INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[shyla36]

Hi guys!

I'm just wondering now... I'm october 2013 applicant, i obviously still have no news regarding my application, I'm on a visitor visa now. I did not submit OWP with my initial application (which I regret now), so could I do it just now? Leaving a note 'do not process until AIP'? Would I get OWP with AIP, or that doesn't save it and I would still receive OWP somewhere around a month after AIP? thanksssssss

If you intend to work soon, sending owp is a good idea. Regardless if it comes with aip or months after. As you know, no one can tell when dm would come. Some dont send owp because if dm comes almost at the same time, then the owp fee becomes a waste. But, no one can tell. Thats my opinion.

You can apply online for an OWP after getting AIP. On the CIC website online applications show a processing time of 16 days.

am i understanding that with a family sponsorship application in progress , we could apply for a owp if we have an lmo and not jeopardise our family sponsorship application

I think yes, but if you have LMO i think you can only apply for WP not OWP. You are exclusively working for the employer who signed your LMO for a certain of time.

Unless you have work permit.

Seniors correct me if I am wrong, due to family sponsorship and you have LMO you can changed your status as a temporary worker. Once you are approved, they will provide you a temporary SIN until you get your PR. From here you can apply for drivers license..

I don't know why some sponsored spouse having a problem getting drivers license here in Ontario. I came here as student, I learned my driving skills here in Canada. Since We applied for the sponsorship, I changed my address and they have not question my status. I still retained my drivers license and been driving everyday to my volunteer.

You can look for work (apply for jobs etc.) at any time even on a visitor's record. You just can't work until you have a WP or PR status etc. If your potential employer can get a LMO before you get AIP it might be worth looking into.

My partner was able to get a driver's license on a visitor record but that was for BC. It might depend what province you are living in.

just got off phone with icbc they say i need letter stating approval in principle before getting commercial licence . im from usa and am a teamster and over 15 years of exp. they also said that on a case by case basis for a comercial licence with a work permit . Wish i had know this earlier . so many people here are so helpfull . i just got my msp card after i read on here it was possible and now this . although i wish i had know this earlier that i might be able to get a commercial licence with a wp and not have it affect my sponsorship for pr

yeah for a commercial license makes sense you need AIP or WP.

My partner just got a regular class 5 license.

As long as you are in status now, having a pending temporary status application will also give you "implied status" (meaning you remain in status until they decide on your temporary application). That means you don't have to renew your visitor status.
