Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[KAUR.GOSAL]

Hello everyone. Our spouse sponsorship application was received on 22 Nov, the last update was in May. We called CIC and they said it’s still in the security check. Do you know how long this takes?
Thanks

mine is 21 Nov......nothing yet

Can you share your timeline between DM and landing letter? Also, what day is the interview? I’m in Kitchener as well and haven’t heard from the office yet... Thank you!

Sure. My application was received on Nov 3 last year, and I got AIP on Oct 2, DM on ECAS on Oct3, I never got an actual DM letter.

I got my landing letter in MAIL, and it's issued on Oct.16 ( I didn't check my mailbox until yesterday because CIC agent told me they will NOT MAIL to me, only E-mail or through CIC acccount..well guess what, it came in mail....) and asked me to go to the interview on Oct 30th, so about two weeks after.

CIC agent said it normally takes the Kitchener office 3 weeks to send out the landing letter once the case is been referred to them (I assumed that means DM cuz that's the impression the agent gave me), so if you have passed that 3-week time, 1)check your MAILbox, and if you still didn't get it; 2) call CIC and the agent can send a note to the IRCC Kitchener to remind them you've been waiting for over the 3 week period

Good Luck

We now have decision made made both sides on ECAS! Waiting for the email though.. thanks everyone!!

Congratulations to everyone who is getting finalised! Such a long and stressful process.

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes between DM and landing appointments in Calgary?

Thank you! Im just a couple days behind you on timeline, and I also never received a DM letter either. It’s crazy that they mail you the letter, I will be sure to check my mailbox when I get home.

I think there’s no rule really. I got both DM and landing letters on the same day but I’ve seen people from Calgary waiting weeks. I’d say it depends on the agent .. I don’t know.

Bottom right corner there is a link there that says Webform. I think you can ask anything you want, whether they answer all the questions is a different story. They take their time answering as with most CIC processes

Thanks a bunch

They won't respond to you through the webform if you haven't crossed the 12 month mark (that's what the website says).

I'd say, call them and contact your MP as well, if you haven't already. That's the only way I found out that my application had been transferred.

Can he contact the MP before the 12 months mark?

Thanks for telling me. At least I’m not alone.
The last thing we heard was the medical sin May. Let’s hope we’ll get some news soon

I am not 100% sure, I think I read people saying they contacted them before the year mark. We contacted our MP in the 15th month.
