September 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[YVR123]

I have applied for inland spousal sponsorship and PA completed the 5406. The Sponsor who is a Canadian Citizen and PA have a child born in Canada. The officer returned the application saying that the form was not complete. Do we need to add the child who is 5 months old to the form?

Yes. All immediate and additional family members need to be listed in 5406 regardless of citizenship or PR.
So the sponsor should be listed as spouse and the child should be listed as child in 5406 form (both citizens).

IRCC has requested medicals on SOWP application but not on PR application.

Will they use same medicals for PR application later?

Did you receive medical request on GCkey portal?
I received biometric validation letter on SOWP application. After how many days of this letter did you get your medical request?

After BVL, my SOWP got approved the next day.
Medical was requested after the approval. That was mainly, if we want to work in some specific field like healthcare or child care.
For that, we need medical results as well with the work permit.

Thanks for the update. So are you giving medical? I think they will use same medical for PR application as well.

Thats right, I work in Healthcare. I had to give my medical around a year ago when I applied for work permit.

Yes, i have already given the medicals.
I assume they should use the same medicals for the PR application.

Hello everyone, I applied my PR in August 31. I already received my AOR. I’m currently on study permit. Can I apply for a work permit and will I be eligible to work fulltime while they are processing my permit? I have one more semester do, I’m thinking I’ll apply work permit now and once I get PR approved I can finish my studies so I’ll have to pay only domestic tuition. My wife got laid off from her job and it is really hard for us manage expenses now. So if I can work, I can help her

Update - Today, SOWP got approved on GCkey portal with document number.

Wee you able to work while processing?

There is alot to it. Every case is unique. Alot of people do apply for open work permit after receiving AOR whereas some are not eligible to the time they receive AIP. Other details are needed to give a closed response. I would recommend reaching out agent and discuss.
