Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

Where exactly do you have this 2 columns? In myCIC account is only 1...
Anyway, my guess is that you have the SA and probably will be followed by the AIP. As I said, just a guess...

Ecas from the sponsors view...

That's odd... I always check with the app no; when I use my details I get the "app received status". When I use my husband's (sponsor), I get nothing found. But that's probably because I am a mid July applicant and they didn't begin trhe process yet.

I had that problem in the beginning before they sent him a letter with his own uci number.

My husband had his UCI with the AOR letter and I have had it for a while, since I had previous visas issued before applying to PR.

Just spoke with the Service Canada over the phone, I was advised i can try to apply for SIN using the PDF file copy received from the CIC stating:

"Your application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. A secure document has
been mailed to you at the address that you provided when you made your application. If you have not received
your secure document within six weeks,contact CIC."

Permit - WP-EXT / Permis - PT-PROR - Validity - Document Number

But theres no assurance. Actually the agent is not really sure about this because based on the instructions there's no specific document stated to show on applying SIN. anyway there's no harm in trying.

There has to be a means to validate the WP number and details with the CIC. So when you try, if they give you a hard time, ask them how they validate the documents they suspect are fakes.

Like certificates or accredations, there has to be a means they can double check the documents are not forged. How would an employer validate it?

To be honest, a SIN (temporary) is nothing more than a tax account that you can use to access social services (when you habe your permanent SIN). I don't see why they wouldn't try to help...

I guess they don't want to do that, calling CIC. On what i've experienced, they want the original or concrete documents especially in applying Driver's license.

Based on what i've read on this forum before, if you submitted your inland application when you are already out of status, if you apply together with OWP you will get an approval once your are appoved as applicant AIP which normally takes a year or so. Try to apply for the restoration of status, once you get approved, send an OWP application.

I shoul be getting AIP around February

Thank you so much for answering my question. If i apply for the OWP in November, would it be issued at the Same time as the AIP? Instead of waiting for the AIP then applying for OWP which will take another 4 months

You can apply. It can take up to 4 months from when you apply to be approved.

it's up to you. but if you dont want to apply for the restoration of status, you can submit now your OWP and expect it after your AIP.

Need an advise urgently....

I have sent my PR application with OWP application yesterday, it will arrive to CIC in a day or two, but i just realized today, that i only paid 100 for OWP holder instead of 255. What should i do now? i have called CIC this morning and the rep told me to stay put until they inform me the issue of the underpayment. But my consultant said differently, she asked me to sent entire package again (with the correct number on the receipt) to CIC that includes PR application as well and the reason of doing this is the officer will most likely gets confused if i only resubmit the OWP application.

Anyone had the same experience? or any suggestions are welcome.

You did pay, just not enough. They probably will send you a notice to pay the difference, and how to remit that payment. Doing anything at this point could just delay your PR even more.

Won't this cause refusal of my OWP? I have read lots ppl got refusal instead of asking for remittance after few months, and then another 4 months after resubmission.
I am a bit concerned right now.

We were liberal with our payment into the CIC. Anything that looked like we should pay, we did (turns out we got just the right amount). So I cannot speak from experience here.

You have paid the amount that you thought you had to pay. I cannot see them just refusing it without asking you to first pay the difference. Similarly, if you apply for a PR, and didn't pay the RPRF, they won't refuse your PR because you hadn't paid it. They just won't issue the PR until you pay it.

Just an opinion here, of course. You may want to ask another call centre agent to see what other answers they give..

I guess i will have to collect more suggestions before next action, hope it won't be too late then.
Thanks bro, and gl
