2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[kidmah]

23 Feb applicant here
Acknowledgement received 21 March
OWP received 11 June
Medical and background check request on 23rd August
Medical and background check provided 13th Sept
Sponsor received DM 19th December
Me as PA received “in process” on 17th December.

I have not received any updates on medical passed or anything else via Ecas.

I am not able to link my application on mycic account, it can’t find my application, apparently.
I have emailed IRCC but received no response.
Requested GCMS notes a week ago to see what’s going on.

On your ecas, does it show medical is received ?

No. All I have is confirmation from the examining doctor who did my medical, that he uploaded it to IRCC on 13th September.

You probably should give a call to the CIC

Hi can somebody answer this. I entered Canada on tourist visa in March 2018 and then applied for PR and Owp in May 2018. Received OWP in August 2018, do I still need to go back after 6 months as per the tourist visa restriction?or can I stay as long as my owp is valid.

You can stay as long as your own is valid…

Hi all.
I checked on Ecas this morning, it says " We sent you correspondence on January 16, 2019 about the decision on you application" . What does this mean?? Any idea?

I received "Eligibility Passed" and " Pre-arrival services" + DM on both side two days ago.

Thank you

Did you already pay your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)?

No Nothing like that

No Nothing like that

I think you should have received the AIP letter which is the principle applicant meets the eligibility requirements.

That means the normal 12 months processing time no longer applied to your case as the VOs are concerned about your app. It could take days weeks months for them to process.There is no specific timeline for this kind of transferred file

DM for sponsor and a transfer to another office for further assessment basically means, as the email says, that they want to examine the application more closely for whatever reason. It's a normal part of the process for applications that have unusual elements/red flags, however it does mean you can expect a delay in processing.

Senior members can correct me, but I do believe transfer for further assessment means you should no longer count on the 12 month average. But wait for others' confirmation on that.

Hello everyone,

I received the request for Medical and Police check in September 2018, submitted them in early October 2018. Since then I haven't heard anything from IRCC yet. What do I expect next and what's the timeline for it from now on?

Thank you,
Selene
