Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[dok]

I Have Applied on April 3rd, 2017 but after Schedule A, and Open work permit, there is no other update. No Medical or SA yet. Don't know why CIC is being lazy. lol.

Currently, CIC is processing applications received in September 2016. For April 2017 it is too early to worry.

Hi again. To those who have successfully obtained an OWP (was on visitor status and have got a spousal sponsorship), in the application form which did you select? 1. An initial work permit etc etc
2. Temporary Resident status
Did you select BOTH or NO.1 only?
Thank you!!!

I've chosen the number 1 only - an initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer.

Currently, IRCC is processing applications within 12months for at least 80% of the cases. You should expect to be done vu July 2018 or earlier if your case is straight forward. AIP/SA could come anytime from Novembre 2017.

Great thanks for your reply. I hope it comes November/ December. Is AIP and SA the same thing? I am waiting for OHIP and to apply for work permit. Which one would I need in order to apply for work permit?

you need AIP for OHIP

 

[Mizzcari]

you need AIP for OHIP

And SA for work permit?

 

[Kozyrytka]

And SA for work permit?

I don't think so. OWP is a separate application. They only need a confirmation that you applied for a PR sponsorship. I haven't gotten SA and I've already gotten my OWP.

Mostly people get SA and then AIP. For others AIP first and then SA (but getting AIP means that the sponsor is already approved). Some people also get either SA or AIP first and then straight to decision made. There are some couple of guys who received decision made first before SA and AIP. So no one can tell how yours will be.

You need AIP to apply for open work permit. If you were not out of status when your application was received then you can get your work permit before AIP if you have applied for it. However, if you were out of status when CIC received your application then you will get work permit if you get AIP or after AIP you can apply for open work permit.

I will advice that you send your open work permit application now even if you were out of status when your application was received. You get work permit you can apply for OHIP depending on the Province or you have to wait for your AIP.
