Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[sophieee]

Finally got OWP in the mail yesterday BUT they've made a mistake & excluded working in the health field. That's as handy as a pocket in a singlet for a nurse. Did the same thing with IEC application & had to reapply for work permit & pay again because it was done online & had no copy of original as proof & couldn't get into original application. You live & learn so have copies of everything this time so hopefully it will be fixed without paying again.

On the upside, got an email today requesting Police Check for PR application. I think that must mean "You have progressed in the queue." Yay!

That's the standard wording of OWP's when you don't have a valid medical exam, so if you sent one with your app, they weren't able to connect it to your OWP. It's a good thing you have copies, although I'm afraid that it will still be difficult to get it corrected at no cost.

Hi All,

I got open work permit through spousal sponsorship and my PR application is currently under processing. I am currently unemployed and looking for a job. My Spouse is a PR and currently working full time in Ontario with all health benefits from his employer and I am also covered under his insurance benefits. I am looking for some advice to obtain Ontario health card. When I approached service ontario, they informed me that for temporary worker has to work full time and employed with the employer for atleast six months to get ontario Health card under OHIP.

Please let me know, if there is any way that I can get Ontario healthcard? Next question will be, even though I am covered by my Spouse insurance benefits from his employer, Can I utilize those medical benefits without ontario health card? Please advise. Thanks!!

Good news everyone. OWP has been amended to include working in health field - no extra paperwork or fee required. And, yes previous medical was sent which was still valid when application was lodged. Will now send case specific enquiry & lodge updated work contract now that Canadian provisional nurse registration has been accepted as well. Things are looking up.

hi Sipfarms
we also got a request for additional docs, the strange thing is that we have to send the additional docs to Vegreville not the Mississauga.

how about you guys?

Experts:
is this mean that inland sponsorship applications are processed all over the country not only in Mississauga?

thanks for your input

Same here asked us to send the pcc/docs to vegreville.
Are you guys getting the new pcc or sending a copy of the old one?

Didn't do a police check with application, just medical.

The pdf says, send the requested information to a mailing address. So I think i will be doing the same.

How about you?

Cheers

Letter asked to mail it so it will be mailing from us as well (and keeping copies). Don't want to clog up case specific inquiry site with docs that aren't specified in the list on cic site.

Just wondering where we would need to go to on CIC website if they request an additional document. They have not requested anything as yet but just in case.

Just awaiting OWP for now....

Thanks zumbagirl. So from my reading, they want to get applications processed before medicals & passports expire and will process applications that have all documentation required quicker. So, if you haven't lodged your application make sure you send medicals & police checks & as much documentation as possible with the application.

sounds right. except I think this applies only for applications already in the inventory.

if you consider that end of November 2015 folks are getting "decision made" in these days we are only a few months off from them. therefore my bet is that the January /February 2016 people will be getting DM by the end of the summer.

what do you think?

I was thinking PR would be a great Christmas present but before would be perfectly fine by me. Sooner PR sooner to qualify for citizenship ;D
