****MARCH 2019 INLAND SPONSORSHIP****

[davey]

Hi everyone, I’m sponsoring my wife who’s already in Canada, we have received AOR few weeks ago. we sent paper application to Mississauga with all the necessary documents and my proof of income ( current job offer letter), unfortunately I changed my employer couple of weeks ago, so should I notify IRCC and send my (sponser) new job offer letter?
Thanks in advance.

Not necessarily. Although IRCC states that one needs to keep their information updated throughout the process, it calls out these as required for notification:

• marriage or divorce or separation
• birth or adoption of a child
• death of an applicant or dependant
• contact information updates, including
  • email
  • phone number
  • mailing address

see more here...https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/track-update-application.html#update

I think it won't hurt to send in the new update about your employer but I would rather send a confirmation of employment letter than a job offer letter.

Were you in status when you applied? If not, then the officer is right.

Do you mind elaborating on this one ? I was in status when we applied and we received AOR one day after my visa expired 21-05-2019, however, I applied for an extension a month ago and I should hear back sometime next week based on the processing time shown in the website. would that impact my OWP application ?

Hi
My partner (Canadian citizen) is sponsoring and we submitted PR & OWP on March 8, received AOR for PR on April 21. April 26 received OWP app back because I paid insufficient fees. Resubmitted May 8.
Medical examination requested May 20.

Is the medical exam requested in terms of PR app only?
My OWP is now back in the queue, does it get lumped with everyone else's or does it get expedited because my PR is in progress?
Can I receive PR before OWP?
How long after medical exam do you receive next set of instructions, and what are those?

Thanks

OWP: Unfortunately you are back on the queue and now It will take between 3 to 4 months, I am Dec 19th, 2018 and resent my OWP they received it on March 4th, due to same missing fee, I have attached the letter but that seems doesn't count, I will be out of status on June 4th and will be reaching the 3 month after I resent it, this really sucks!

In some cases, people get first PR than OWP when they have resubmitted it.

After medical passed, I believe next step is BGC (Back Ground Check) but It could be anytime by the end of the PR process, there is no pattern, could be 4, 5,6, 7 months after medical passed.

And, yes, medical exam is requested just for PR, you don't need this for OWP.

March 14 applicant. Just had the PA's medical exam done today and hopefully everything passes.

Question for background check: Does IRCC do different kinds/levels of background checks depending on the application or is it pretty much the same for all? (like checks for OWP, Visitor, PR Sponsorship)

Hi,

I am also March 2019 inland applicant. I used IMM 5533 (03-2019) Checklist form and I used tracked courier service. In the checklist the address was listed 49 Dorchester Street, Sydney, Nova Scotia, B1P 5Z2 if you're using courier service. However, I called IRCC call centre today and the agent advised that this is wrong address and we should have sent it to 2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300 Mississauga, ON L4Z 1H8.

I am wondering anyone else in this situation and what they had done to rectify this.

It will either be sent back to you or they will forward it to the appropriate office.

 

[saublebeach]

It will either be sent back to you or they will forward it to the appropriate office.

So, it's been 64 days already. If they would have sent it back I would have received it already. I guess they had forwarded to the right office.

Just because it's been 64 days do not assume that. It can take 3+ months. They should be able to tell you if you call. Fingers crossed they just forwarded it on!

Thanks for your input.
Can you post your timeline once you've received word on your OWP?

Sure, I will!

 

[K3nda]

That is true if when you sent application off or when they received it you are out of status as implied status does not count

Were you in status when you applied? If not, then the officer is right.

Do you mind elaborating on this one ? I was in status when we sent the application and when they received it and we received AOR one day after my visa expired 21-05-2019, however, I applied for an extension a month before that and I should hear back sometime next week based on the processing time shown in the website, but I haven't heard anything yet. How would that impact my OWP application ?

Can you guys clarify this for me please ?
