INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[Daizey]

Hello All,

Congratulations to everyone who has had good news

I do have a question as to the income of sponsor.
I just heard from one of my friend saying that the income of sponsor is quite important in this category.
What I believe was that the income is only a matter when there is a dependent of relationship. If not, the amount of income is not important.

Do you guys have any information regarding that?
After I heard the "news", I am worried about our stage 1. We both are student; so I, as a sponsor, had almost no income when I applied.
My T4 and Option C printout income were like $12,000 since I was only able to work over the summer.

Any ideas? please provide me with information.

Found this over at http://www.immigroup.com/news/income-requirement-canadian-spousal-and-other-family-sponsorship-applications

It is a common misconception that there is a specific income requirement to be able to sponsor your spouse to Canada.

While you must meet a concrete requirement to sponsor almost any other family member, there is no such income requirement at all for spousal sponsorship applications.

The financial requirements for spousal sponsorship include:

You must not be receiving welfare benefits from any province.
You must not be in bankruptcy proceedings, and previous bankruptcy claim must have been discharged

Both of these requirements must be met at the time you submit your spousal sponsorship application, but there is no specific length of time you need to wait before you can send the application in. In other words, you can submit your spousal sponsorship application the day after you stop receiving welfare benefits or your bankruptcy is discharged.

However, if you are receiving Employment Insurance benefits (unemployment) or disability benefits, you may still sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner as these benefits do not count as welfare.

In order to make the ability to sponsor your spouse accessible to people at all income levels, CIC does not require that applicants earn any certain amount of money. They are also comparitively lenient about this requirement, as previous bankruptcy or receipt of welfare benefits do not normally reflect poorly on an application.


Hope this helps!

Re: OHIP - 3 months wait exemption for Inland

Hi,

I wanted to ask if there is anyway to get OHIP's 90 day wait time exempted for Inland sponsorship.
This is for a relative, she received her first stage approval - AIP, and can apply for OHIP, she has been here on visitors visa and then out of status for about two years.
she has her delivery date in two weeks.

thankyou,

I think I read something before saying the three months can't be waived, but the hospital can do sth like to bill your relative later for all the fees.

She'd better hurry to talk to her OB or hospital of her choice about her situation and available options.

I was under the impression that they didn't really care about proof since the application was filed? Were they not asking for more proof from before you filed?

Do you think this means we should send additional documents to this address from now on?

 

[My_new_username]

Any SCLPC applications that CPC-V has not commenced processing will be routed internally to CPC-M.

Any SCLPC applications received at CPC-V after January 17, 2014, will be routed internally to CPC-M. :-\

I am not sure; however, it does state that "Any SCLPC applications received at CPC-V after January 17, 2014, will be routed internally to CPC-M."

This may mean that any additional documents may be routed internally to CPC-M. I would call CIC before to confirm the right place to send stuff to.

You mean she came to `visit' her husband, right?

 

[Daizey]

Lol, no she's actually a citizen now, she moved from Georgia to New York to be close to the border so she could see him while she was in the process of becoming a PR. So yeah, I guess you could say she visited before she started living with him! It's funny, back then I thought she was crazy moving up to Canada, now I know what love does and how far you'll go for that special person in your life.

This worries me. Are they saying that any application that they have not began to process is being routed to Mississauga? That's basically all applications from probably July 2013 onwards.. or am I mistaken?
