Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[Catems]

Hi David I had my interview today. It went very well . We were done like within 45-60 minutes very basic questions we didn’t find it a tough at all. Questions like.
When my husband become permanent resident and Canadian citizenship ?? Explain your house ??? Who else lives with us ??? What is my house number ??? Who cooks food,?? How many siblings my husband have ???! Why I didn’t go back home after I got work permit refusal earlier ??? We were expecting it very tough but we found it very easy and went smooth and fast . My lawyer said it is good it’s positive that it only took an hour otherwise they don’t leave you for 3-4 hours sometimes .
I will update u guys as soon as I get more info

For a few years now, started my process being out of status

If you don't mind me asking how you get caught with CBSA?

They won’t. We have application going on. They won’t force us to leave

 

[Catems]

I heard we could apply work permit when we get our AIP?

 

[KBsandhu]

What I am saying is how he get involved with CBSA in first place? You didn't understand my question.

They called me back in February 2018 for an 'interview' , they found out about me through the application, which led them to expedite an exclusion order against me.

What’s that mean ? Sorry

Yes, you can but by the time you get your Aip, most of the times your file is near getting approved. Sometimes when you receive AIP, you get decision made also at the very same time. So, in that case its better to wait for am and landing letter rather than spending 250$ at work permit which doesn't make any sense. but if you get aip and then its still in process then its better to apply for Work permit.

That is true, you can definitely apply for a work permit after AIP, but, usually once you get AIP you will have a DM in a matter of weeks, so there's no point on paying the work permit

ok, do you mean after you applied application and then they reached out directly. I always thought CIC and CBSA don't share information.

Correct my friend. But I don’t have status if I didn’t apply work permit ?

Yes, I applied in July 2017 and they reached out to me in February 2018. Yes, they definitely share information 100% But some people are lucky enough they never get called in for an interview. are you out of status too?

 

[david_gat88]

You are out of status now, but with AIP you could apply for a work permit, CBSA mentioned that to me in the interview.

It means, I have an exclusion order in place, so If I get rejected I would have to leave Canada for a year.
