Do you remember what all documents you uploaded? Like were they from the video or anything else extra that should also be uploaded? Please if you can help thanks

First of all, it has been quite some time that I went through the process so I am a bit foggy on both the process and the contents of the video.

Second of all, to answer your questions, I only have a vague recollection of what I submitted, but yes, we submitted proofs that the sponsor is employed in a stable job and in good standing with CRA by filing taxes. We also submitted our marriage licence with client information letter to prove that we are part of Spouse or Common Law Partner in Canada class. Otherwise we duly followed what was asked in the checklist.

I am not a certified/approved agent nor I have any legal basis so please do not consider this as legally sound advice. Exercise every caution and follow all rules before completing and submitting your application. IRCC is fair in their judgement, so if you follow the checklist properly and they still need something additional from you, there is also a procedural fairness step that the case officer applies before making final decision. You must regularly keep checking your application portal and email after submission in case there is request for additional documentation.

Hopefully this helps you.

For my wife’s Open Work Permit application, we included the following additional documents under the Client Information PDF. Please note that this is based on our specific case, and your required documents may differ depending on your circumstances. I highly recommend reviewing the IRCC guidelines or consulting with an expert to confirm the necessary documents for your application.

Here’s the list of additional documents we submitted under Client Information PDF:

1. AOR for Inland Sponsorship Application – Confirmation email.
2. Proof of Submission for Inland Sponsorship Application – Email with the subject "Your Permanent Residence application has been successfully submitted."
3. Official Receipt for Spousal Sponsorship Application – Payment receipt.
4. Proof of Valid Temporary Resident Status
5. Marriage Certificate
6. Sponsor's Canadian Passport
7. Applicant’s Birth Certificate – For identity verification.
8. Applicant’s National Identity Document – As an additional proof of identity.
9. Digital Photo – Back side of the photo showing the photographer’s information, as per IRCC requirements.

This is what worked for us, but requirements can vary, so it’s always a good idea to double-check! Wishing you the best of luck with your application!

There is no need to specify financial documents or prove your relationship for open work permit if you already applied for inland spousal PR and got your acknowledgement of receipt (as far as I know). You already did tjay for the pr application. You just need to include the email and specify the code in the applicaiton. However, I did this months ago so I dont know whether anything changed sincd then.

Already spoke to my local MP, and told them after destroying the military, destroying the economy, destroying Canada's image the last thing they are destroying on their way out is immigration.

The fact that people can have a baby faster than they can sponsor a spouse is a total joke and these people should be ashamed of what they have done to what was once an immigration system that was the envy of the world.

They gave me an intake form and said they will assist with my case but I don't think that means anything as this is a lame-duck government that is on its way out. When we applied the processing time was 9 months. It is now 8 months and a few days. I'll wait until the 9 month mark.

I urge all of you to get your sponsor to write your MP. What they have done to the immigration system is a total joke. Endless portals, endless emails, endless statuses. These people increased the public service but decreased the quality of service.

Last thing. MPs claim that IRCC is an arm's leg agency that they have no influence over but this is total BS; they have endlessly let in and bent the rules for unproductive refugees on benefits, students in breach of their conditions, and many other cases.

Don't complain to get preferential treatment, remember - we have all paid a fee for this service that should be conducted in a reasonable and responsible manner. What Liberal policies have done is destroyed that promise.

You are wrong about Canadian immigration system. It was never a superior one. It looked like so mostly because of the lower volume of applications as well as the threshold. It collapsed immediately as the incompetent government decided to maneuver it and someone managed to exploit it.

So it looks like June 2024 folks are getting Sponsor Approval as of last Friday.

I'm hoping this means we get P1 and P2 emails in the first two weeks of February. If not then I am going to bite the bullet and apply for a SOWP for my wife so she doesn't run out of status (April 12 2025).

What a total clusterf%^&*

I got my P1 and P2 three weeks ago and I replied to them promptly, but I still wait for them to issue my eCOPR. I know that the official processing time was 12 months (Now, it says 24 months!), but I don't really understand why it takes so long to issue once all stages are officially done. Some people wait for months. Probably there is a reason for it. I saw April applicants getting their eCOPRs quickly before Christmas. So, I assumed we could get ours at this point, but I guess it is not always strictly consistent. I don't even know how long it takes to get the PR Card.
