Spousal sponsorship

[armoured]

I see! I wasn't too sure if they'd request my passport as I'm an inland applicant. Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciate it .

So let me get this straight - you basically don't think they're going to need your passport at all, but you were very worried they didn't get the info about your new passport?

Today, we received the pre-arrival services letter. Does that mean PR is coming soon?
Spousal sponsorship, inland.

What's your timeline?

Hello everyone,
We got AOR finally after 7 months, but I am not able to link the application. As the email was sent to my sponsor. Do I need to enter his information when I want to link the application to my account? I tried with both of us information but it cannot find the application. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

7 months??? OMG! Congrats nonetheless. I'm on the same boat as you. I tried with both our info but it's not finding the file. I gave up... Hopefully it'll work when we get the SA letter

any idea about how long the processing time for Spouse PR online applications?

Both types of apps average about 12 months.

My question is about the police certificate check, should I send it by mail because they requested the original one .

 

[armoured]

I would do both - include a scan and note you can provide original or send it by post if they gave a mailing address.

They didn't give a mailing address,

but this message:

Yes - do what the instructions say. I didn't receive your letter.

But: I would also suggest you also send a scan when you submit electronically, AND include a note that the original is being submitted per instructions.

Hello everyone. I am a PR in Canada. I have applied for a visitor visa for my wife. Can she apply for the open work permit and PR while her visitor visa application is in the process?

Is your spouse in Canada now? If not, she cannot do both.

She can apply outland before coming to Canada - but not the open work permit.

Or she can wait and apply inland and for the open work permit at same time.

No, she is not in Canada now. So based on your answer, she must wait to receive her visitor visa, come to Canada, then apply inland and for the OWP at the same time?
It's one month since she applied for the visitor visa because I thought it would be faster than getting the OWP. So she can apply OWP after she comes here. Is it a good decision based on others' experience or it was better to apply OWP at the beginning?

Hello everyone,
Please any August applicant here (family class)

Another thing I did not get from your answer is that it does not matter she applied for a visitor visa or not, If she is not in Canada, she cannot apply for the outland and open work permit at the same time? She can only do it if she is in Canada?

My other question is if she does not apply for PR until she comes here, can she apply for OWP while she is out of Canada?

It's a little bit confusing for me, so I like to know what can we do if here visitor visa is in the process? Apply for OWP at the same time is possible if we decide to apply inland?
