    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

    Almost the same timeline. What sucks is that my wife cannot start working as our daughter just turned 16 months. And there no way to get OHIP, and without OHIP believe it or not, we have been ridiculed at clinics or asked dumb questions. I've started correspondence with the Minister of Health...

    Yes he will receive a new ETA with an OWP status. Wait till he gets the OWP, which will be in a week, then yes he can leave and come back. Search for my previous post on what our situation was like. I've personally experienced this situation.

    Exactly the same timeline here, medical was upfront, PCC and schedule A submitted right after linking the application. Background check started 20th Nov. And since then nothing.

    If you are a July applicant and the maximum time for processing is 12 months. Why do you want to expedite the case through your MP? Keep good terms and try not to go to the MP unless the 12 months have passed, or if you get some bizarre request/response from CIC. If you push now, you'll be heard...

    I don't know where people get the "do not leave for more than three weeks because some immigration lawyer ("lawyer????") said so"... There is nothing preventing you to leave Canada, you are welcome to leave when you feel like. Now coming back is a different story. If at the port of entry the...

    Try to link this way : Use UCI and surname Leave passport info blank For # of applicants, use two if you are sponsoring your spouse only and no dependent children, ( # of applicants = sponsor + principal applicants + number of dependent children). I think this might be problem you are facing.

    OWP at that time was processed much faster, I think they are slowing down now or this might be case specific. We mentioned that my wife is on maternity leave and would like to transfer her job to Toronto for the same employer. I guess that would be case specific for us? Not sure why 1 month...

    Check the "Application message" section just under the "Application status" section, you should have a message saying "Request letter", click on that thing (the > sign besides it). Not sure about your case, but we all usually get a request letter detailing the police clearance certificate (PCC)...

    Hey all, Did anyone of you get the Sponsor Approval? I received my AOR on 6th July, and I haven't heard anything yet! Does anyone have any info on getting OHIP with AOR alone? I think you can get it after AIP, but looks like they aren't sending out anything in stages, but all at once. This sucks!

    Further update. OWP received in mail today. Was issued on the 26th of July. So OWP took only a month and 20 days to go through from the start of application. I really am fearing if we will get the approval for sponsorship and interview and landing too soon.. Ideally October or after would be great.

    I second this, no need to get a lawyer. An written explanation will be good enough. An advice about writing these kind of letters, ask someone else to proof read your letter, someone who is not that emotionally invested in your case. They'll be able to tell you if the letter sound angry/jumpy...

    We tried doing an outland, but couldn't really do the forms because my wife was in Canada at that time. Its a sticky thing with the application, when you put your current country as Canada you have to send the application as an inland. Also since we have the lease agreement, hydro bill...

    She was in Canada for 6 months already, I know its not really ideal this way, but I couldn't get her to understand the implications! Any one on the forum went through this? Like stay out of the country for a few months with an inland application. As for her return, she will be returning with me...

    No decision made, they just started processing the application. I don't know if I can link the OWP online, we submitted the OWP and sponsorship application together.

    Oh boy, got an update today. We messed up the fee part of OWP and only paid $100. Now they sent us that they have deducted the amount from Right to permanent residency. They say not to pay the different for OWP and that they will refund RTPR remainder, and will ask us to pay it later. At least...
