INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[Alurra71]

Finally received correspondence from CIC, so I am guessing they received my police certs. The thing is, it doesn't say a decision has been made, just that the application is completed and transferred to the office in my city. Is this DM or am I suppose to be waiting for yet another letter? Just a tad confuse now, especially since I already hae my OWP and CIC sd in the letter that I am eligible to apply for OWP? ??? ??? ???

"This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law
partner in Canada class.

It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident
status as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.

We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The
Canada Immigration Centre in WINNIPEG will contact you concerning your permanent resident
status.

Please note: At the time of your appointment, you and your family members, if any, will
be required to present the original identification document(s) to the Canada Immigration
Centre. A final decision concerning the granting of permanent residence status will be
made at that time. If permanent residence is granted, the name that will appear on the
confirmation of permanent resident document is your name as it appears on your
passport or identity documents.

You may now apply for an open work permit, which will allow you to work in the occupation and
location of your choice. You may also apply for a study permit. If applying for a study permit
please ensure you include a letter from the educational institution you plan to attend. The letter
should outline the type of course or program for which you are registered, the start date and the
expected completion date. To obtain the correct forms please visit the Citizenship and
Immigration Canada Internet web site at [http://www.cic.gc.ca] or contact the Immigration Call
Centre at the number indicated below.

Passports for yourself and your family members must be valid for the duration of your stay in

What is conditional permanent residence?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has introduced amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (the Regulations) which apply to spouses, common-law or conjugal partners in a relationship of two years or less with their sponsor and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application.

We do not have children, but we have 4 years common law (6 years total relationship, 4 years living together, including marriage)... so why we will be judge only by the time that we have married? why wouldnt they take in account the time common-law? it clearly says "in a relationship" ... if they do put the condition on my PR i will try and protest.. i mean, they are taking my 6 years realtionshio and 2 years married, only as a 2 years marriage, so like if i just met my hubby 2 years ago and married him in a week? NOT FAIR!

Plus, Max is my husband, hahaha MaxLet comes by Maxence & Leticia lol

I don't believe that your PR would be conditional then, seeing as how you'd been together for longer than two years. Either way, if you were able to provide proof that you'd been in a relationship before you were married, I don't see why you would have condition 51 on your PR.

Here's the quote from CIC:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has introduced amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (the Regulations) which apply to spouses, common-law or conjugal partners in a relationship of two years or less with their sponsor and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application.

I don't see why they wouldn't count your relationship before marriage as it is just as important!

Question: if I got my AIP can I go to school.

Question: if I got my AIP can I go to school.

No, I don't think so. Not unless you already had a student visa and can go for an extension. As far as I know, you can only get a work permit, and that's only if you apply. My work permit also states that while I am allowed to work I am most definitely not allowed to go to school. You have to wait until you have PR.

In Ontario you will be assessed domestic fees after AIP. You still need a study permit if your program is 6 months or longer.

Actually Cmathslu If you get AIP you can go to school. Instead of applying for an OWP when you get AIP you can apply for a study permit. You would have to have a letter of acceptance from the school you are going to attend. The only downfall is even with AIP some schools still require you to pay international fees.

Yes this. Ontario is the only province that charges domestic fees after AIP. You just have to follow the instructions to apply for study permit. Another requirement is to show your savings. You need to show you can support yourself for a year at least. Also nice thing is if you're granted study permit you will automatically get an off campus work permit. They just recently changed the rules.


Edit: support yourself AND pay for international tuition fees.

So we know there has been a slight bit of movement FINALLY from the Mississauga office....

Wonder what our chances are of seeing another date than July8...I am soooo tired of seeing July 8...lol

Seems since we got the letters that our files were offficially moved to Mississauga, they must have changed who it is that updates our Processing Time page. They don't seem to update it until Friday or Saturday now, right?!?

Hope to see some more AIPs and DMs on here soon! Congrats to all who have recieved! I LOVE seeing these!!!
