Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[browning911]

How was the landing @browning911

It was great Kandy. Sorry catching up on what was missed.

This morning I received a landing interview for July 27th at 8am in ETOBIKOE!!!!!

Congrats legolg!! Awesome news.

 

[profiler]

Yes, he landed. We were almost late (2:55 p.m.)..

But -- you left at noon!?

You got his OHIP and SIN sorted? Also, I didn't see pics in my inbox -- you DID selfie, right? Lastly, did the binge GoT watching happen?

 

[browning911]

There it is...bad lawyer..

I see the others answered the other query. Ya drop the IRB claim asap.

If you had reasonable bona fide for your sponsorship file, then an IRB claim shouldn't have been made. It added additional pressure to an already overloaded system, and if the IRB file was heard and refused before your decision on sponsorship, then CIC would have refused the file based on Refugee rules... Did they advise you of that? That would have been a disaster

+10

I 100% agree...Bad Lawyer/Consultant. Absolutely incorrect and I bet he charged you for both.

me on the other hand have low pain torlarence I do not take pain well

Me too Carol. I got a card board box cut on the weekend and it was not pretty.

Not necessarily correct, you can have a refuge claim along with another application in process. Many people have done it. Also cic knows that cbsa has his passport and should request it on his behalf when passport request comes along. This is as far as I know, with ppl who have gone through that process. Having a refugee claim pending, and you started another application before the case is called, then you are fine. If you do have a failed claim, and then try to do another process, especially spousal, then it creates major red flags. I agree with you on the part of having AIP, go ahead and withdraw refugee claim.

No!!!

What happens is the person submits a refugee claim and in the meantime life happens and then they meet someone and they get married. At that point the person should withdraw the claim and submit an application through the spousal process. Any person who is being paid to advise someone on this should have told the person this.

A lot of the times people get incorrect information from so called consultants who advise them erroneously to apply for refugee status because in the past the process to make a decision would take two years now IRCC has overhauled the refugee stream and it is the decision is much faster and people who have claimed refugee status find themselves being denied (because many of those who file do not meet the requirements ... escaping war, persecution, or natural disaster) so they throw their money away making a claim that will be denied. I cannot tell you how many times this happens.

If you have/had a claim in and you get married you need to cancel that first and submit an application for the second.

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.

Congrats Ivan!!! Fantastic News! AIP!! Happy for you and GF.

 

[browning911]

thanks profiler.
I think the officer who is looking at my file perhaps no more in this world.
too much time already took to give me decision.
I am April 1 applicant.
I think either office no more in this word or forget that he has something pending to work on.

Awww Speechless. Did you contact your MP? What dd the call center say?

 

[browning911]

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.

You need to report to them so they know what is going on with you and so you show good faith. Normally this tends to be after the refugee claim is denied and CBSA wants to remove the person however the person now has applied through another stream either humanitarian/compassion or spousal application.

I still say if you first filed for refugee and then met someone and got married you should abandon and submit spousal application.

 

[ivan28]

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!

they accepted the medical even though its already expired. I hope they won't ever need a new medical in the future just because they made an error of passing the medicals eventhough its already expired. It's already 3 months expired but yeah, if they say passed then I wont argue with that decision. lol

Great! that will avoid you to spend money for nothing!

I believe she is binge-CanadaVisa-ing. We generated 10 or so pages since she went to land yesterday.... she is getting caught up (note the messages above ).

Hahhaha

Oh really? Hmm ive seen and know many ppl who did it and had no issues. Know 2 ppl personally actually. And it was all good. They did not with draw the claim and they got aip and landing and everything was ok. It did cause some grief and app took longer though

I still say if you first filed for refugee and then met someone and got married you should abandon and submit spousal application.

And what happens if they get denied sponsorship and loses the refugee because they with drew because of spousal. They will be back to zero

Once you have the COPR, you can take that (or your AIP letter) to the Service Ontario location. That's where you sign up for OHIP. Service Canada is where you get your SIN. Permanent SIN requires COPR

Thanks Dominicantiguan and Profiler for replies, I think it was mentioned before but 1100+ pages not so easy to find anything.
One more dumb question.
I ve found this form online
http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/...+Ontario+Health+Coverage+form+&NO=014-0265-82
Should I fill it or should I just go there and ask them and fill up every needed paper, looks like there few questions it wont take more than 3 min to fill up.
BTW I have change my address in Ontario a year ago should put it in the section (where did you move from?) or don't act stupid and write where I came from before landing in Canada more than a 16 month ago.
