I can't for the life of me think the reason for refusal. It's such a shame because I love Canada.
I will take some the next steps

From what you've posted here, you have no reason to assume you have been refused.

Especially since you said ECAS shows your partner as being in process.

Unless they told you something different over the phone, or in reply, that you haven't wanted to reveal here, your overreaction of packing up a life & moving to Australia is.... extreme.

I agree, it sucks that you haven't received any notification of SA, but if you're in ECAS/MyCIC, it's unlikely the application has been lost. As much as I despise the entire immigration process, I realize that after they improved their processes in December, the immigration ETAs for Canada is more or less on par with the world's now, especially with the improvements to the inland app processing times.

If I were to emigrate to the US through my wife, it will take me 10-12 months to get PR with their equivalent of the Outland application. Out of curiosity, I did a quick search and it looks like Australia's is 12 months. Sadly, it seems like any immigration process is highly bureaucratic, time-consuming, and life-energy sucking, and I wouldn't wish this kind of work and stress on my worst enemy.

I agree with Bcboundboy. Thinking of it logically, if your sponsor application doesn't have a decision made, then that goes both ways: he hasn't been rejected either. If there were something that arose to deny your sponsor approval, it would have come up and they would have contacted you. Since there's no communication whatsoever, it seems much more likely that there is an error on their end; either they've forgotten to email you, or something got mixed up. Don't throw in the towel if there's no reason for you to be rejected.

Anyone of you here did not include "on a separate sheet of paper, provide any additional details about your current relationship that you believe would help prove your relationship is genuine and continuing"?

I did not include that because i thought the forms we filled up (esp the sponsored spouse questionnaire) and other proofs like pictures since 2007 and wedding, chats since 2013, few western union receipts, tickets are enough to prove. My husband and i started dating since 2007 and been in a long distance relationship since 2013. And now im worried bec we didnt add that.

By the way, the latest correspondence from the visa ofc was additional doc for permanent residence fee.

Hoping someone can share their experience and/or ideas. Thank u.

I did provide a separate sheet of paper ... I wrote a 4-page letter detailing our relationship and visiting routine ... and they want more proof (in addition to the photos and other stuff I submitted). They asked for it when they requested the permanent residence fee. So if they didn't ask you for anything else along with the fee, you're probably good!

Hi kimmwhali,

We didn't include seperate paper for that section too, because we are confident with photos and convos in skype and the pictures with our relatives. We've been long distance for 7+ years. I think our wedding is enough proof of our genuine relationship.

Up to now, no additional documents ask from the MVO. Lets be positive. Our turn will come. We just have to wait.

Im hoping they wont ask for it anymore. Thank u for the response

Yes I did. Did they request for you RPRF already?

We are almost there.

Anyone please tell me what all documents are required to submit and if you have the checklist than please forward me. I also got married recently in India and I am a PR. Now I am looking to sponsor my wife.
Also, Regarding PCC, shall I have to get the INDIAN PCC + Canadian PCC in Canada as well as my wife PCC from INDIA? And do I have to get my wife medical done before submitting the file or after submission of sponsor file she will get the request for medical?

I am Indian national + Canadian PR and I am in a category of Outland case for sponsoring wife. She don't have any visa for Canada.

I really feel for you! I know how frustrating it can be, especially when you have other people's time lines to compare to! When I was going through the Australian process, one of my good friend's also was and I kept comparing my timeline to hers and it stressed me out.

Would the delay/confusion possibly be from applying "Outland" but you both live in Canada? Should it maybe have been the "Inland" process? (I honestly don't even know the difference). You could also just have a lazy officer working on yours!

I would just keep waiting, as hard and frustrating as that is, remember the timeline is 12 months. If it were to reach that time with no communication then I would think to throw in the towel.

Yes. They did, on march 3rd and we paid and submitted on the same day as well. We only received automated messages from them twice confirming the receipt of the document on two different dates.

And yeah..im being hopeful and praying. Bec in manila thread, there are november applicants already being asked for PPR.

Hi.. Congratulations. Go to www.cic.gc.ca for the whole spousal sponsorship package. Checklist and all other forms that you need to fill up are all there

As a sponsor, i didnt get pcc, only my husband. For the recent updates from cic, one can only go for medical exam once you receive the medical request.

Good luck
