Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[Yulia V]

Any March applicants who are still waiting for any news (I am March 13th)? I see April ones moving forward, but it's been quiet for me for a while. The only change is that they started reviewing additional documents provided (and I sent everything with my application).

Hey Medieko,

When I received the transfer letter I took it to my attorney (he's very vague, which is why I rely on this forum) and said that they want to look into my relationship with my husband. Right after they requested that I redo my medical because the one I submitted with my application had expired. A week ago I did a telephone interview with a officer from CIC Etobicoke and the next day I received a letter stating that I am eligible to apply as a permanent/for permanent resident in Canada which I assume is AIP. I don't have complete access to my ECAS because I have a representative , but I can sign in online and its says that my application started processing March 1, 2018.

I hope I answer your question and yes not just the letter is confusing; this whole process is confusing and frustrating. I wish you luck and hope you hear something soon.

Hi, sorry, I did not want to make you feel worse and I don't know your lawyer. But I just want to let you know that I had a terrible experience with my former lawyer that was why I stopped working with her, then prepared papers and worked all by myself. The lawyer that I hired was a bitch! She did not work at all. The only thing she did was to ask us to wait for her as she was so busy and she could not work for my application yet. She did not tell me those words after my husband tried to call her many times to push her to work for us! She took almost $1000 (the deposit) for playing with us!!! If I didn't hire her, I would have sent my application at least 3 months earlier!!!

Jeet07,

Don't be sorry. I already came to terms with how some lawyers can be and I find mine very laid back, but what can I do, I already paid him, he provide brief answers when I need it and if anything goes wrong I have someone qualified to handle my file better than I can. This is the very reason why I joined this forum and which is why I am trying to seek advice from others who are going through similar process or who has more knowledge than I do. However, thank you. I appreciate your advice more than you know.

AlexDLacruz,

They transferred my file in October 2017 and I only heard back from them a week ago.

Thank you in advance!

All they needed to know was to confirm that your relationship is genuine, and they had been able to confirmed that through the questions they asked you on phone; hence the AIP you received the next day. So, Be expectant, you should have your DM soonest and Landing Inteview respectively.

Same here my OWP app was received last Dec 14. This morning, i noticed that the review of eligibility has changed to-- we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

That's good, I've heard others mention their OWP was approved a few days after that happened, so hopefully you'll get approved soon!

Hi Amsadek4u,

Thank you kindly. Do you know how long I have to wait before a Decision is Made.

Hello melissaj,

My application was received on July 21st, 2017. I am also out of status and I am very concerned about the OWP. My question for you is when did you receive AIP and after that when did u get the OWP?

Also, I do not have any medical request so far. Getting no OWP is a huge pain.

From what you are saying I can tell you are very close getting CoPR.

Best of luck!
