Spousal sponsorship

How can I take the Original Option C Printout?
I mean, I know I have to call them, already have the number... but they ask something about line 150.
How can I find this?

On your last tax return.

Hello I'm new here. Let me tell you my situation we applied for family class spousal . We are a Canadian American couple. I am the American. We married in April 2014. My husband's spousal sponsor application was approved within 2 months. I submitted my application and it was reported as being received June 9th 2014.

Since then we received an email saying that I had submitted the wrong kind of FBI clearance. Applications require an official document sent from the FBI and you must submit the original document because copies are no accepted.

At the time, the FBI was updating their criminal database for fingerprints to include facial recognition, through followups with the FBI customer service number we learned that my police clearance document would take 12 weeks to process. Unfortunately, CIC had only given us a month and a half to submit the police clearance.

Subsequently, we wrote to CIC pleading our case that we needed a longer deadline to submit the police clearance because mathematically the 12 week processing time meant that i would not receive the police clearance document until December 2014. CIC gave us an additional two weeks but when we wrote back to give more detailed proof to them (a screenshot from the FBI website and an emailed letter from the FBI) we did not receive another reply. Emails sent afterward were also not answered.

we eventually FBI police clearance and submitted it to CIC but didn't receive a response to that either. So whether they received it or not we do not know.

Just recently when we called the CIC customer service number, (888-242-2100 which only works if you are calling from Canada) we were told that when an application is in level 2 (Ottawa CPC) no replies are sent back.

My application is submitted as outland but I live in Canada with my husband. when i recently crossed the border i was able to get a temporary resident visa for a year based on the proof that we have begun the PR application process however i've been informed i cannot get the work permit available to inland applicants. This is putting a lot of stress on my husband because he is shouldering the burden of supporting me while i am unable to contribute to our household. beyond making knitting scarves to sell on etsy or commuting to buffalo, ny to work part-time, i don't know what to do. :'(

in addition, i don't have health care until the PR is approved. i can pay out of pocket and the cost is similar to having insurance in the states (about $60) but i hope i do not need any specialized care requiring tests, etc., within the next 16 months.

is anyone else going through this? what has been your experience? if it was resolved, what was the outcome and how long did it take? has anyone had issues with getting responses from CIC?

Also what is AOR and how do you know when you have AOR? All I know is what is on the application status link on the CIC website which says they have received my application on June 9, 2014 and my medical results were received. CIC customer service said they didn't have any information and i'd have to email Ottawa CPC. of course, as i said i don't receive responses when i email them.

Anyway, sorry for the long rambling post and if i posted this incorrectly. i'm new to this forum.

Hello! I hope you guys could help me with this. I've already posted this in another thread, but it seems most reply under this thread.

Here's my timeline for your reference:

Spousal sponsorship (inland application) submitted: March 2014 (OWP not included)
Re-submission (since we had one form missing): July 2014

Until now, we haven't received our Acknowledgement of Receipt and we're worried.

Do I need to have my Acknowledgment of Receipt before I can apply for the OWP (I want to submit my application for their pilot program)?

Thanks and regards everyone.

This mean that you apply via inland application
i submitted my application in August with OWP.
i did not receive any acknowledgement from them and called CIC seversl time and every time they came up with different reply. They said its not necessary to receive acknowledgement until you get first stage approval.

But Fay before yesterday i receive OWP.

This mean they receive my application and issue OWP to spouse.

Hi all,

I am planning to send out our application by March 1st at the latest. I know tax time is right around the corner... So I will not yet have received my tax return for 2014 yet. Can I still use my 2013 option C print out or should I wait on sending our application until I get 2014.

Thanks

Use your 2013 option C and include a copy of your T4 for 2014. No need to wait until the 2014 option C is available.

Would I still fill out my net income as per what it says on my tax return from 2013 for question 3 on the sponsorship evaluation form?

hello! just wanna ask, where can i found my file number on CIC's letter/ document? Does it starts with a letter or just all numbers? thanks!

 

[xxxma3dl]

Good morning. I hope anyone of you can help me with my enquiries. Here's my timeline:

Family sponsorship (inland) submitted: March 11, 2014
re-submitted (since we had one form missing): July 10, 2014
Visitor visa extension approved, expiration September 2015

Until now, we have not received an AOR.

Now, my questions are:
- should we apply for another extension of my visitor visa so I can remain legally in Canada while my papers are being processed?
- if and when we apply for another extension, will there be issues if I apply for Open Work Permit?

Please help me! Thanks

No, you will have to sponsor your parents. Your husband can be a co signer to help you meet the financial requirement, but you have to be the sponsor.
