her Open work permit will expire in May 2018. Yeah you are right we will just wait with the landing schedule. thank you very much profiler! What a wonderful day this is. And we just came back here in Canada yesterday. We were at Cuba for a week. Lol! We got the relaxation we need and now a great news to make it perfect!
the coverage doesn't change from OWP to AIP to COPR. Healthcare is healthcare. So, for my wife, we found it was just better to wait, and to do it all in the same morning...
This doesn't apply to ur case but some ppl who went thru this process said if you are in the 2 processes at once, and you get a denied refugee case, but already got aip for spousal, then its not enough. However most times they will make you stay until the spousal app is completed. But u need to report to cbsa once a month to do some sort of thing....cant remember what it is.....till you get your PR. If both is denied then most likely u will have to leave Canada. Just learned this today.

I have chronic pain for more than 15 years now... a little pain on my pinky is nothing compared to nerve pain from the nerve roots of your spinal cord. I can handle this. So, it's not a fair scale
What exactly do you mean by OWP not tied to Sponsorship Application?
I was under the impression that spouses where eligible to apply for an open work permit as soon as first stage approval was done in the sponsorship process.
Hello,
We applied within Canada. They received our application February 22, 2017 and the application started processing on March 8, 2017. So far they have requested Background check and the Medical and have received both. However, we have not gotten the Approval in Principle as of yet. I thought with the new application, the first stage was going to be much shorter but it has already been more than 5 months. When should we expect AIP?

Murgaldo, you can submit an OWP along with your sponsorship application at the exact same time. Submit them together. They will process the OWP immediately and issue it within 4 months. We did this and got it in 3 months actually.
That is pretty fast compared to the previous process. Any tips you can share on what you sent them for relationship support material???
that is our plan, just needed to know the time frame. 3/4 months is quite acceptable.
thank you very much.
SA is an acronym we use for Sponsorship Approval. AIP is the signal you have transitioned from Stage 1 approval. This can take a while...
If your spouse is in status when you apply, her OWP only requires the sponsorship application be filed.
They received my app march 13, 2017.
Only got AOR 1 march 28, and background check started april 27. No word yet, no update, no medical. I am 4 months into process now.
Congratulations on your AIP! I hope they will extend the validity on your medical, but if they don't, well it's few hundred $ more and your application will be approved!I have a really great news! Me and My Girlfriend are jumping and crying right now! Got a message in MyCIC... but still no update in ECAS.
Dear Ms Ivan28:
This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class. It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you and all your family members have met these requirements.
I wonder if they will require another medical. Because her medical expired April this year.
Anyways, we will do it again if they asked. Gosh still can't believe it. We are almost there.
Hello. We applied inland sponsorship and Cic received our application on September 13, 2016 and started processing it on October 14, 2016. There is no other update on Ecas beside this.
We have not received Sponsor or Applicant approval yet either. Last week we received request for Medical which was submitted. We had not sent Medical with the initial application. Does anyone know what will be the next steps after this and how long it will take to get the PR?
