Hi, I’m the husband living in Canada and sponsoring my wife living abroad. Sent the application package in Oct-2018 and here is what the online websites are showing. First the e-CAS and second the online site that my wife linked lately. I changed some obvious info about the name and the exact dates but overall everything is laid down below.
Other than an email or two informing us for the acceptance and medical, we didn’t see any negative feedback or request yet. So wondering with the timelines below if someone can say with you his/her own experience if it’ll be coming soon or need to wait the 5 months? I know about the 12 months etc..
Just trying to anticipate things, and find people with similar chronology.
By the way, in theory, the criminal record has expired, I hope they will not ask for another one and hope they will go by the date when I sent the package.
My other question, is what’s next? The Visa?
Thanks in advance and congrats to all the folks who got it already.
