Hello,
Received AIP and SA yesterday but when I checked the status on the CIC site the timeline for the PR application
- Application for permanent residence on February 26, 2020.
- Processing application on December 23, 2020. (This was September 18, 2020 when AOR/OWP was received before)
- Biometrics Received November 23rd, 2020
- Sent medical instructions on November 26, 2020.
- Medical results have been received.
Sponsorship application shows "Decision Made" and PR application is still showing "In Process"
Is it normal for the processing date to change?
When someone submits an app to sponsor a spouse or common-law partner, IRCC first starts the processing of the sponsor to see if the sponsor is eligible to sponsor his/her family member.
Once it has been fully determined that the sponsor is eligible, they issue SA and that is when they start processing the actual app which is for PR (for the person being sponsored).
Although u already got AIP (AIP is considered first stage approval), the app still needs to come to a final decision (pending medicals, background check which consists of criminality and security check for PA and any dependant if applicable), which is what they started processing yesterday.
I know u might have already passed medicals but background check has to be completed as well before a final decision is made on the PR.
You should receive DM soon on the actual app “PR” and CoPR soon as well.
congrats.
