2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[ronakshukla009]

This is what I Found in Service3.cic.gc.ca :

1. We received your application for permanent residence on February 9, 2018.
2. We started processing your application on November 22, 2018.
3. We sent you correspondence on March 8, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
4. We sent you medical instructions on August 8, 2018. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
5. Medical results have been received.

What's the next step guys? Should I call CIC?

I checked ECAS for my husband (sponsor) today and it shows DM on both sides. I also got a notice today for an "Invitation to Pre-Arrival Services" (which I have no idea what that means) on myCIC. Not sure what that means in terms of the upcoming timeline, but here's my past timeline so far:

Application received in Mississauga July 3rd - 2018
AOR 1 August 9
Linked PR application August 23
Linked OWP application August 24
OWP approved September 25
OWP received October 1
Medical Exam Requested October 23
Fingerprints Requested October 29
Medical Exam Completed November 22
Fingerprints Taken November 19
Medical Exam Passed November 30
Decision Made (both) - on ECAS February 20 - 2019
Invitation to Pre-Arrival Services February 20

My spousal sponsorship application was received July 26, but my OWP application was received November 6. I checked at around 12h37 and there was an update on my OWP. Review of eligibility now says "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." I am so happy, my husband's current work permit is expiring Feb 28

Hello everyone:

I'm wondering if someone can help me out. My mother has sponsored my father inland. I'm a representative on both of their files. I have the file linked to GCKey but am unable to check file status through ECAS.

I'm really curious because as I have been reading through different threads, ECAS and GCKey often do not show the same statuses. And I really want access to their files on ECAS but it just doesn't seem to work for me.

Anyone have any input or facing the same issue? Would appreciate aome help/guidance on this.

Can you copy the info from both? When it comes to end, the ECAS and GCKey are different.

What do you mean by can I copy the info from both?

 

[Vivian-inland]

What do you mean by can I copy the info from both?

How did you log in Ecas? You can use UCI numbers from both, receipt number, or case number, have you tried different way?
