Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[skeg77]

against the odds, got my landing letter from surrey. landing on June 4th.

So it was about a week from your DM to the landing letter for Vancouver area?

Another quick question, I have read here in other topics that for inland you do not have to provide an RCMP check unless requested. Can someone verify this?

At the time of the application, I had not been in Canada for more than 6 months, but at the time of police check request (about a month later) I had. The police certificate I provided was only for the origin country, assuming CIC will do their own on the Canadian side.

Yay congratulations!!! Here's hoping I get Surrey too. I'd like to avoid heading into the city

Looks like our timeline for AIP and DM is the same - here’s hoping we get landing letter invitation for Vancouver area soon!

I've noticed that too,specially for outlanders from US citizens the process is taking about 4 months as I can tell from facebook groups

Yup, agreed. US citizens' case pretty fast.

I just saw your timeline on your signature I'm in quebec as well,as I have seen montreal's office is pretty quick to set up the landing interview!!

What's your status on your ecas? In process for both of you?

I live in Quebec city and I'm not sure if they work fast or not. My Ecas status is still: In process for Sponsor; and Application received for Sponsored. But I'm thinking in a positive way like I commented somewhere previously that I hope it works like my Work permit. People here were talking a lot about their status changing on MyCIC from In process to Start reviewing... But mine? Nothing until I got a message to inform that I got a work permit (before 4 months since I applied). So I truly hope that everything will be alright although my status hasn't changed for further updates; and that we all will receive PR card in the next few months he he

I feel exactly like you! My ecas is saying the same

I sent application on Feb/2017 and got FN on March 23/2017 applicant. Still waiting and no update too

I applied in Jan 2017 (inland). According to the status, the processing started in Dec 2017 (for the applicant).

The application status changed to 'We need additional documents to process your application. We will send an e-mail or letter,' sometime in Dec 2017. We received no email or letter. They requested additional documents for the sponsor in Feb 2018 through a phone call. The person who called claimed to have sent an e-mail/letter which we never received. We finally sent the additional documents requested (mainly salary slips for the three preceeding months and proof that the Sponsor (PR not a citizen) had definitively returned to Canada because he had previously resided and worked in the US). After a while, the status changed again to 'Additional documents required'. We received no communication from them. We made online enquiry because it is impossible to reach an agent and we were told that everything is in order. But, there doesn't seem to be any progress.

It is indeed frustrating. I have been holding off a visit to home country expecting that I might hear from them anytime soon.

Any updates of applicants from February and March 2017? Can’t believe it’s mid May and still no AIP or DM.

Have you tried to call them?

Well in my case criminality check is still in progress till today and my eligibility check has not started yet …frustration is real lo

When I read in another thread that they processed 333,000 PR applications in 2017, really shows the mammoth task they have, let alone all the other types of applications. We just all cross our fingers that ours is processed in 12 months (or less)!

Same here....Feb 2017....still doing background check. I got the AIP letter. But it still shows reviewing my eligibility. 15 months already.
