Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

This may have been asked before.. But what is the next phase after you submit Police Certificates and Schedule A?

long anticipation, then med request, then more anticipation while background check is being processed, then final stages (SA, AIP and DM)

Hmm. I submitted my Schedule A and Police Certificate back in August... my account says they're reviewing my background check, but I haven't gotten a medical request yet (been anticipating it for a bit now). But yes, there's definitely a big waiting period in between.

from what i've learned here, each app's stages are spaced out differently. i submitted my schedule a in june and i'm still waiting for ircc to either receive my meds or ask me to redo it (i'm pretty sure it expired a few days ago). my background check started in november.

i read some post saying that open work permit for inland spouse application is only until end of the year? is this true? i just submit my application last week and know that it takes time for them to actually look on it.so ,im a bit stress... tho, i remember i called to the ircc before we submit our spousal application the ircc agent told me to submit the open work permit as well .so i guess they accept it.

It does unfortunately We had a similar situation ( we missed the $155 fee) and had to resend to Vegreville... Originally submitted Sept 5, 2017, resubmitted Nov 15, 2017.... have yet to hear anything back. Very stressful and disappointing! There was another applicant who sumbitted same say as us and received OWP on Nov 28 ..... !!

Bummer.

Because we now have implied status due to having received our AOR, do you have a recommendation as to what to put for question 7 which asks the "From" and "To" dates for our visitor status in Canada? Should I put the date of six months from the date of entry?

Just received email from CIC today!!! We finally have a UCI!!!
We sent in our application October 23rd.
Be on the look out folks! I wish you the same joy my husband and I feel right now. Until the next anxiety! hahaha!

How can I call them?? I can't work out how to get through to an actual person. I've submitted an inquiry but have yet to hear back, they may not even reply at all. VERY stressful!!

Look for the telephone number of the processing center where your case is processed or maybe you can call Vigreville and ask to speak with an agent, hopefully they can help you.

This isn't true. Usually the OWP is valid for two years or until the expiration of your passport, whichever is sooner. I wouldn't worry.

he meant the open work permit pilot program that was only until december 21 2017 but was just confirmed to be extended for another year.

Have you been able to link your app again? I have been trying every day but still cannot link my app. I've heard that sometimes it doesn't get linked at all but is still approved, but I'm just dying to know if it is processing or not so I can ease my nerves.

I put our timeline in my signature for you. We lost a bonus month because they tried to return the work permit application to our non-mailing address the first time. We have been trying to link the OWP too but I don't expect it will work for another couple weeks (based on what Shanonnbella was just saying).

Just an FYI someone in the Facebook group said they are September 28th applicants and only got their AOR December 13th. I know there are the lucky ones from October that have received them already. I hope this gives the early/mid October applicants some hope that theirs may still be coming before the New Year.
