Same. I still havent got an email or any communication about SA. Although I was told over the phone I was approved and a letter was sent long ago. I havent recieved anything. Also told on the phone app was sent to local office and apparebtly they recieved it Feb 5 and that the office usually notified u once they receive it.. again, no communication at all. We've been stuck waiting since I saw DM on sponsor in Jan. I dont know what's going on but expecting an interview request at some point
Have you ordered GCMS notes? It might help to know what their concerns are should you be called for an interview... hope you get a positive outcome soon!

Yup. 3 times lol. Once before we even heard about file transfer ( cuz we were told before it was transfered but that ended up only being to BC for workshare) then again right around same time I heard which showed nothing about it. And once just after which I'm still waiting for.

Thank u

No my wife is canadian born and she sponsor me.
She is not working so that means she is not eligible?
We were asked for proof of income two weeks ago and i sent affidavits of financial support from my sister and brother in law.
Im asking coz i think im very close to eligibility

Does anyone know if there is anything we can do if we wait 18 months (or longer) and still get no updates pending background check? Is 18 months the longest wait you have heard of? I wonder if there are people who waited even longer and still receive no news of their applications. I am Feb 14, 2018 applicant and am also waiting for background check to be completed.
Hi, a suggestion would be to contact CIC via Web Form. Explain your concerns and that you are kindly requesting an update regarding your application since it has been over 18 months since your last update. Best to you.

  • change my contact information
  • report a technical problem

Hi guys,

I have recieved my wife s landing interview email today from cic etobicoke.

We had our DM on both sides on feb 15 2019 , and recieved the interview email today March 4 2019. Was really surprised that we have recieved so fast. Just to share some important info : we have sent an email to CIC etobicoke office last week to provide us an early appointment ( Lol , we couldnt wait after the DM ) after reading on this forum that few ppl emailed the office and they recieved a response.
But honestly , we did the same on last tuesday from my wife s email and we didnt recieve any response for the email .
But , since we have a representative on our file , my rep called me this evening and told us the good news.

So it doesnt work all the time i believe only if emergencies , so its based on case to case.

Long story short : we finally at the end of this stressful wait !!

This forum helped me predict the DM , AIP , SA , medical requests , and finally the landing interviews by reading peoples updates on this forum . So i have decided to contribute to help many ppl just like i have benefited. I thank u all for ur wonderful patience and updates shared on this forum which helped ppl like me .. i just feel very thankful to all of u guys ..

My timeline:
Applied : March 12 2018
Medicals req: Dec 28 2018 ( 2 nd time requested due to medicals expired from the Visitor s visa did in dec 2017 )
Aip , SA, DM : Feb 15 2019
Interview letter : March 4 2019
Interview date : March 9 , 2019 etobicoke


Good luck to all of u guys who are waiting , ur next !! Hang in there !!
