Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

How long is your OWP valid for? Mine is til March 2019. I've read here that some got theirs valid for 2 years.

Until March 2020. Not sure why yours is until 2019 and mine is until 2020. I've applied as a Japanese national. Maybe that's it?

As to why it's valid until 2019, it follows the expiration of your passport. It's what I read in the forums.

Hey guys, I’m filling the CSQ forms and I’m confused about 2 options (English/french barriers ).


My girlfriend and I are doing the process as common law partners! Our lawyer (who’s is American and not french speaker) put on our forms that we are “Partenaire conjugale ou partenaire conjugal”, but we believe that the correct marital status would be “Conjoint de fait, conjointe de fait”. We have been googling the differences between those and it seems like a partenaire conjugale would be a couple that don’t actually live together which we do!


I just would like to double check with you guys since you all are so kind and have been helping us so much.


Would be very sad to have the forms returned so close to the end of our process.


Thanks in advance!

Which form are you filling in?

You have to wait until you get your AIP .

I am sponsoring my spouse. We got our AOR of November 22nd on January 4th. We applied for Visitor permit extension on December 4th since it was expiring on January 10. We got her OWP file back due to insufficient fees on January 14th. We resubmitted with correct fees on Jan 22nd. Her visitor record extension got approved on Feb 16.
Do you think she would still have to wait till AIP to get work permit? Or she should get it in 4 months from OWP AOR (Jan 22) Or should i send out another application now that she has valid status in the country?

Hello all,
I’m an American living in Alberta. I submitted my spouse sponsorship application at the end of June last year (2017) and have done everything up to the panel physician appointment (in early December of 2017). I was told the panel physician sent off my results to the CIC in December and am still waiting for next steps. I’m assuming I’ll be getting my PR soon, since many have told me the panel physician is the last step?

I guess you are true ... your lawyer has to fill the form as common law partner ... and not conjugal partner !

I think there are no differences in US, but in Canada it’s not the same status regarding the laws and imigration

You should reprint your forms with « conjoint de fait », the french canadian translation for « common law partner »

No you don't have to wait for AIP. She's kept legal status throughout the application process so she will get her OWP within 4 months

What does your ECAS state? (you can google ecas cic, open the first link, and use the sponsor's details to find the application)
Did you receive any letter in your mycic requesting additional documents?

Nope i didnt received any letter from my CIC account and on my ECAS it says that medical received
