2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[takz]

Is it your landing interview? If so: congrats, you're done!

They apparently just ask you whether you are a criminal and whether you and your sponsor are still married/common-law.

They also make sure all the information on the landing document they give you is correct. Takes just 10 minutes or so.

I'm inland applicant. Is it landing in this case?

What @andybc said, it was exactly what you needed to know. For outland it will be different questions.

For in-land, the last step is called Landing interview, to grant you permanent residence.

Did you call CIC to ask the reason why your case is still in processing?

Hie, i want some advise:
my husband was out of status when we applied for spousal application, we have already received DM letter but there is nothing on work permit till now. Even on Gckey, it just shows submitted and seems like its not started yet. Can i withdraw my work permit application and get refund of 250$? If yes, should i contact them through Web form ? Thanks.

Hi guys!
I'm sponsoring my wife, inland. Here's my timeline

Application sent: Nov 27
Received: Nov 30
AOR: Jan 23
Medical Received: Feb 5
Medical passed: Feb 11
Background check in progress: Feb 11
OWP email: Feb 27

First question: Does anyone knows how long it takes until the Sponsor Approval and/or AIP after BGC in progress?

I was wondering if you guys know this/have an idea:
If I decide to change jobs now, before I'm approved as a Sponsor, would that affect my eligibility for approval in any way?

Thanks!

It will not affect eligibility

 

[Gabe2019V]

It will not affect eligibility

Thanks!

I would recommend to withdraw it after you get CoPR, because that is the official end of it. In terms of refund, I think you can certainly withdraw at any time but refund I am not sure. Let's hear what others may suggest!

 

[Missrebel801]

did you get DM on application side?

Nope

Same. I still havent got an email or any communication about SA. Although I was told over the phone I was approved and a letter was sent long ago. I havent recieved anything. Also told on the phone app was sent to local office and apparebtly they recieved it Feb 5 and that the office usually notified u once they receive it.. again, no communication at all. We've been stuck waiting since I saw DM on sponsor in Jan. I dont know what's going on but expecting an interview request at some point
