INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[QuebecOkie]

The numbers that CIC provides online (the 11 months/11 months) are the time in which 80% of applications are completed. 80% of the inland applications have stage one approval within 11 months (which means many were done much sooner, but which also means that 20% take longer), and 80% of inland applications complete stage two within 11 months (again, some much faster, 20% take longer than 11 months). It's not an average or median timeline.

Were we wrongly denied do you think? It doesn't make any difference to us now because we received AIP yesterday but I sure am curious now.

Yes, I think you were incorrectly denied. Congratulations on your AIP at least!

@marylou, I can't reply to your message, it says your mailbox is full. Here's what I typed up to send to you:

That information on the CIC website tells you nothing about "average" times. There's a better data set available. http://data.gc.ca/data/en/dataset/427337d0-7c36-4fed-8428-c6a63f8c19b3. You can download a spreadsheet that gives a lot more information about timelines (pay attention to the tabs at the bottom, there are multiple pages with different information). You can see the time in which 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 80% of apps were finished to give you a better idea of average timelines and how fast or slow the process can go. Keep in mind that you need to be looking at Family Class Sponsorship.

Thanks a lot.....I just noticed that my inbox was full and I emptied it....I will look at the data and let you know.

Thanks so much again.

I'm the one who was quoted from the 2012 thread who sent my police certificate and did my medical exam AFTER I sent in my app, but BEFORE CIC requested it. I am obviously very glad I made the choices I did, as I received AIP and DM on the same day, and I've since landed and await only my PR card before this is all behind me. I wanted to add one little detail, though. I already had my UCI (there are a few small differences when you apply within Québec; I received my UCI at AOR, as we were instructed to submit the Québec undertaking to request the CSQ) when I did the medical. I'm not sure whether or not having just the sponsor's UCI is enough to match documents to your file. I would *think* so, but we all know common sense is no way to figure out what will work with CIC.

You won't get any additional confirmation. I, too, did my medical after application and before CIC's request, but I never even saw "medical received" on ECAS until after DM. I did send a CSE (case specific enquiry) to CIC. It wasn't answered for a month, so I sent a second, and eventually I received a reply stating that my medical exam and police report had been matched to my file. You've already received this information from the call centre, and I think that's all you're going to get.

Thank you, yes CIC call centre tell me my medical received

I think it is becoming clearer as I go through the figures......

So tell me if I am on the right track.....I am looking at the chart with all Categories, looking at family class.

Am I correct in saying that - 20% of all applications received will be compete in 6mths, 30% in 7mths, 50% in 10 mths, 70% in 14 mths and 80% in 17 mths.

I hope I am interpreting it correctly......

They're not reliable for a lot of policy information, but if the call centre says your medical is there in your file, I would believe them. Now just back to waiting. Good luck!

@marylou, I haven't looked at the data very closely, I just happened to have bookmarked the link, so I shared it. I can't tell you if you're reading it correctly or not. I'm no expert, and since I'm a PR now, I'm not that highly motivated to pour over statistics at this point. I know my timeline was AIP and DM after 10 months and one week (seemed a lot longer than that at the time, lol!). Hopefully some others will look at the info and share their understanding of it to let you know if you're on the right track.

Is this AIP + OWP?

Does "work permit" here means OWP?
