You do not qualify for an open work permit because you are being sponsored using the outland (outside of Canada) process.

Good morning to whoever could help me out
We submitted our application in dec 2011, approved as sponsor in feb 12, received a request for additional paperwork in dec 2012, due to a concern of not declaring my boyfriend at that time. In feb 2013 we sent proof he was only my boyfriend and nothing else. In may 9 our application change from "application received in dec 2011" to "in process"

Is that a good thing?Could that mean that our paperwork submission was succesful?

Thank you to anyone that can help

Probably. I think generally changes to ECAS without communication from the VO are a good thing.

Hi Guys,

I'm filling the Appl. to sponsor , Sponsorship Agreement & Undertaking IMM1344 now, question.

At the top it says : If you are found inelegible to sponsor:

1. withdraw sponsorship application -all proceedings will be refunded
-OR-
2.Proceed w/ the appl. for PR , fees will be retained.


Who chooses #2 if they cannot sponsor?
::) ::)

Mine will be for Quebec, I dont have a job yet (I'm going back this monday 20th May- I am a Canadian by birth) I will be staying with my dad, he can support me till I find a job no problem, and I can even get a letter from him. Theres no other reason I would be found ineligible...So I choose?? ::)

That option exists in cases like Parent Sponsorship, where your spouse can be the co-signer. ;)

We did. While they will refuse the application in the end (because of the lack of a sponsor) it gives you appeal rights that you don't get if you discontinue the application, because that's a voluntary withdrawal of the application.

Thx for everyones replies...her come more questions :'( :'( :'( ...



I've been at this for days since I am leaving Greece in less than a week and I would like to have ALL papers my partner has to sign with me and ready..

I ACTUALLY filled all the Canada Sponsorship and Immigration forms... yey! :p :p I just need to gather documents and place them accordingly.

I am trying to get a head start for the Quebec part, I am up to the Selection Certificate, I see no mention of the word "Common-Law", in section 4. :'(

All throughout the Canada forms, common-law - which is my case was used. Now I dont see that choice and am a but confused. Do I chose De-FACTO then?

SECTION 4. B.

"if you are the sponsors De-Facto spouse? if yes...it says "I reside WITH" I am leaving for Canada next week so I cannot check that... ::) ::) ::)

then the other choice is: I have been in a conjugal relationship with from... due to persecution or penal control we cannot reside together.

* to makes things clear so someone can answer me, for Canada we are common-law, we have been residing together since 2007, but we separate on 20/05 and I start sponsorship from Canada while he awaits in albania. What does that make us? which should I choose - I REALLY dont understand the questions or know what to answer in SECTION B :-X

AS I am reading another form as well for Quebec "Formulaire D'engagement" again there is the same above questions and I cannot figure which applies...... :'(

ANY help would be appreciated...just when i thought I knew what I was doing Quebec came along..... :'(

You are de-facto. The separation is temporary in nature and doesn't indicate the termination of the relationship.

What does it say in the country specific rules? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3907e.pdf

Item 17: they want the IMM 1017 form from the medicals. Generally, though they will not reject the application for this - but the visa office WILL ask for it, and you will experience a delay.

And note that medicals are good for 12 months PLUS they can be renewed for an additional 12 months now.

I think the medical extensions are limited to certain countries. Manila sends everyone for a complete remed and will often just let the medicals expire if they are close to the expiry date. I had to complain about the unnecessary additional cost just to get a reduced medical for my wife. I was told they could extend medicals for a year but really they will only extend them if that is the only thing keeping the officer from making a decision and it has to be prior to 15 months.

Hello Everyone,
About the Medical Examination. My husband lives in the States, the Doctor assigned/authorized in his area, says he needs an order/letter/intructions to perform the examination, and that he will not perform any examination without a formal order or letter.
What should we do? just send the rest of the documents? will that affect the processing time of my application?
Please help us!
