Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[torcanad]

Yes do not forward is written on envelope .I forwarded my mail also to my new address but Canada post returned it back to immigration . I was checking with immigration every week if they received back from Canada post or not. I took almost 1 month to get my card on new address.

Thank you very much for letting me know! Did you submit a Solemn Declaration to get your card back from CIC? Or CIC just sent back the first card once they received it?

 

[torcanad]

Yes, there is a note says "Do not forward" on the top left of the envelope of my card. The address on my letter says "Case Processing Centre-PRC..." not sure if it means a centre in China in my case. So people might receive the card from different addresses, I guess?

Yes, it was in a white envelope with the canada logo and “do not forward” on it.
Received mine Jan 3rd. My card was from Sydney, Nova Scotia

Thank you for your replies!

I called up CIC to check on the status, there is a "Solemn Declaration" form that we can submit to get a new card issued if we don't receive our cards. Not sure how long will this take. I have travel planned in mid-Feb and this is really frustrating. Landed on Oct 23 and it is more than 2 months now.

Yeah, more than two months seems like a long time already considering some have received their cards earlier.
I feel you. I have a trip scheduled next week and I was desperately wishing and hoping to get my card in time.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your PR card soonest.

Quick update: I landed in Vancouver January 11, 2019, I am October 24, 2018 applicant. Finally finished after very long waiting.
Quick question#1: Can I get ride of all the paper work that I have with CBSA as I applied for refugee in the past and I did not get accepted? so I feel they are useless now.
Quick question#2: Can I get ride of all the paper work that I have for the sponsorship application?
Thank you guys for all of you special @david_gat88 and other active members of this form.

Did you mean October 24, 2017? Congratulations! I am dying to hear back from them.

As soon as you become a PR everything else is voided, so I am pretty sure you can get rid of any document you have. I would still keep a copy on a drive but I would definitely get rid of the paper work.
