Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[Angeles87mike77]

Spoke to CIC this morning long wait on the phone but was able to speak to a agent. They are currently back logged and working on Aug 31 applications (today is Oct 24th)....The agent then told me when my wife application comes up they will review make sure it's complete and all required documents are included. If it is complete the will email us a ARO if not they will return it in few weeks

The agent also told me if we have not received a email 30 before wife stats is about to expire apply for a extension to stay in Canada just in case application is returned to us

Hi Guys,

CIC received my application on August 28 and I finally received AOR today on October 23, 2017; I was beginning to worry that my application was going to be rejected.

Anyhow, just thought I would share my timeline since I noticed some of last week August and early September applicants inquiring about AOR in the last few pages of the thread.

Thank you for sharing and bringing in some hope. Ours was received on Aug 30 so basis your timeline, hoping for the AOR this week

Hopefully you receive yours any day now please let us know I hate this waiting in dark

I hear you, I am in the same boat. Don't worry hopefully we'll get the updates soon, will notify as soon as I hear from them.

As long as the study permit hasn't expired, you don't have to be afraid. I had same issue too but I got my open work permit. So domt worry about that.

Thanks for the info. No need of calling cic to confirm status

I would recommend tomorrow you give them a call around 8 a.m. eastern standard time when they open up

This is incredibly discouraging. Working on August 31st, ours would have been in that pile but due to it being sent back we are now October 16th. They are going to push the timeline well over 12 months at this rate. I wonder if there is any hope of them catching up or speeding up the AOR process back down to 2-4 weeks?

we are using a lawyer and fo some reason they are not at all concerned.

Hello everyone, thank you all for putting together this forum, it's a great resource.

I would like to hear about schedule A. How did you guys do it? Am I supposed to list all my traveling in there? Or just the places I resided? I'm confused.

My application was delivered by Canada post on Oct 4.

Thank you

Hello, @Mt80. Schedule A was requested from us through email about 2.5 months after AOR. Though, it differs per case, I guess. Hope this helped.

Hi everyone! Just wondering if you are having the same experience up to now. Application received by Mississauga on Sept 1st after I completed what was missing (app returned Aug 17 and resent Aug 30)but still no news yet.
Besides my 6 months visitor visa ends Nov 19. Should I extend my visa now or just wait till I get AOR for implied status. If so, won’t this affect my OWP?
Thanks all for your help.
