INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

[28january]

Do you have AIP? if so, you can do it online. you can pick new employer for an open work permit.

Yes! Ok that's great then, and it is $255 total?

I swear, their website is designed to test our limits..... trying to apply for OWP extension online here.

I sign in using my bank information, and they ask what I would like to apply for today and Express Entry and IFHP are my only options.

So I figured I have to link my PR application to the account, but there's no family sponsorship option.... there's study permit, work permit, eTA and everything else BUT family class... What am I missing here?

It shouldn't have to be this hard!!!!!!!!

I would REALLY appreciate some assistance here :'(

Just a note for anyone waiting longer than 30 calendar days for their ATIP request:

Q.3: How long does it take?

Both Acts allow for a legal response time of 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of an official request. The Acts also allow for legal extensions to this first 30 calendar-day response time.

The Privacy Act provides for one legal extension of no more than 30 days, which means an institution may take up to 60 days to provide you with a response. The Access to Information Act also provides for a legal extension to the response time for reasons such as the volume of requests and consultations with other parties. You will be notified should an extension of the response time be required under either Act.

So, legally, they need to either provide the information you requested within 30 calendar days, or they can notify you that an extension of no more than 30 extra days is required.

It's like the entire government is like a union on a work-to-rule strike, ensuring that everyone is as useless as possible without crossing the line into punishable behavior.

Usually if the request is straight forward (no special requests, all ID's properly submitted), it is usually sent within 30 days after the request is submitted. We had ours received 35 days (30 days plus 5 days for mail delivery). If special request like French printout in an English speaking province or English printout in Quebec, don't be surprised if the request took more than than 30 days to complete. I wouldn't be.

Anyway how long has it been since you sent in your request?

Hello All,

Here is our timeline
Application submitted- Nov 2014
Application received - Nov 2014
Sponsor Notified - Sep 2015
Processing started for the sponsor approval - Sep 2015

Can anybody tell us how long does it take for AIP so that we can file new work permit as current post graduate work permit is expiring in Feb 2016. We are little concerned as WP processing time alone is more than 100 days. Would appreciate if senior members can guide us through these questions.

1) The reason my wife got PGWP only for 2 years and 3 months instead of 3 years was because of passport expiring in FEB 16. Can we still apply for work permit remaining 9 months? If yes than under which category? PGWP again?

2) Is there any other way to apply for new OWP. I just don't want her career to suffer because of this.

Many thanks to everybody in advance!

have you received a new passport? if so, you can apply for an extension to the PGWP for the remaining of the years (so another 9 months). or you use the pilot program for inland, and apply for a 2 years new open work permit. for either, you need a new passport.

I'd rather apply offline...
Online processing time is longer than a paper application.

OWP application based on spouse sponsorship has different processing time?

 

[SamHom]

Right now it says stage two will take 10 months. Does it take that long in your experience, or is it a good chance it will be faster?

We've waited a few days for DM, some people wait 2-3 months, but most get's the DM about a week after AIP. It is not a rule though, if your case is not straight forward and you have dependents it might be longer.

Whats the DM?

I meant my wife has just been approved to sponsor me (it says that currently takes 16 months on CIC website, it took us 16.5 months). Now we go into stage two, waiting for me to be approved so I can get PR. Right now it says on CIC website that process takes 10 months.

technically you are not applying based on spousal sponsorship, but rather on the fact that you are eligible for residency (sponsorship, CEC or PNP). it used to be case 27. make sure to submit the document from CIC that mentions that you are eligible for residency.

you are still on stage 1. stage 2 starts after AIP. you only have SA. should receive AIP soon.

So you are saying that even if my wife have received an email saying that she has been approved as a sponsor, and that my application for PR will be processed separately, that does not mean that first stage is done? It says that a decision is made and that she has been approved - how can first stage not be done?

because for inland, the first stage involves both sponsor and applicant assessment.

FOR INLAND
Stage 1 - Assessment of sponsor and person being sponsored
Stage 2 - Medical, security, background checks and other verifications for person being sponsored


FOR OUTLAND
Stage 1 - Assessment of Sponsor
Stage 2 - Assessment of Person Being Sponsored (applicant)
