****MARCH 2018***** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP INSIDE OF CANADA
- Thread starter E.R.Z784
- Start date
Hi everyone,
Been following the thread for awhile, so thanks (and good luck) to everyone who posts. I have a general inquiry about leaving Canada while the PR paperwork is pending.
My work permit has expired during my spousal PR application, and I am on the verge of receiving the OWP shortly (hopefully within 1-3 weeks). This happened as I was only given a single year Work Permit (LMIA-exempt under NAFTA) from CBSA but am on a two-year contract from my company. Thus I am on "implied status". I am from the USA and need to leave the country for 3 days next week, going back to the US for a very quick trip. I am from a visa-exempt country, so getting back into Canada should be fine, but I think I will lose my implied status and have to stop working, no? Will this simply be at the discretion of the CBSA as to whether I lose the implied status? If I leave, should I simply enter as a visitor? I also realize they may say that I have "abandoned my application" by leaving Canada, which is unfortunate. I am not trying to cheat the system, but have a family event that was planned over a year ago.
I know it's risky, but has anyone had experience with leaving Canada while awaiting their OWP/PR application?
APPLICATION FOR PR & OWP SENT: March 12, 2018
(Schedule A and PCC submitted upfront)
APPLICATION RECEIVED: March 13, 2018
AOR RECEIVED: April 11, 2018

Hi @MGC,
My understanding, and I could be wrong, is in line with what you've posted. When you leave Canada you forfeit your implied status; meaning that you will attempt to re-enter Canada you will be making an entirely new application for entry into Canada.
You will have to convince the CBSA officer that you will fulfil all the conditions of the type of entry you are seeking. In this case as a visitor.
This means that without proper authorization you are not allowed to work in Canada. You will also have to show that you have sufficient funds to sustain yourself, insurance, and that you have sufficient ties to return to your home country (or leave Canada otherwise) at the end of your alotted stay, or until your status in Canada changes.
It comes down to the officer on the day, but if they look at it objectively; they'll see that you don't have a job outside of Canada and that it's probably very likely that you will work in Canada without the proper authorization and therefore be justified in denying you entry.
This is why it's recommended that anyone on an inland application does not leave Canada until they've either received the OWP, or AIP (but even then there's the risk of being denied entry).
Once you're denied entry, your inland application + OWP application will be abandoned.

Hello. I am a Canada PR and recently married (in Feb 2018). I am an Indian national and my Spouse is a Vietnam national. I need to apply for her PR Sponsorship as a spouse. Can I have her apply for a Visitor Visa first (TRV) and then apply for her PR as an inland applicant ? If I can do this - how long should her stay be indicated in her Visitor Visa application ? 6 months or can it be more ? Please advise. Thanks!
Hi March applicants!
As we round the three month mark, I’m wondering if any March applicants have received OWP (if you applied for one)?
Seems like they are still finishing up OWPs for late Feb applicants, but curious if anyone who applied in March has received there’s yet?
Hoping for good news in a few weeks time as I’m March 19th OWP application received.

Hey Matt,
have you already received "background check started" status? We have received "medical passed" on May 15 and since then - silence.
What is the most common status right now?
Hi, no I haven’t had my background check started, but also have passed the medical exam in May. No news since then either. I’m expecting the next step to be OWP eligibility review and then hopefully getting the OWP.
Not sure what the most common status is now for March applicants but guessing it’s the same for most people. Seems like a lot of the Feb applicants got their OWP around the 4 month mark but I’m hoping for Miné at the 3 - 3 and a half mark... though that is entirely wishful thinking
Hello Everyone,
I have received my AOR on 10 June, and I have linked my application (PR) but I am not able to link my OWP application. I am on Visitor Visa and applied for Inland PR application with OWP
What option Do I need to select for Which situation applies to the applicant? Applied for a PR as a spouse or Common law partner in Canada?
Many Thanks
