Spousal sponsorship

[KaZRa]

Hey guys. We sent in our sponsorship app with OWP for my spouse (Inland) and it was received by CIC on Jan. 3. How long does it take to hear an initial response?

Seems to take around 28 days for first response for approval of sponsor.

 

[KaZRa]

Ok, we're past 28 days. Someone else told me it's about 2 mths before they even open the app?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knew what is the normal waiting time(Vienna Visa Office) after the completed interview, 2nd medical, and updated Schedule A form had been sent?

We had the interview on Nov 19th 2013, request for 2nd medical on Nov 25th 2013, completed 2nd medical on Nov 26th 2013, and sent the doc on Nov 28th 2013- AND WE ARE STILL WAITING. (not to mention that we applied 2 YEARS AGO, Feb 22nd.).

Is it normal to wait this long after the 2nd medical?
Any similar experiences? Help? Please?

CIC listed time for SA: 33 days.
You should hear back very soon.

No that is for outland app. The poster did an inland app which is completely different times. Better to check in the inland thread to see when you should get AOR, but as far as I know you have to wait several months.

Ok, Thanks. My mistake thought was Outland.

Hi Friends

I am gathering some knowledge for a friend of mine. I have learned about 5 year Sponsorship bar rule. I just want to know does this 5 year bar rule apply to this case: My friend is PR and his divorce is in process in India. He did not sponsor his wife for PR. After the divorce, if he remarries and sponsors his second wife for PR (which will be first time he will be sponsoring his spouse), Does this 5 year bar rule apply to his case?

regards

Was your friend himself sponsored to receive his PR?

No. He got PR under FSW fast track prog by himself.

Rule should not apply to him.5 year bar only applies if he himself was sponsored to receive PR.

Hello everyone,

If I am currently working in canada on a work permit and I received my COPR, can I leave Canada for vacation and make my landing when I return at Toronto Pearson International? Or do I have to make a "flagpole" entry? Thanks

I am sponsoring my partner of the past 12 years and we have both been called in for an interview in the next few weeks.
Anyone can give us some advice as to what they will / might be asking?
AI was under the impression that our application was very, very well completed.
