Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[nkoff]

Thanks, do you know if it's just the applicant that must attend to Mississauga, or the applicant and sponsor? That way I can plan financially for the trip. Thanks!

it'll have to be you and the sponsor. it's not gonna be in Mississauga. ircc has offices all over the country. you'll be landing at an office geographically close to you.

Anything from July applicants. I'm July 14th and haven't had any request for medical. When i call immigration it says background processing.

How long does that take and whats the next step?

July 31st here and same as you, they haven't requested a medical yet. I sent my police certificate + Schedule A in September.

I saw someone who applied in April and got a request for medical in November (7 months), so we should get a request soon if the timeline is similar.

Does anyone know how long it takes to officially become a PR after medicals have been received? (I thought they were aiming to process a complete application under a year)

still takes months. the really good sign that you’re near the end of the process is when the sponsor gets sponsorship approval. they say they will process 80% of applications in 12 months. so still there are 20% that will go beyond 12months.

How will we know when the sponsor gets sponsorship approval?
I haven't heard anything in months...

your sponsor will receive an email from cic telling he/she is eligible to be a sponsor.

Guys I received AOR on 31 but still no police request or background declaration . Is it normal .

Did you link properly?

 

[Noslord2003]

i got request for police certificate and medical exam, but i did upfront medical exam. So i submitted my policy certificate and medical exam with my application on Dec 1st, 2016.

Ok just wait then. It's a waiting game now. But also call ircc to verify that you haven't been sent any correspondence just to be on a safe side.

I’ve called IRCC to see about speeding up the OWP and there’s no way for them to do so. Typically 3.5 to 4 months you’d get it from the day they received your app. I resubmitted my wife’s recently so now we’ll have to wait another 3-4 months. Ugh..
