\Thank u..
Can i ask you one more question? My friend's spouse is approved as a sponsor last month. Is it possible for my friend to apply for his open work permit online? The cic website says that if the application is approved in principle, he can apply online. Is it same as SA?
SA - AIP for the sponsor.
This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class you submitted to this office on behalf of ***.
You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent Residence (APR) for your relative will be processed separately and he/she will be contacted shortly.
AIP for the applicant.
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.
Normally AIP comes short after SA.
Does the sponsored person have legal status in Canada? If so, they don't need AIP for applying to an OWP.
