Linden, I would like to talk to a lawyer and thank you for the advice. But last time I talked to a lawyer and involved him in another case I got into a debt and he also messed everything up. I'm not saying anything against lawyers, its just that we are not in a position to get a lawyer at this point financially.Linden said:
Argh! This whole process is so frustrating. I've been through so many ups and downs as well. Try to stay positive. It's all we can do!ACS said:Congrats ruppcs!!!
I just got my.....GCMS notes! Might not be AIP, but anything is exciting at this point... :
I was almost hyperventilating at work, until I looked at them.....27 pages of nothing pretty much. My husbands medical says not started, though looks like it was extended til September (or it would have already expired in June). My status as sponsor, Not Started. My husbands criminality says In Process.
There were NO notes about us, and what they think of our relationship.
The only thing was an email from CPC Etobicoke and CPC-M, because we sent in a Request for Criminal Rehabilitation For Information Only, since we are unsure if the record he has in the US makes him ineligible. (He crossed from Canada to US in 2005). There is no corresponding section in the criminal code in Canada, and the call center advised us to proceed that way. So in March Etobicoke sent an email to CPC-M asking if they are going to keep our Application and process it, or if they will be sending it to Etobicoke for processing.....
No response on file since March about that....
*sigh* stressss....nervous........now I got a crazy headache at work!!!
if you are approved as a sponsor, you can apply for OWP. Its as simple as that. The Call center agents some times don't know what they are talking about. if they have any concerns about the OWP application they will let you know. I'd say go ahead and apply.ruppcs said:
Hi Linxord, back year 2011 I was applying work (this was the second time of coming to Canada for work) and when everything was almost done they were asking me a new passport and they were giving me a deadline for submission but because I know I won't be able to make it before the deadline so I wrote a letter to CIC with solid explanation that I won't be able to make it so they were giving me additional extention to get it done. And I also i think u can apply for a passport renewal to your Consulate as long as you have documents to prove to them that you have an ongoing application.linxord said:
What did the email from CIC say? Does it say you can apply for an OWP. Sounds like you only got sponsorship approval but not the AIP email. Someone else mentioned they got the sponsorship but AIP email right away.ruppcs said:
No. AIP is approval of sponsor + the assessment of the relationship that the applicant has with the sponsor.ruppcs said:
I think you need the AIP addressed to the Applicant which mentions the 'Applicant being eligible for PR processing'. I don't think the sponsors AIP cuts it. Looks like they need a few relationship proofs to issue you that AIP. But i could be wrong, wait for someone more knowledeable to confirm this.ruppcs said:
Take a look on the flowchart from page 44 of CIC's operating manualLinden said:
Don't worry about the notes. When I got my GCMS notes a few weeks before my AIP+DM, most of the stuff said 'Not started' or 'In process'. I was worried about the background checks because I knew criminality was done and that the medical is always processed after stage 1 as I was hoping for all of those items to be completed so I could get AIP+DM at the same time..ACS said:Congrats ruppcs!!!

I think the only thing that changed is that CPC-V didn't usually send the email (sponsorship approval) to the sponsor until AIP was approved. I think in the OP's case CPC-M just wants too see a couple more additional documents before granting AIP.Ponga said:
