Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[Petitepoutine]

Hey guys, on Feb 25th, I received my Sponsor Approval... then on the 26th, I received my request for my CSQ with a mistake in my address, THEN on the 27th, I received an other request for my CSQ with the mistake corrected. On March 2nd I sent off my application for CSQ to MIDI and today I get this in my email..

"Dear (NAME)

This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted to this office on behalf of (NAME) and family (if applicable).
We are writing to you today as our records indicate that you received correspondence issued to you on February 26 and/or 27th 2015 in error. The Case Processing Centre – Mississauga (CPC-Mississauga) uses an automated mailing system, which on February 26 and 27 2015 mistakenly issued you this correspondence. Please accept our apologies for this error. The processing of your application has not been affected by this error. The CPC-Mississauga has been in contact with the MIDI and has alerted them to this situation. You should not submit an application for a Certificat de sélection du Québec based on the correspondence dated February 26th or 27th. Rather, please wait for further correspondence from CPC-Mississauga before contacting the MIDI. If you have already submitted your application, the MIDI will be contacting you shortly with further information."

I guess all I can really do is await further instructions... But has anyone else had this happen to them?

Humm.. a bit strange. I wouldn't worry about it though. We sent our CSQ application before receiving any correspondence from MIDI, an it didn't change anything.

As per current IMM 008 form, we can choose visa office to access our application, what is the definition of inland and outland application?

Anyone has idea? or called/contacted CIC regarding this?

Thanks Petitepoutine!

However, sorry, I don't know if I was clear...

We received our Sponsor approval on the 25th of February (yay), on that Sponsor approval it tells you to apply for a CSQ and include the Sponsor Approval letter, which we did. Cool.

But you know the ADDITIONAL letter that Mississagua sends you AFTER the Sponsor approval saying something like, you need to apply for a CSQ because you live in Quebec, please submit a copy of THIS CIC letter along with your Sponsor approval with your CSQ application? Well THAT is the letter was sent to me on the 26th/27th.

The notice I got from CIC Mississagua today (which I quoted) told me that the correspondance sent to me on 26th/27th was sent in error and that I am not to apply for a CSQ based on it. But I did...

And now I'm really worried as to why Mississauga would send me a CSQ request and then be like, oh wait, nevermind, that was a mistake, don't apply for CSQ, when I should need one as I live in QC AND have already sent one out!

There is no longer an option to choose a visa office; CIC will choose for you. If the form has the option to choose, you are looking an outdated form.

See the first post for inland/outland explanation http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-t46995.0.html.

That's what mine looked like 1 page ..At the bottom it says print two copies of this receipt send one to CIC and keep one for your records. My payment went through fine .. Notes say all payments have been received ... All good their PhdStream .

We've just paid ours as well and have the same, 1 page 'Official Receipt' with the barcode and the same message at the bottom.

Perhaps the 'copy 2' was for an older receipt format? There's just nothing else to print off here!

Yes .. in this case how do CIC differentiate about inland and outland application?

previously it used to be as per visa office that PA choose. But what about now?

They are different application packages.

Oh, we didn't receive that additional letter in the first place actually... So what they are saying (I think) is that you shouldn't have RECEIVED that letter, not that you shouldn't have applied for the CSQ. If you reside in Québec, you absolutely need one, without exception. You just don't need to include that CIC letter with it.

I wouldn't worry at all. You did the right thing in applying for the CSQ.

Well, we didn't receive a second

 

[Yomaben]

Your application process was super fast. Congrats

Sorry for posting again and again ... I have one question...

I have applied for my wife's PR application using outland application package .... so IF CPC-Mississauga decides to access the application here in Canada (either CPC-M or CPC-ottawa) and my wife is here in Canda under visitor visa, can she apply for open work permit?

No. You applied outland. Outland = no work permit. The application staying in Canada does not make it an inland application. They are two different applications.

I have applied for spouse immigration in June 2013 from London UK but still that has not been finalize which should be due in May 2014. Recently Baby girl born in my family and I had applied for Visitor which has been given. I want to know that if I come on visitor visa and applied for right to work so can I get it? Because it was a mistake of CIC for taking so long to decide my case however the timeline was
11 months from London UK. My wife and daughter are alone in Canada and there is no one to look after her.

Please advise.

Thanks

no, as a visitor and outland applicant you can not apply for the "right to work". only applicants who have applied through the "in canada" class (also known as inland) can apply for an Open Work Permit while the application is processing.

as an outland applicant the only way you can legally work in canada is if you get a job offer from a canadian employer and they are willing to apply (and get approved) for a LMIA. This process is time consuming and expensive for the employer, so unless you have some very specific skill that they can't find a canadian to do, it is very difficult to get.

I was really excited/hopeful that between the first and the 5th of March that they seemed to get through 2 weeks of applications for sponsor approval (according to spreadsheet) but since then there has been no movement. I check every day willing for dates to start moving onto the 2015 spreadsheet. Waiting was never my strong point!!
