***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

[kcward7]

Possible SA approval?
I received two emails last night saying they were sending my process to the next level in Ottawa and that I meant all the requirements for sponsorship.
Also, my husband is America and says on our GCKey "Medical exam is not needed unless stated otherwise" Do some not do it?
TIA

Sounds like SA. We got all requests before we were sent to VO. Pretty sure everyone has to do medical. My husband has been living in Canada for the better part of 9years and still had to do it. Not positive for US apps though - all the US ones I know had to do it.

Hello Guys !!!
I need some help. We did receive schedule A request on 15 may which was submitted this week but we dont have any medical request so far . Is it normal or are we supposed to get it with schedule A request

I do not see any place on CIC/GCKey website to upload our Schedule A form, until they've requested it.

My husband submitted via IRCC webform

It's averaging between 7.5-9months last time I checked - hoping it's faster than that we are in London VO as well!

is that the time from when they receive the file in London or from the time we submit it here in Canada?

No I think it's the actual time at the London VO, there is a spreadsheet somewhere let me try and find it for you

Hey guys,

I have a question...We received our AOR yesterday - May 24th.

Now, I am bit confused as I read through this forum.

Will I the sponsor recieve Sponsorship Approval before my hubby receives any type of request for either Schedule A, PCC or Medical? I'm just not sure of the order we will receive these. Can anyone help with this?

Also, can I go ahead and tell.my hubby to do his PCC and Medical and submit it before it is even requested?

how can I have my timeline added to the spreadsheet?

My husband got his medical request even before I got my SA. Also I would recommend waiting especially for the medical because CIC will give you a form with your UIC that you give to the medical centre and they directly submit your results to CIC. Our medical request, test and CIC receiving our results took altogether less than 2 weeks.

Not sure, I haven't done it personally, maybe there's instructions in there

Everyone must undergo a medical examination. We received the email last night our file was transferred to Ottawa but still haven't received a medical request. I'm assuming we will receive something soon.
