INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[sophieee]

How do you know Sophie?

There are a few people on the spreadsheet who are not registered but reading either the forum or the FB group and they're sending me updates through email.

Yup, just got off the phone with the call centre. This letter is the second part of stage 1 approval - AIP. Ha! I got the first part 4 months ago! They're certainly taking their sweet time. One. Painful. Step. At. A. Time.

Oh well, I'm happy. As you say, it means they're working on our file and hopefully this means they'll keep at it. Maybe we'll get another email later today! I've seen that happen on this forum. I wish hubby could be more optimistic. He feels like he's being tortured (can't say I blame him).

OMFG!! Really??? 4 months!! Oh crap!!

Looks like we are in the same boat as you on this one.

Yes, that letter is your OFFICIAL AIP.

Did they give you an explanation about the delay between Sponsor Approval and AIP?

I was told this is the new way they are processing them...

I was sooooo hoping we would get AIP, and my husband could get a job before our son's bday (Dec.16) and Xmas. Plus hubby's bday is beginning of January.... *sigh*

Do you have an red flags or irregularities that you can think of that might have caused this?

Yes, and her husband received an open work permit few weeks after she was approve as a Sponsor. So definitely, you just have to ask for an open work permit now ACA ;D

I believe they included the OWP with their Inland application.

Hi! I might have some good news for you. We rec'd the first part of AIP on July 17 (sponsor approval) and we crossed our fingers and hubby applied for a work permit a day or two later. He received it a little over a month later - it is dated August 19 and is valid for two years. So, if you've rec'd the first part (I think I saw that you did?), he can apply for a work permit. At least, it worked for us.

He still has had no luck getting an Alberta driver's license or healthcare though. :-[

Yes, we applied for OWP along with our PR application. Would be BEAUUUUTIFUL if an OWP showed up.

But the Call Center Reps (cuz we all know how ACCURATE they are : ??? : ) said that they OWP wouldn't start being processed in Vegreville UNTIL my husband gets his AIP email....

If you left Canada and have now returned, you no longer have "implied status" from the OWP application. From now on, you will have to apply for extensions. I'm sure that you already know this, but it's something that many people are unaware of.

Yes the officer told me I need to extend! Thank you!

We sent our OWP along with our PR.

I wonder if we should just apply for an OWP online then?? And not wait for them to process the one sent with our Application?

Thoughts anyone? Could it hurt anything to send in a 2nd one online now??? Which form did you use online? It's been so long since we sent ours in, I can't remember any more...

 

[folks-g]

Hey guys congrats to all its been awhile being a pr of canada feels good. So i got a question is it true that applicants without status can't qualify for inland sponsorship now at least that's what i saw on the guide on the cic website.

I'm glad you asked, I meant to put that in my last message - we had to do a hard copy and snail mail it. It would not let us apply online. We phoned the call centre and they sent us the link to the correct form because that - like everything else with this process - was confusing. Getting the work permit was the fastest, easiest and least confusing part of this whole ordeal! There are also a couple of limitations on the permit. He can't go to school or work in the sex trade. Haha!

All I can give is my opinion but I can't see why it would hurt to send another application. But, who knows?
