Hi everyone, I called cic this morning as well and I was told the same. The strike does not affect any inbound applications/workers. This is great news for us! now if they could only move on from the Oct 8 backlog ::)

Thanks for the words of support! Well I hope we can all keep each other posted as soon as someone gets any news. All the best to all of us!!

I have a friend who is in Toronto, and sponsoring her husband, who is in Colombia. They submitted their application in January of this year, and a couple of weeks ago, he got the request to get his medical exam and police background check. So there may be some hope for any outbound applicants...

also, does anyone know what is causing the backlog?

Hi everyone, I´ve been away from the forum for a few months (I submitted the sponsorship app for my husband at the beginning of January 2013). We got the LOA at the end of January and have heard NOTHING since then... we are starting to feel very frustrated, wondering what we should do, etc...

Hello... can I also be added to the spreadsheet? My submitted the application on Jan 4, 2013, and received the AOR on January 28, stating that they had received the documents on January 7th, 2013. I´m applying inland, my husband is with me. Do you know if anyone has received "application in...

Thanks for the reply! - would that change of address have an impact in my application? (processing time delay, etc)

Thanks Mariana. He is Mexican, and he has both, US and Canadian Visa (multiple entries for both).

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend. I have a question that I hope you can help me figure out. I currently live in Toronto, but I am getting a job offer in Vancouver, BC. I am dying to accept it and move there, but of course my biggest concern is, what happens with my...

Will do, thanks so much for the advise!

I ordered mine in November and it took 3 weeks. I think yours should arrive soon! All the best

Okay... just to tripple check, the AOR is the same as the email or letter that you get from CIC confirming that they have received your application for sponsorship, and provide you with a file number that you can track your status on line, right? For a second here, I stopped and wondered if we...

Oh, thank you. I am definitely going to give them a call tomorrow and ask. This is the first time I hear about this, and that would be great if we don´t have to worry about having his visa extension approved, etc and if my husband could have the implied status till we have a response from...

Yeah, we did mention that we are waiting on the PR decision, and sent a copy of the receipt to prove it. So, did I understand correctly, that once you receive AOR (which I am assuming is the letter/email that immigration sends acknowledging that they have received your application and give you...

Thank you for your reply! No, we didn´t think of attaching the application to extend his visitor visa with the sponsorship application. We submitted it separately, about 3 weeks after we had sent the PR application, and we applied for the extension of the visitor visa via the regular method...

Awesome, thank you!! I just posted a note on it so now I have it :) I will delete this post so that we try to stick to the one you referred me to only. Paola

Thanks Nigea! and hello everyone! I am glad to find a group of "2013 Inland Applicants". I am sponsoring my husband, who came to join me in September, 2012. We submitted our application on January 2nd, 2013, and was received on Jan 7, 2013. We received the email confirming (or acknowledging...

Oh, really? that is good news (for now anyways). At least he doesn´t have to rush and go back before we get a response. Thank you for your feedback. Paola

I should also start by telling you about my "case": I am a Canadian citizen, I am the sponsor, and I am sponsoring my husband, who is from Mexico (I was born and raised there too). He came to Canada last September (under a visitor visa) and on January of 2013, we submitted our application. We...

Hi, I am a Canadian citizen and I am sponsoring my husband to be a PR. He moved to Canada to be with me on September of 2012 with a visitor visa. He has a multiple-entry visa but we are too afraid to "cross the border" and having him denied access back in again. Anyway, we submitted our...
