Inland Spousal Sponsorship - December 2018
- Thread starter haroonahmedalvi
- Start date
As we hadn't seen any status update since mid May, we called the CIC and spoke to an officer earlier this week. The officer informed us that the background check was completed (not sure when exactly) and criminality check was in progress.
Yesterday, we received Eligibility Passed emails and today, I see a DM on the sponsor side (ECAS). Hopefully we're close to the finish line.

Congrats! Could you please tell me what is the next update you received after the "DM on the sponsor side" and how long did take to get that update?
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to thank everyone who helped us through our PR process or as I like to call it PR Nightmare. LOL
All your feedback, positive vibes, and conversions helped us through some rough times. I am so happy that my spouse is now PR holder and years to come will become a Canadian Citizen.
Had our landing interview today it was super easy and the officer was very nice, she kept making jokes and was very funny and pleasant.
They asked us for :
Both passports
Driver license ( to show same address)
Confirmed our home address so they can send PR card.
PR card pictures
Landing interview letter
She asked my spouse these following questions:
Are you working?
When was the last time you entered Canada?
Have you been convicted of crime in Canada or anywhere in the world?
And that was it. She said congratulations. We than walked over to the Service Canada in the same building and updated our SIN number to reflect as a PR holder SIN.

For those who followed our story it was pretty crazy. CBSA discovered my spouse was out of status and overstayed in Canada. And than the exclusion order and CBSA seized documents it has been a crazy few months. CBSA didn't make it easy for us. However because we submitted PRRA and than the PRRA officer called our immigration officer we got approved in principle within 3 months But with gods grace we where able to get through the process.
Again thank you to everyone who reached out to us!! <3

Congrats! Did you receive your PR card yet? we landed last week Sept 27. Just wondering the timeline to get PR card. online its says 15 days.
Yes I did! The card was mailed within 10 days after the landing interview.
Strange that we received Landing interview invite today but still no DM. Compared to other’s timeline the interview invite is usually sent same day or after the DM. I guess every case is really different! Still happy with this news!!

Going into Vancouver for landing this late afternoon. I have all of my requested documents ready. This seems surreal! I am still nervous for no reason! I am traveling from Vancouver Island so hope the travel goes smooth. I will update when I am finished up.
Thanks!
I keep checking that I have my things in order making sure i did not forget anything. Lol its crazy. But i keep seeing it is a super easy appointment so I am trying to calm down!
You'll be fine! It's mostly a formality!
I say that, and I packed our documents last week and our landing interview isn't until the 9th...
