Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[AfantyZ]

Same here.... they asked me for FBI certificate when i never lived in the US. I never even visted. I don't understand what's going on with feb/march batch

so true. All application from Feb and March are so under stress. It takes so long

congrats to you, that's awesome. I'm a Feb 2017 applicant and still being dicked around, getting asked for stuff I have already submitted and asked for info that their website says they don't need from me but i'm still getting asked for it anyway. So very frustrating! My sponsor has been approved so hopefully not long to go... How long after your sponsor was approved that you got DM for PR?

I wonder why there is so many people from Feb/March 2017 waiting and if there is anything we could do to accelerate the process. I'm happy to see other guys from April, May and June getting their approval but at the same time I find it so unfair... Do you know what office is taking care of your process?

I'm March 2017 and they haven't started reviewing mine as well... I really don't understand why is it taking so long for me. I call there every Monday and all they say is "we have received all we need from you, now you have to wait"... almost 15 months waiting for AIP

Same here... But honestly I gave up trying to understand it. It will come when it comes... I have done my part and I'm tired of losing sleep time over it LOL

That's a good question. And I want to add.. How did they issued you OWP with no AIP letter?

Thank you

Thank you @Elena1212 ,

Try calling them around 3:30pm. I always seem to reach them at that time. Also, maybe try submitting your questions through their webform? From my experience, the more you bug them - the better I know how frustrating it is... I can't wait to hear some good news for you!

Hi @Elena1212

Keep calling . I am March 15 and still waiting. I have called and sent a request through webform, and today I went to the MP to get some info about my application (They will reach the officer to give me an update). I'll keep you post it.

Hello, please keep me posted as well. I’m also March 15, I’m think about going to the MP. May I ask what province are you at?

That's what I am kinda confused about to be honest, I wasn't expecting the work permit to be issued until then myself so I'm not sure. Also forgot to mention when I my Vistor Visa expired after the application was sent back, I applied for restoration within the 90 days.

Edmonton, Alberta.
I have no idea what is going on with March applicants

Hi sorry but it’s still confusing . U do need a visa to travel out and in to the country. Out of status and implied are different. And do u receive the AIP because if u received work permit without AIP that means u were in status not out of status

Yes I applied for an ETA in order to re enter Canada. Upon entry, they just asked why I was coming to Canada. And I mentioned that I have an application for PR in process and that was basically it. Also, they haven't even started reviewing my eligibility so I don't think I would have received AIP at this stage.
