INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[tica1008]

Hi Everyone congratulations to those who already have finished this rough proccess.

I sent my application on Nov 14 and it was received by CIC V on Nov 15.

For months I wanted for my AOR and nothing I finally decided to call cic and then everybody was giving me not very smart answers finally an agent set up an ivestigation they found the application and told me that there was something wrong and they were going to send it back "when they get around to it" this was in early january.

Finally yesterday I received my full aplication with a letter dated February 12 (funny they sent i via expedited mail, after 3 months!!!!)

The letter says that the form 5285 is old (whioch i swear was not updated yet at the beggining of nov when i printed them all and that we need to send a new one.

I also says that the OWP application fee increades $5 bucks so we need to pay the extra amount.

It asks us to send the application with the corrections to CPC MISSISAUGA as soon as possible and that my husband needs to get a visitor record because he is on IEC and he cannot have Implied status which we knew (BUT ANYONE ELSE ON A WORK PERMIT, VISITOR VISA OR STUDY PERMIT CAN BENEFIT FROM IMPLIED STATUS BECAUSE YOU CAN SEND THE OWP APPLICATION TO CPC M-THE ONLY CHANGE IS THE CPC NOTHING ELSE CHANGED.

I just wanted to light the darkness about the changes recenty made to the application proccess and I wanted to vent. I guess now im a 2014 applicant. Hopefully whoever opens my file next will feel bad for us and expedite the aip at least so that my husband is out of work for the least amount of time his owp expires on May 16th.

Anyways, Have a great day everyone.

I must admit that I love your spirit Harmin...and your posts are hilarious sometimes!

I agree!

 

[JLynn1987]

If you are a us citizen then send in the FBI and maybe your state certificate. If they want RCMP, they will request it, but for us citizen not likely.

Thanks Allura. I plan to send both the federal and state checks when I receive the results. Hopefully this will be enough! I will report back for anyone else wondering.

Hello guys! Things are looking a little brighter now that I finally got some useful answers!
Called alberta health and the nice lady issued my number right away, so I can get a regular check up.

Also called the CIC call centre, and they were yet again so nice and he issued a new OWP to me, which is being sent out in about 2-4 weeks!

Got a medical exam in Calgary on March 15th so now there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Congrats on AIP and OWPs guys!! Oh and the landings too

Hello guys,

Please I am new here, I need your advice on my application, my wife & I have submitted our application for Inland spousal sponsorship since August 04/2013 and prior to then I have also submitted my Open Work Permit application in July 12/2013. Please can anyone tell me how long it takes for first stage of approval in principle? Also presently I was laid-off in my place of work and would this affect my application because obviously I am not working now and my wife is pregnant, pretty soon she will stop working and can this disqualify her from sponsoring me? If she stop working due to pregnancy can this stop my application? I have got other jobs but I don't have work permit to provide my would be employers. Folks I need your help.

Regards,
Seed of Abraham

Hello,

I believe that doesn't disqualify her as there is no income requirement for sponsoring a spouse. That said, she can't be on welfare though.

Im sure she can be on E.I for pregnancy!!!

Yes. EI and Welfare are not the same.

 

[Seed of Abraham]

Yes. EI and Welfare are not the same.

Thanks guys, please pardon my ignorance can anyone one shed light on what constitute a welfare? Can anyone list those benefits? Subsidizing housing rent from housing authority is it part of them, thank you folks

i think going on welfare means the applicant cant get a job/disability and government pays portion of their basic amenities like housing, fone bills, e.t.c

Hi guys..

I just called CIC Call Centre to see if they have any receipt updates on the additional documents that I sent. The agent said she doesn't see any confirmation on the notes. Then I went ahead to ask if my file was in CPC-Vegreville or was it transferred to Mississauga. She put me on hold to verify and came back to say that it was currently in CPC-M and was so since Feb 6th, sigh

C'mon CIC show us July applicants some love toooo

Yes that what I was thinking , Vegreville kept all applications until June 2013 , the rest of us (July,August etc) got tranfer to Mississauga . I think that's why we experienced this dramatic decrease on good news this past 14 days . CPC M is just getting ready to rip tru some files like a lightning!!!!!
