So how quickly do they move along when processing Inland? If it shows July 2013 now, how long will it take for that to change..rough idea?

I'm going to assume that no one else has gotten AOR in the last 3 weeks. It appears I'm next on the list and am just trying to reassure myself that the application won't be coming back to me. Has anyone heard any other delightful stories from CIC regarding this new delay? It seems just as they finally started to get things moving something else has happened.

Cioannou, I am in the same boat with you. Our application was sent on the 7th of Feb, and received by CIC on the 10th. It worries me a little that people that got their application received later then us (Mary) got their AOR already. I hope we get ours soon! By the way, congrat to Mary.

It looks to be just Mary who has received AOR after us so I'm not too worried just yet. I'm just glad there's finally movement, nothing happened in the last 3 weeks.
 
i hope everyone receives AOR soon. please call cic and ask the agents to look you up in their database. we did that last week and even we didnt have AOR last week, we knew our application wasnt lost. you may need to call cic several times until you talk to a helpful agent

There is no stopping anyone from applying for spousal PR through H&C means. However to accepted for H&C means, you have got to prove that you have a case whereby the sponsored applicant's life is in jeopardy or will be under duress if returned to native country. It is also one of the longest PR sponsorship route to take, much much longer than "inland" sponsorship.
