We submitted our application for my husband inland October 2011. In August 2012 we received a letter telling us that I was OK to sponsor him and from then on we have heard nothing. Online the application is In Process. I am just wondering if there is anywhere I can call to find out if everything is ok or where in the process the application is.
I don't really even know what office it went to.
Anyone out there have any info that could be helpfull to us.
Thank you
Since you have not heard from CIC, your file is probably still in Vegreville.
They say the average time is 8 months, so you are still within the range. When you call they probably will say to wait until 8 months, but if you are lucky you might get more information. You can call the general information line and you will get through eventually. CIC: 1-888-242-2100. Ask if there is any information you need to send in?
You should order your FOSS notes, the computer record of the activity on your file. So that when you call your MP, your government representative, you will have the information to help the MP get some action from CIC. Ordering them will not slow down your case at all. They only cost $5.00 follow this link for more details. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp
They take about a month to get.
The good news is that we have recently on this site started seeing some action on the 2011 cases that got AIP in August and September.
The waiting is hard there is no two ways about it.
