INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[thegorchess]

Called CIC. They said they are talking about the pilot project but there is no set date that it is going to occur and that as it stands you have to wait for AIP which typically takes a year (I guess she meant 16+ months). She heavily implied that AIP might be the quicker route. So useless information. What is the point of a call centre if they have no information?

Yeah that makes no sense at all, The whole point is that we shouldn't have to wait for AIP as that is currently taking 16 Months.

We all need that Work Permit at the AOR stage.

Probably one or two weeks, it really depends, but one thing is for sure OWP is coming soon

oh wow..! thats a good news before Christmas..

I guess they are not informed. This announcement was a suprise for all of us even for them.

Called in today to CIC to inquire about the new policy. the agent that answered me denied any knowledge of the new pilot program. I asked her to check with a supervisor, I think she put me on hold and filed her nails, she said that they haven't received any communication on the subject.
whoever is communicating with go public, is it possible to ask them to call the call-center and ask for updates.

 

[impatienthope]

Does anyone here have experience with filing the OWP after AIP as I did?
How long did you have to wait and is it of any use to call CIC to inquire about it?
I sent the paper application because I did not have the code that was requested to be
able to file online.

Thanks and congrats to all new AIP and DM's, we all need this news to lighten our spirits.

AIP is faster than the pilot project then what the point Minister's spokesperson announced about the pilot project yesterday to the public. Call centre is useless, as always. It was a shocking news to all of us, I think they will need a day or two to wake up too

 

[thegorchess]

Yeah, but they should have expected a hell of a lot of calls after making that statement to CBC. There should have been an all staff email explaining how to respond to such calls. CIC is poorly run. Top to bottom.

 

[bankerguy]

Aside from the CBC link and the change petition link, is there anything posted on the actual CIC website regarding this pilot project???

I need hard proof that this is indeed in effect

thanks,

where's the statement CIC actually made? all that's on the cbc site is a one liner about some forthcoming change. this doesn't suggest at ALL they actually called someone inside CIC. For all we know, they got this info from an already released statement about something else entirely OR a letter was sent suggesting change is coming to appease the situation. CBC seems to be somewhat irresponsible in their journalism, so UNTIL CIC actually makes a statement or releases a notice, who's to say they actually said anything at all? I think it's best to hope for the best, and wait for a real announcement than to speculate on a topic that has more questions than answers at this point.

They sent this to him including his Medical Report Form.
Is this AIP?

The thing is he doesn't have his open work permit yet and they already asking to do his medical..? Confusing.. We have a friend that got his open work permit before his medical form..

And we have a huge problem right now, my husband cannot renew his Alberta Drivers License because he doesn't have a work permit. Even his healthcare is already expired..!!! Please help..! I will appreciate it..!!

tnx folks..! God Bless Us..!!

Congrts. This is aip. Try to bring this to the registry and apply for healthcare and renewal. I dont know if it works with the renewal of license but in health care, it said on website that we can get coverage on the first positive response of your application. I just hope they dont make a big fuss on the medical requirement phrase as that is a requirement for stage 2. But just try. Dont give up on the first registry. Go to at least 3 registries.
Have you filed your owp? If yes, then it might be in process. You can call. And yes medical is for stage 2.
I got the same letter but dodnt mention about medical as i did upfront so i guess that was still okand also mentioned about owp.

I guess this is a hard proof some guys are talking about?


“The Minister has instructed officials to launch a one-year pilot program that will allow inland spousal sponsorship applicants to receive a work permit more quickly. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will take the necessary steps to speed up processing for work permit applicants in the inland spousal class while maintaining program integrity. This pilot program will ensure that, during the processing period, applicants will be able to work, provide for their families and contribute to the Canadian economy.”

great! where is this posted? where can it be found on the CIC site?

It is an email from CIC sent to CBC, requesting an update to be posted late afternoon yesterday. It was passed on to the Facebook group Admin team. In their email chain, there is a note from Kevin, saying the pilot will take effect in coming days. They have PDF file of these emails posted on Facebook page. I cannot attach it here.
