2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[adamwd]

Thank youit was very quick, maybe 5 mins, the lady just asked 3 questions and then I signed CORP. 1) if charged/convicted of a crime or offence 2) if was refused admission to Canada or required to leave Canada 3) if there are any dependants we didn't declare

Did your SPONSOR also attended the interview at Landing?

The email I received doesn't say much. Only the following:

1- Passport
2- PT Fee proof
3- Two recent photos
4- Any dependent (included in the application).

Does anyone know when the 12 month processing time starts from for inland spouse sponsorship?
Is it from the moment they receive the application or from the moment they start processing the application?
Our application was received August 1, 2018 but it says they started processing it on February 21, 2019.

Thanks for the info! I have another question. I’m on a closed work permit with an employer through the francophone mobility (exempt of LMIA) that’s valid until 2021. However, I was let go and therefore unable to work for another employer with this permit.

The question is, do I need to advise CIC and adjust my status or am I able to stay and wait until a decision has been made for my PR application since the permit is technically still valid until 2021?

I didn’t ask for an open work permit as I didn’t foresee losing this job when I applied, is it worth asking for it now given that the processing time is showing 4-5 months to obtain it which coincide with the 12 months from when I applied (aug 1, 2018) and potentially would receive PR at same time?

I finally landed in the Vancouver office today!

Our appointment was at 10am, we arrived around 9:50. They saw us 10am precisely. We were done and out by 10:15.
I then went to Service Canada to get my new SIN, and that also took about 10 minutes.

Good luck everyone still waiting.

As per my knowledge, your closed work permit will be voided if you dont work with same employer anymore. I would say check with IRCC or lawyer

I found this article online that says it should be ok. Not sure if I want to poke the bear with IRCC

Article does not mention specifically closed work permit. Open work permit is okay but I would say say talk to a lawyer . Calling ircc might not be a good idea. But get some insight from someone who knows about it
