Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[Tin tin]

I signed in a moment ago and noticed that my application status had changed to "Updated" - but then my session expired due to inactivity and when I signed in again the status was back to "Your Action is Required" (which is a glitch since I've uploaded and submitted all necessary documents - I've confirmed with CIC).

I've seen this happen to others in this group before and if I remember correctly that meant there was some progress?? Some who noticed this received correspondence or something within the days following. Has anyone had this experience?

Look at background or eligibility and see if its updated.

Sorry this was dealt with. Ignore it.

Hello!
I sent my PR + OWP in Oct 2017 and it was received on Oct 20th 2017. With my application package, I sent a medical exam that was about to expire (it expired on Nov 16th 2017).
In my online account, my PR application shows that I passed the medical exam. However, my concern is my OWP (online it shows the usual "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.") because I have intentions of working in the health field. Should I do another medical exam upfront and send now?

I don't get why people like to send things they don't ask for and complicate everything and potentially delay everybody else. Do what they ask. If they don't ask, don't do it. Upfront medical doesn't speed up your application. It can delay it.

Yes, from what I’ve seen. I submitted August 8th and mine starting processing about a month ago. My OWP application recently changed to “We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

When was your OWP submitted?

mine was submitted/received in October 5th and still says "We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility." i really dont know whats the criteria or the order to review submitted applications

Thank you so much for your helpful answer and I hope I didn't disturb your day.
Now, for those who really care:
I called CIC and they recommended me to do a medical exam upfront and just add it to my work application through the Webform. Otherwise, the Open permit that I will receive will be limited and I won't be able to work in the health field, and I will need to send a new application to change the conditions of my Open work permit. I read other forums as well and It sounds about right.

Hello All - I submitted my application on nov 28 and had it returned today due to wrong version of the checklist used Also it didn’t have an representative form in there to have CIC provide update to my husband on my (principle Application) behalf. Anyway, will be resubmitting the package again.

Question - has anyone been in this situation and have any advice to provide? Want to get it absolutely right the 2nd time.

Hi I'm sorry to hear that but I thought application takes atleast 2 months to be returned?

Are you residents of Ontario? I can give information or figure out something for your pregnant wives who do not have health cards at the moment to receive antenatal care. Get in touch with me if interested.

Hi, My wife is 4 month pregnant and doesn't have OHIP. Can you please provide more information. Thanks a lot!!

Hi Guys,

I think my situation is different here. Need your help and information.

I did my landing at Etobicoke IRCC office on Jan 8th, 2018. My wife is here with me in Canada and applied Spousal sponsorship without OWP on Jan 10th, 2018. Her visitor visa will expire on Jan 26th, 2018. She is 4 month pregnant now.

My questions are below:
1) What status she will hold in Canada after Jan 26, 2018?
2) Do I need to apply for any VISA (Visitor/ Open Work Permit) to gain the Visitor status?
3) Will she get OHIP coverage ( I heard she will not get it)? but just to confirm.
4) Is there any better way of medical services if we dont have OHIP?

Please do the needful and Thanks a lot in advance!!

1. She will have no status in Canada
2. I don’t know why you didn’t apply for OWP it would at least keep her status. Or apply for a visitor extension. OWP would keep her in status though.
3. No she will not qualify
4. I suggest using midwives to keep costs down.
