how long is the next stage taking now? Do we know?

Anywhere from 1 day to 6 months, depending if you sent your police certificate and your medicals. If you don't get AIP and DM at the same time, than you should expect DM in an average 2 months.

Oh, and congrats for the AIP!:)

I got my sponsership approval today. No AIP though.

Same thing isnt it??


maybe someone can clear this up... but i was under the impression that Stage 1 approval is 'AIP' approval in principal, and AIP IS sponsorship approval...

Next step would be DM ..which is issued on average 2 months after AIP is issued.

I've been waiting for DM for 4 moths now since getting AIP in Feb. Not sure when I'll hear back maybe next month who knows.
 
Not a mistake. Got stage one sponsership approved. Next should come AIP. Then DM. 3 Stages. Not 2. Some people got it all at once but not me.

I think this is something relatively new from CPC-M for inland applications. It seems that they are sending emails to the sponsors first notifying them that they are approved to be a sponsor. Similar to how they do it for an outland. AIP email usually goes to the applicant I saw someone else who had a similar email from CPC-M. but then got AIP a day later. I'm sure Todare will be hearing something soon about it.
 
THIS IS AIP. THERE'S ONLY 2 STAGES, NOT THREE. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM AIP? UNLIKE THE OUTLAND APPS, INLAND APPS GIVE SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL AND ALSO ASSES YOUR RELATIONSHIP, IF THEY HAVE ANY DOUBTS THEY DONT ISSUE SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL (AIP)

Agreed. AIP is the approval of sponsor and initial assessment of relationship being approved. There are only two stages (not 3).

You can see the actual flow chart in CIC publication IP-08
