Yes, July 22 and I just received 2 separate emails one to my wife and one to me.
I think they are the "Sponsorship Approval" and "Approval in Principle".
The 1st Ltr said
"You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent Residence
(APR) for your relative will be processed separately and he/she will be contacted shortly."
the 2nd ltr said
"It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent
residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class"
11 months and 2 days man. Since I did not attached the OWP application with my original application, I guess I am not able to apply for OWP rite guys?? (and I am completing the OWP application form now)
After this long wait, can someone kindly advise on what is the next step would be like in relation to OWP & OHIP & SIN?
I know the final decision is not made yet (They can take up to 8 months
but at least I can contribute to the family income.
As a Chinese and I have to depend on my wife's income in the last 12 months it just frustrated.
Anyhow, may good news to the rest of us soon.
