Dear All
First time posting and hope you could please help.
Brief Synopsis of our situation: I am British citizen with a Canadian work permit and visa gained through the BUNAC and SWAP working holidays program. This visa is valid until the end of 2009. In May 2009 I married a Canadian citizen whom I have been in a long distance relationship with for 2 years. I moved to Toronto at the start of 2009 and have been living with my wife throughout this time. Now that we are married we want to apply for my perm residency under the spouse program. We are almost ready to submit our application, but have a couple of questions based on conflicting advice as to how best to do so and hope you can help:
Question 1: I called the CIC call center and asked "when I submit my PR application, if I have NOT heard back with an answer past the date of my current visa, am I allowed to stay and work in Canada". There answer was YES; as I am given what he called "implied status" until I receive their answer. However, after consulting with an immigration lawyer yesterday, they told me that this information is wrong and I will have to leave Canada at the end of my current visa.
Who is correct?
Question 2: The lawyer also advised that I should apply outside of Canada due to the waiting times. She said it would be approx 12 - 18 months applying within Canada and I would be prohibited to leave within that time. As this time will most certainly take me past my current visa, I do not understand how I could apply from within Canada, because to remain in Canada during this processing time would surely make my stay illegal (as my visa has expired) UNLESS the CIC call center was correct and I can stay under this "implied status".
Any thoughts on this?
Question 3: Let’s assume that I am not given implied status and that I have to leave Canada at the end of my current visa. To apply to an office outside of Canada, do I have to have been living in that Country throughout my application process? In other words, do I have to move back to England, apply to the UK office in London and await their answer? Or can i apply to England and stay in Canada until the end of this visa and then move back until i get their answer?
Question 4: Can I apply to other offices outside of Canada in other countries, not of my residency or citizenship? The lawyer advised that we apply to Buffalo in the USA as their processing times took approx 4 - 6 months. However, I made it clear that I was British and have no affiliation with the USA, but she said that did NOT matter? Is this correct? And again if so, do I have to prove that I have been living in the USA should there be an interview?!!
All we want to do is 1) send the application of to wherever it will be processed fastest , 2) to an office we are entitled to do so should there be an interview and3) remain together throughout the process if possible - please can you advise what we should do?!!! Thanks

Well, at least about "implied status", CIC is right and the lawyer is wrong. If you are in Canada with valid temporary status and you include an extension application with your inland PR application BEFORE your temporary status expires, you do have "implied status" to remain in Canada until they make a decision. What's not clear is whether or not including an extension application with your inland PR ap allows you to continue to work (for a BUNAC or SWAP employer) while waiting for a response. If you were in Canada with a regular work permit, applying for permanent residence as an inland sponsored spouse and including an extension application would give you "implied status" to remain in Canada and continue working until the first stage of assessment was completed (appx 6 months). What's unclear is whether that option extends to the BUNAC/SWAP program. You can't always trust what you hear from agents at the CIC Call Centre, and lawyers are not always well versed on every intricacy of Immigration law (it is so convoluted). So, filing the extension application with the inland PR application BEFORE your status expires allows you to at least stay in Canada until the first stage of assessment is completed - but you could also stay in Canada by filing the same extension application separately from an outland PR application. The lawyer is wrong in saying that you have to leave Canada BUT - there's more . . .

Any thoughts on this?
As was said before, your ability to remain legally in Canada (whether you apply for permanent status via the inland or the outland process) hinges on the extension application. If you include it with the inland application, it gives you implied status to stay in Canada until after they complete first stage assessment (6 months). At that time you'd be given a new temporary status document, and if you had elected to apply for an "initial work permit" ($150), an open work permit would be issued at that time. The basic question, as we said above, is whether or not you're allowed to continue working under BUNAC/SWAP in the meantime. If you apply to extend while applying for PR under the outland process, you still have to submit the extension application BEFORE your status expires, and you have implied status to stay (but not necessarily to work under BUNAC/SWAP) until they make a decision (about 100 days). If you're approved, which you should be with proof of a PR ap in process and a copy of your marriage certification, you'll be given a new temporary status document (but only as a visitor). The key is that the outland process takes much less time to finalize - and give you the right to work - than the inland process, plus you preserve your right of appeal with an outland ap.
Also, the lawyer was correct that the inland process takes 12-18 months, and that you shouldn't leave Canada (however you are not prohibited from leaving) during that time. This is because the inland process requires the applicant to be residing with the sponsor in Canada in order to be approved. If you leave Canada there is always the risk that you would not be permitted to re-enter . . . and if that happens, you forfeit the inland application. There is also no appeal rights with an inland application - which makes the outland process (and the shorter processing times) a better option. But filing outland does not mean you have to leave Canada!! Your temporary status, and extending it, is what allows you to stay in Canada. However, with the outland process, you can leave Canada and it will not affect the processing of the PR ap. You may or may not be readmitted to Canada if you try to come back, but you won't lose your PR application if you're not readmitted.quote:

No, you do not have to be living in your home country in order to be eligible to apply through that embassy. There is no residency requirement with the outland process - you can be anywhere in the world and still have your application processed through the embassy that represents your country of birth. So, as long as you have valid temporary status in Canada, you can have your application processed in London and still be in Canada. The one caveat to that is that IF an interview is required, you'd have to attend at the Embassy - and you have to get your passport to London at the end of the process to get your Confirmation of Permanent Residence. But it hasn't seemed to be a problem for people to courier their passport to London from Canada and get it back successfully.

You can have your application processed through Buffalo IF you were initially admitted to Canada with temporary status valid for at least one year. In this case, having your application processed through Buffalo doesn't have anything to do with affiliation with the US, it has to do with the fact that Immigration Canada has elected to have the visa office in Buffalo process all applications presented by foreign nationals who are in Canada with temporary status that was granted for at least one year on entry . . . regardless of where they're from. Some people like that option because, if an interview is required, they attend it in the States as opposed to having to fly home - but some applicants can't get into the States, so that'd be a drawback. You could - but whether you want to go to Buffalo for a possible interview (and to submit your passport for the COPR), or fly back to London is a personal decision. Another consideration is the fact that Buffalo is currently processing spousal applications in 4-9 months . . . London is processing in 2-8 months.

Hopefully this clears up some of the fog. You can stay together as long as your temporary status is extended. This should not be a problem because you are a qualified PR applicant so, if you apply outland all you have to do is include proof of your marriage and your PR application in process (just a copy of the receipt for fees paid is sufficient) and your extension will be approved. With an inland ap, it goes with your "proof" (which is the inland ap itself). With the outland ap you will have to extend as a visitor, with the inland ap there is no guarantee you will be able to continue to work under the BUNAC or SWAP program, but asking for an "initial work permit" and paying the $150 fee will get you an open work permit once the first stage of assessement is completed. This currently takes about 6 months . . . after which it's another 6-12 months to finalize your PR. But you'd at least be eligible to work again. With the outland process you might be finalized (with a straight-forward application) in as little as 4 months after submitting the application through London. That's because it goes first to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, ON where they assess your sponsor. That's taking 43 days right now. Then it's transferred to London, and as you saw, they can finalize in as little as 2 months. The key is to submit a complete application - medicals done, criminal clearances included, and strong proof of your "genuine relationship" to avoid an interview. As long as you have no "criminal issues", you can expect to be finalized at the short end of that timeline. Buffalo would take a couple of months longer . . . but, again, whether Buffalo is an option depends on if your initial entry to Canada was authorized for at least one year. I can't tell for sure from your thread.

WOW! First of all, thank you so very much ROBBIESLUV for taking the time to write such an extensive answer and in plain English!
Let me answer your question about my current visa and whether it was granted for 1 year: The visa i currently have was supposed to be a 1 year visa, but they messed it up and only gave me 2 months upon entry! I appealed and was granted the extra 10 months on a new visa that is currently pinned in my passport. Therefore it could cloud the Buffalo route (as it says march 2009 – dec 2009 on it)
However...
What you say about London seems to make so much more sense to me now: If I have understood you correctly I can post of the application to London, whilst living and working in Canada and remain until either 1) I hear back from them with approval of my PR (at which point i can post them my passport by courier to have the PR added) and continue life here as normal OR 2) They contact me to attend an interview in London (at which point does my wife have to come too?)after which do they then give me the PR in that meeting if they agree the relationship is genuine? OR 3)my current visa runs out end dec 2009 and (as i cannot extend my BUNAC/SWAP visa) i have to go back to the UK and await their answer (but that should be very soon into the new year based on the time periods for processing you quoted)? However, can I instead of going back to the UK, just cross the border into the USA for a day and re-enter Canada as a holiday maker and stay without working until i hear back from the London office?
THANKS AGAIN, look forward to hearing your next answers!!

OK, so the Buffalo option is out - but that's not a deal breaker, especially since London processes faster anyway. What I would suggest you do is apply immediately via the outland process, indicating that you want the application processed via London. Include everything upfront - proof of your medical exam (which can be done in Canada, but be sure the DMP sends the results to the Regional Medical Centre in London, not the one in Ottawa) and your original police clearances from every country you've resided in for more than 6 months since turning 18 (excluding Canada, they will run a name check on you first and only request a fingerprint check if your name produces a "hit"). Also include strong and solid proof of your valid marriage and your genuine relationship. "Genuine relationship" means they want proof that this is not a relationship entered into just to keep you in Canada. CPC-Mississauga will assess your wife's eligibility in about 43 days and then send the application to London. If you provide good proof of your relationship, your interview will most likely be waived . . . but if not, I don't think she has to attend, although lots of spouses elect to do that in a show of support. No, they won't give you the PR at that meeting . . . the interview comes pretty early in the process as they want to assess the genuine nature of the relationship because it's the "crux" of approval - if the relationship is not genuine, they refuse the application without going through the background checks, etc. But I don't think you'll have much trouble with the "genuine relationship" part and I'd be willing to bet your interview will be waived. It might be helpful to read through the information in Sections 5.25-5.27 and 5.34-5.35 of the OP2 Processing Manual to get a better handle on how they assess relationship (keeping in mind that the cohabitation requirement is only for common-law qualification).
In the meantime, while your PR is processing, you have your authorization to remain in Canada and work until Dec 2009. If your PR is not finalized by then, simply file the application to extend (BEFORE your work visa expires) and change your conditions to visitor. That will give you "implied status" to remain in Canada (even after your BUNAC visa expires) until they make a decision (about 100 days). You don't have to leave Canada to go to the States or anywhere else to extend your stay - simply request the extension asking to be able to remain with your wife in Canada whilst waiting for your PR ap to finalize. Include proof that you have a PR ap in process (by that time you'll have her sponsorship approval letter to copy to them) and proof of your legal marriage and there should be no problem with getting an extension. Once they finalize the PR, you post your passport to London, they mail it back and then you take a trip into the States - coming back to "land" - and you're done. A PR able to live and work in Canada!! |

I like your last line in particular! Thanks again for your advice, i am off now to read through your links and continue our form filling, medical testing and our "journal of love compilation" to include for the immigration officer to look at longingly!
I will probably repost on this topic once we are a bit closer, so perhaps you would be kind enough to look at any questions we post again then? Thanks for all your help so far.

Quick question - i have just spoken to the DMP in Toronto that is available immediately at a resonable price and they have said they can only send the results to Ottawa who will then treat it as a prioty re advisement they have recieved from some Director at the CIC? They were quite adamant about this, what are your thoughts before i book the appointment?
The doctors say claim that they have recently received instruction from the CIC that all outland applications medical results should be posted to Ottawa and from there they will be treated as a priority - but they could not give any time frames.
Has anyone else found this? Has it proved probelematic? Am i worrying over nothing, becaue my concern is that this could be a lengthy delay in the process!
Feedback greatly appreciated |

Important clarification: you submit the outland application to CPC-M (that is, the processing center in Mississauga, Ontario); you submit the entire app to CPC-M. Do it by courier.
DO NOT POST TO LONDON! (Once the sponsor is approved CPC-M will forward the application to the Visa Office which will process it.)
Secondly: the DMP should send the results to the appropriate office and ordinarily you, the applicant, do not need to dictate that. You just need to have filled out the Appendix C form properly including designating the Visa Office which will be processing the application. I am fairly sure (as others have advised in the other topic specifically about the DMP) that the results go to Ottawa; in processing your application the London Visa Office will obtain what they need from Ottawa.
Affirmation: the lawyer was correct, outland app is probably better. CIC was correct, by applying for an extension you will have implied status pending a decision. In-between all that, however, there is a wide range of what ifs and possible detours, potential pitfalls, which is why any advice, any answers you get, should not be taken as gospel because small differences in circumstances can result in dramatically different consequences . . . you should take all advice, comments, and answers from whomever, and process them with what you can discern from the guides, the forms, the FAQs, and all the particular circumstances of your individual situation. Problem is, as soon as you take a step in one direction, that affects what the best choices will be at the next step, and three steps out it can be a wholly different landscape -- just look at the differences between choosing to file inland versus outland. So, again, it is often not so much that a CIC phone operator or a particular immigration lawyer is right or wrong, but more about gleaning the applicable information from what they say and properly applying it to your situation. Context always looms large.
BTW: should be an easy deal relative to the genuine relationship part, so if you do not otherwise have a complicated history (and given your current status that seems unlikely), you should be approved and landed by the end of the year, or soon thereafter, if you get everything into process within a month or so. |

Hi dpenabill and thanks for your reply
Do you refer to the following section on the CIC website:
5. Mail the application and documents.
The application kit has the address you need for mailing your application to the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Mississauga, Ontario (for family members living outside Canada) or CPC in Vegreville, Alberta (for family members living inside Canada).
ie - as i am applying for the outland route i send it to CPC Mississauga (not london)? I presume so, but best to check eh?!

Yes, send the ENTIRE application package to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga - they will send overseas to London once the sponsor has been assessed.
As far as the medical - it's my understanding that the various visa offices request their results from their own Regional Medical Centres - not every visa office requests from Ottawa and I know of several people who have reported that their visa office could not get their medical results because the DMP sent them to the wrong RMC. CIC simply goes back to the applicant saying, "We don't have your medical results" and it's up to the applicant to track them down and get them forwarded to the visa office. It can get quite complicated. 'I don't know how you rectify this when you have a DMP's office that insists they're supposed to send to Ottawa - the bottom line is that most DMP's in Canada are familiar with sending to Ottawa because that is where inland applicant results are requested from. But staff at various DMP's offices in Canada have also insisted on several other things about forms, etc., that were contrary to instructions given applicants by CIC and the application instructions, so they should not be considered to be the "experts" on all things CIC.
I would contact a few different DMPs in the Toronto area and see whether you get the same argument from all of them. You can also take this list of Regional Medical Centres with you to your appointment and ask that they at least send a copy of your results to the RMC in London - reminding them that if they don't do it in the first place, you're going to be coming back to them at a later date and asking them to do it when the visa office tells you they can't find your results.

I strongly suggest following the instructions for Appendix C. Thus, you designate which Visa Office will be processing your application, not what the DMP does with the results. The results of the medical should then go through the system as designed. You have plenty to do without chasing around looking for a DMP to do something your way when you are less familiar with the process than the DMP. (Who knows how the system really works? Perhaps a DMP in the UK does indeed send results to somewhere other than Ottawa. But a DMP in Canada sends it . . . well I don't really know for sure, other than usually Ottawa, but they have a system in place that works for the vast majority of applicants and on this it is worth trusting the system . . . given the unique identification number given the medical exam, worst case scenario is that there is a brief delay to track it down.)
But yes, of course, it appears that some people have all sorts of things go bump in the night. Most do not. Many of those who do are, probably, themselves partially if not largely responsible (confused about this or that, wrong Visa Office designated, various things) for the problems that arise, and sometimes, as bureaucracies are wont to do, mistakes are made on the CIC side. The latter, though, is not the usual case it appears, as they mostly process tens of thousands of these apps without a wrinkle. You worry. We all worried. (A great deal is at stake for the individuals involved.) Many people in this site are here because things did go wrong. so yeah, it happens. Many, many more people had their apps processed routinely, without any bumps in the night.
I suggest doing your part, focusing on compiling the information, documentation, and evidence supporting your application, and doing a bang up job putting it all together and getting it submitted, that is, doing your part following the guide, the forms, the checklist, including of course the particular instructions for applicants from Western Europe.

| Fantastic information in this thread! The only small point I would like to add is that the BUNAC and SWAP programs do not have extensions available to them for people from the UK. However, what you can do is apply for a change of conditions to your visa close to the expiry date and request it be converted to a visitor visa. Extension applications are sent to Vegreville, Alberta. Do this BEFORE your current visa expires. While you are waiting for a reply about this extension, you have "implied status". The downside is that this visa will not allow you to work. But it does give you legal status in Canada and allows you to stay with your spouse until a decision is made on your outland application. Good luck. |

Sorry.
Feb7 linked you to the right place in the other thread specifically about the DMP issue, that is, at the end of Part 3 of the guide, the "Country Specific Instructions" for applicants from Western Europe (which includes the UK), where Appendix C is found.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3901e.pdf
Also see the medical instructions in Part 2 of the Guide, that is the Immigrant's Guide, at pages 5 & 6 I think.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3999E.pdf
Based on your query it sounds as if you have not read through the Guides completely as yet. That is the starting point for the whole process. While the Guides hardly answer every question you will have, the most important information you need is set out in the guides and the checklists.
I do not recall if the following page
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
has a link to every single form you absolutely need, but if not it has nearly all of them; but the information you want to become familiar with as soon as possible is (1)Guide to sponsorship [IMM 3900]; (2) the Guide to Immigrating [IMM 3999] and (3) the Part 3 "Information guides specific to geographic regions" (for you, Western Europe [IMM3901] linked above). It usually takes reading through these guides about three times, while concurrently referring to the referenced forms and checklists on the second or third read, to get a grasp on the whole process and what you need. Once you have that grasp then you work your way through the particular details, compiling the specific documentation you need (like making an appointment to get the medical exam, requesting police certificates, obtain certified copies of any document you lack -- you need the certificate of marriage for example, and so on) and perhaps also compiling the information you need (we had to research our own lives and history to come up with all the information -- especially for me, having to provide several decades of addresses and activity history, and this took a fairly dedicated effort).

Thank you. I have now had my medical and onto the next part...
I have a quesiotn regarding part 3 of the country specific instructions, namely the supplementary section under appendix A which asks you to list all trips i have taken in the last 10 years.
Do i have to fill this out?
Under the document chefck list for part 3 - namely the final point 13 "other documentation" it says ; person submitting their application to the Canadian visa office in Paris must complete the attached IMM 5562, suplimentary information, your travels". That is all it says, so am i to imply that as i am NOT sending it to Paris and that i am sending it to London that i Do NOT have to fill it out?
p.s I can fill it out if necesssary, but i have travelled to over 20 countries in this time and I don't want to have to list them all unless needed! |
