***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[mili80]

I don't think so. Brazil is not visa-exempt and I got an eTA. I have a 10 year visitor visa, though, and my OWP was granted while I was still on status.

If you have a USA visa, then you are visa exempt for Canada, isn't it? Or at least that's what my Brazilian friends told me.

Is there anyone else in November who hasn't received OWP??? Still nothing

I am also still awaiting my OWP and I'm November 16th. I'm very concerned

Can anybody please explain
What to do after your application is returned back to you?

Do we need to fill all the forms again??
Or just do what’s asked and resubmit application with everything else being same.

There should be a green sheet that they highlight what's needed. Do those then send it all back

You need to fix all mistakes highlighted or not
You need to update the forms if theres any new forms so be careful or else they'll return your application again

Thanks anyway!

If you guys aren't married already then wait until she gets her permanent residence, you don't want to mess her permanent residence, because if you do get married then she will lose her permanent residence and then you both have to apply again together which isn't easy
If you don't want to separate, you can go ahead and apply for visitor visa and if you got accepted you can come (you don't need to declare that you are coming to get married in Canada you can just say you are coming for a visit as many people advice to do so) and when you arrive to Canada you can get married (after she would have of landed and became pr) and you apply inland
Or you can stay where you are and after she lands and becomes pr she can go back and get married to you and you can apply outland
Both ways work but surely do not marry before she becomes a pr and don't get married and hide it from authorities(her landing as single if she was married) because they will know eventually and she won't be able to sponsor you and she puts her pr at risk too so be careful

Has anyone been able to successfully access their progress bar on their My CIC account? We received the email this morning that it’s now been added to the account, but the account looks the same. I’d appreciate some advice on how to see this feature.

Not much to see. It's just a timeline bar, it's essentially useless.

Received my OWP in the mail today. Restrictions to training and sex work.

Gckey still shows as medical passed for PR but no further update. How long does it take for them to start the Background check?

Do you hold a US passport? I am not from a visa-exempt country...

Brazil

Same here. I'm also from Brazil. I applied for visitor record and was in status when my OWP was approved and received my eTa.

Just as a clarification, a few visa-required countries (including Brazil) have different entry requirements.
