CIC received my application on August 17th, it was submitted on October 6th (after I linked it to MyCIC, I linked it too late - it was my mistake):
- Application status: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
- Review of eligibility: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.


Can you please explain more what does it mean of "If you were out of status, you will not qualify for OWP"?
Out of status- I mean, your status before applying for Sponsorship application +OWP.

You must have a valid temporary resident.

And going by your date, you have not exceeded the OWP time frame.

If you had a valid temporary resident as at the time you submitted your application for OWP, you should get it anytime soon.

But, if you did not have a valid temporary resident status before submission, you will have to wait until you have your AIP before they can issue your OWP.

Hi everyone,

We applied for inland spousal sponsorship (UK to canada both brits, I am a PR husband is on work permit from UK also), CIC received our application on May 17th 2017, received the next stage June 13th Now just playing the waiting game., If anyone is further along in the process, around what month did you receive your next step? If it truly is going to take 12 months then I would think we would hopefully hear something around month 9? any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
I’m in the same boat! My application was received on May 19th and they still checking my background... I️ wish I️ knew how long until I️ get AIP

If you were out of status, you will not qualify for OWP. They will have to wait for your AIP before issuing your work permit. That’s the only reason most time, why OWP take longer than 4 months.
im a July applicant, my status expires in December. soo....

Hey guys,

just a little bit confused regarding the status of my application:
-Application received September 5th
-Request of SA and Police Checks October 30th
-Submitted SA and police Checks November 5th

Now on my application status it still says "Your action is required", even though there is nothing left for me to do. When i view my submitted application it shows that i submitted my docs (therefore the "required by" case is empty next to my submitted documents) and there is no further steps required to do. I don't have any other message from CIC or anything. I know this has happened to people before and I imagine this means I have nothing to do but you know how it is, better be safe than sorry.

Thanks in advance
