2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[garydee]

Hi, I am in the same situation as you, My application was received on May 8th. We have received an DM on sponsor's side and letter recently but nothing on PA side. It is still in progress for eligibility requirement and background check. I am very worried. Please advise when you have an update.

Hi, no news so far, we are worried too! We had no updates on PA side after AIP and it has been so long already! Is there a chance that they still ask for further documentation/interview even after AIP/SA? Or is it very rare?

In AIP letter, it says:" Please note that a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time."

I don't know about the interview but, guess is a background check and eligibility check are two different processes? If your background check is complicated: been to many countries, dependents? other histories?

Either way, if there is nothing, then you have nothing to worry about, it is just regular delay. I totally feel your worry, but it will all turn out just fine!

Hi, I have a question.
May 25 application. Just received SA letter plus another letter saying everything is completed and that IRCC Saskatoon (Saskatchewan) will be contacting me regarding the landing interview.

My study permit expires this Sunday though (Feb.17). I’m assuming that Saskatchewan office should not be as busy as some others and therefore might be getting my landing interview within the next 14 days. Do I need to extend my study permit in the meantime though so I’m not out of status (which would be an extra $150)? Or do I just wait for the interview?

Oh, one precision: on the letter they asked me to bring passport plus proof of payment of fees, that’s it.

Thanks

I don't think our background check would be any complicated. The PA has traveled to many countries, but not lived for more than 6 months in any other countries but Canada and the home country. We also have no dependents and absolutely nothing in our crime record.

When one gets AIP, does it means that only the background check is missing? In which step are the relationship and the rest of our application analyzed?

Thank you, I think I've got the idea about Etobicoke timeline but Mississaga. Because we were planning to go travelling on May, so I just hope by that time I could get my PR card, otherwise we have to rescheduled our vacation time from work.

I really don't know much about Mississauga Office. Hope other members can share.

Hi, perhaps it's best to contact the IRCC Call Centre (1-888-242-2100) to ask agent if you are on "implied status." I would ensure that this is the case. You're so close in the completion of your journey. Also, the agent records the phone call and its content as "notes" and so it would be recorded how you called inquiring about this matter.

Since IRCC offices are closed on weekends and my permit was expiring on Sunday, I thought I wouldn’t have time to talk to one of their agents on time. So I just sent an application to extend my study permit yesterday. We thought $150 isn’t worth taking the risk so close to the end.

I’ll still call them on Monday or Tuesday, to find out if there could be any form of refund after the landing interview (I doubt that but I’ll try, it wouldn’t kill to try).

Thank you for the reply though!

Hello,
May I ask if someone only got SA but not the AIP yet? I got SA on Feb 11 but so far not received AIP yet, been a week. I see people normally got SA and AIP in the same day...I'm worrying.

Nothing to worried about. It's normal. Some people got the SA first, this week is long weekend, so next week you may get the AIP.

I am a July 2018 applicant. Are you an inland applicant? Where on ecas does it say so, Principal Applicant side?

Hi, I am an outland applicant. I realized that this thread is for In-land application side. Is there any popular thread for 2018 applicants? I found some but there aren't many replies on them.

Thanks

Thank you. I really hope so because my application is not a normal one, it's a little bit more complicated.

? QUESTION ?

I have received AIP & SA on Feb 1st, 2019. I have not heard anything from Etobicoke Office for my landing notice.

Anyone has any idea when will I be able to receive it ?

FOR PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED LANDING NOTICE FROM ETOBICOKE OFFICE:

How long did you wait for it ?

Also, when I call IRCC, the automatic update told me that "they are still processing my background check". But I already received AIP and SA, as well as DM on ECAS on the second day.

PLEASE HELP ME !!!!! MUCH APPRECIATED !!!!!

Hello,
Etobicoke is one of the busiest offices so normally it'll take about 3 weeks to 1 month to settle an appointment. My friend waited for 3 weeks and I know someone here was waiting for 1 month. I think you will get the appointment this week, nothing to worry.
