Pretty much yes You are now just waiting for a landing appointment to the office closest to you. Usually isn't too long but is dependant on how busy that particular office happens to be.

So does that means our application has been approved and finalized?

Hello Everyone,

Nope. This is probably the hardest part of waiting... when you are (sort of) near the end.

 

[iamvenus]

Yes I tried calling but no response. need to try again tomorrow. I created a case specific inquiry though.

Do call very early or almost closing. Getting a person to talk to is always tricky.

Hey guys,

Inland applicant here.

I just received notification from CIC that we have passed the eligibility.

I have already done my medical and
Background check status still appears as: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: e are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

What is usually the next step? Fingerprints? Or i get my residency? How long will it be before i hear from CIC again?

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

PR ( Inland Spousal Sponsorship ) application. Here is my time line:

Date Received: July 20, 2017

Medical Exam was requested on March 19, 2018. Submitted on March 27, 2018.
Passed Medical Exam (Ghost Update)
Fingerprinting procedure (RCMP Criminal Record Check) was requested on March 26, 2018. Submitted on March 26, 2018

Here what I can see on CIC

Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results: You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents: Not applicable
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

No update since the Eligibility Passed letter. I have called CIC officer saying that I am getting concern about my application, she put me on hold. She came back and said "Congratulation!! you have a final approval and all you have to do is wait for an email to do your interview" I asked when did I get my approval because I did not get any email or update. She said "Decision was made on June 19, 2018 and it will take 4 to 6 weeks (From June 19, 2018) for an officer to contact you for the interview" It has been over 6 weeks, I called again, I was on hold for 15 min (Long Hold), he came back and said I sent an email to the office that located near you. Still no update!!!!!

What is going on ??? I am going crazy waiting for an email. Anyone with the same time line, please help. I am started to think there is something wrong with the CIC site or my application. I see a lot of Sept Applicants got their interview and congrats for the ones who got it and good luck for the rest of us.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Guys ---------Urgent Help Needed :-(

I am sponsoring my wife and our application was received on March 13th 2018. She received the medical request last week and we went to meet the panel physician this morning. However the doctors office were not able to pull my file or upload the medical details as her IME number was "Not Found" in the system.

We called up two other panel physicians and they were not able to open our file either...

Not sure what to do now... Has anyone come across similar issue... What do you suggest us to do..

thanks for the response.

My application August 9, 2017 . I got AIP on August 8.2018 and SA on August 10. Nothing updates until now . I’ve been 6 weeks

 

[Leogirl22]

when did you apply ? is it Oct 2017 or Nov 2017?

Nov 2017

 

[Leogirl22]

I don't think you should be worried at all. They will probably try again, if not, they will send a letter. It's common that people don't answer calls from unknown numbers or miss calls and they know that.

Anyhow, I would also like to hear anybody's experience on this matter.

Thank you both David and @sylvain1

 

[Leogirl22]

When they called us it said 'PRIVATE NUMBER' , so perhaps it wasn't from them ...

Thanks for your input
I missed their call. It says “unknown caller”

Such great news! Just called and contacted the IRCC/CIC again this morning. The agent that was assisting has confirmed with me that my wife's application has been approved so at this time, we are just waiting for the local office to send us the letter for next step.

She didn't tell me further details but I think that will be the landing interview! yay!
