sponsorship. I know that you can send a sponsorship application even if you are out of status, I'm mostly interested in being able to stay here without risking any trouble. So you think I should apply for a visitor record anyway?Ponga said:

I agree, things will all happen in time, and yes they're processing according to what the timeline is. The reason people are losing patience (especially those that applied late July and August) is because they were making super duper fast progress in January and February. It got as low as 6 months for processing on their website! When it stopped on late June in February and only updated to July 8th for the past 3 months, and processing times went from 6 months to 9, those that were soooo close were very disappointed. It's very easy to judge others when you haven't been in their shoes. We were almost there and then everything stopped. It's just very disappointing, and people are voicing their concerns. Nothing wrong with that, in fact isn't that one of the reasons this forum exists? To help each other through these hard times? Maybe you can handle it, but some people may be in more dire circumstances than you. Some people need to vent, and this is where they feel comfortable doing that. Where did all the nice people go on this thread that used to help everyone feel better? It seems all doom and gloom now, and people losing patience. We need our cheerleaders back! Maybe they've all left because they got AIP or DMazarme09 said:

It happened the same with me, I ordered my notes in February and it said was stopped since December, 2013.bruneian said:
Daizey, I completely agree with you. I'm sure azarme09 would have a very different outlook if he were a July or August applicant who had gone through the extremely disappointing process you just described. I know my attitude is completely different now than it was at the beginning of this. I certainly did not judge others who were having a rough time when I started on this forum though. That isn't helpful or necessary. And you're right, there used to be a group of wonderful people on here who helped to pick each other up when we were feeling despair about this lengthy and frustrating process. I think every single person on this forum who had to wait 9, 10 months or more had a break down at some point. Even the eternally optimistic ones, myself included. This is especially true if you or your spouse is unable to work the whole time. For the newbies, 8, 9, 10 months into the process, if you're still waiting, you'll go through a whole range of emotions. Some days you will be in despair. And if that happens, hopefully you can come to this forum and someone will be here to pick you up and help you get through your day.Daizey said:I agree, things will all happen in time, and yes they're processing according to what the timeline is.

I would definitely order your option Cs and send them. While there is no income requirement for sponsoring a spouse in Canada, CIC will want to be assured that if they award you PR status that you won't become a burden on the tax payers by going on welfare. I would definitely order them and send them. When you send them, be sure to write your application # (usually starts with 'F') as well as the client ID you may have.beholder69 said:
I know for me that when we came to Canada and made the decision to 100% commit to this process, the timeline showed 6 months and had been showing 6 months for a long time. That's the number we used to do a rough budget for living on one income. That's the number (plus the 8 months for DM) that we looked at for my partner being away from his family and his country for the first time ever.azarme09 said:
You have no idea what you're talking about. Just wait for your turn and see how you react when your application gets delayed, delayed and delayed again and you have no idea what's going on, you start to feel insecure and useless, and you get sick but can't go to hospital, and your parents back home are sick but can't travel abroad. and etc...and when you think you're finally getting the AIP very soon, the process gets delayed again... Please put yourself in other people's shoes before making these kind of assumptions.azarme09 said:
Guys, this is getting a little bit out of hand. I have been through this process and while others here may frustrate you with their opinions it is exactly that: an opinion... and you know what they say about those.JohnnyP said:
