Whoa relax buddy. I dont understand why people get so bent out of shape when you post something on this forum.

Anyways below is an old AIP somebody got at the beginning of the year. The wording is different and from my understanding the sponsors were not getting the AIP emails. All im pointing is the difference in the emails I don't know if Todare's email is AIP. Correct me if I'm wrong.

THIS IS AIP. THERE'S ONLY 2 STAGES, NOT THREE. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM AIP? UNLIKE THE OUTLAND APPS, INLAND APPS GIVE SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL AND ALSO ASSES YOUR RELATIONSHIP, IF THEY HAVE ANY DOUBTS THEY DONT ISSUE SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL (AIP)

Friends,

I have a quick question regarding the mail I got from CIC. This is the approval of the OWP. In the second paragraph of the mail snapshot below states that my application will not be complete till the medicals, security and background checks are complete. This is confusing to me as I have already submitted my medicals and background/security check documents with my application.

Is this just a standard mail response or do I need to talk to CIC about this?

Thanks,
niks1

Hehe, I think maybe they just forgot they had their caps lock on, some people don't realize all caps is yelling. I'm sure they weren't trying to offend. :) In regards to the AIP, I was always under the impression that AIP meant sponsor was approved (stage 1), and when the sponsored persons application is done being processed, that was DM (stage 2). I think the email saying the person you're sponsoring will be receiving notification is in regards to DM, especially since they seem to be doing AIPs and DMs so close together lately. The wording in the email may be different, but I'm pretty sure it's still AIP.
 
Lawyer says it is only sponsership approval. If you call it AIP or not is no difference. I always regarded AIP as the seperate letter that comes to the sponsered person approving your application. Maybe the confusion is that permenant residence and AIP sometimes seem the same thing. Who knows. Lawyer says letter saying AIP coming to sponsered person is AIP.

You have received 1st stage approval! Which means if u applued for a work permit u will get an email that it was apporved soon!...ur lawyer might be referring to outland applications as sponsorship approval is 1 month and they only check to see that the sponsor doesnt have any criminal record, not rcving social assistance etc! Inlamd however they go beyond that, they also look at the sponsored spouse, check for any redflags etc! So if they have any concerns about crimal records for spo sored spouse, medical history or the relationship they transfeer ur file, without approving the sponsor, to a local office for further reviewing!

Just want to clarify sth about the AIP:

The email sent to the sponsor saying eligible to sponsor does NOT equal to AIP, which is the email/letter sent to the applicant saying meet the requirement to apply for PR.

There are cases that the sponsor received approval of sponsorship, but the applicant only receives a letter requesting further supportive documents.

You will need the letter saying that you meet the requirement to apply for PR, for health card or Open work permit.

You can always check ECAS online to see if "sponsorship" has changed to "decision made" to determine if AIP is granted or not.

The DM letter is easier to identify by saying your application has decision made.

I've been waiting for DM for 4 moths now since getting AIP in Feb. Not sure when I'll hear back maybe next month who knows.

In the same boat here. We got AIP on February 17th. Thankfully I also received my OWP, but man I would love to be done with waiting for DM. So did those of us who stayed in Vegreville just get stuck in a file?

Your lawyer is right.

I'm also waiting for the DM after receiving AIP in Feb. Though the wait is not that bitter with a two-year OWP granted and hopefully Vegreville clears up our files soon.
