Hi Everyone,
my wife's application for PR was received by the CIC in April 2014, but we are still in process. I have already been approved to be the sponsor but her status is still just received medical results.
I have been reading other comments and it seems everyone has progressed much further even with a later application date. Should i be contact CIC about this? we are in Ontario....
First, check your ECAS and your wife's ECAS. As in, log-in using her info and your info. If you just use your info you'll see both of you in there, and there will be some minimal information about both of you.
If you log into your wife's ECAS you'll see a lot more info regarding her application process, and you may see a reason behind why it's been taking so long.
My ECAS (sponsor) says that my Sponsorship Application is still in process, and my wife's last status (on my ECAS) just says medical results received.
My wife's ECAS says that she's landed already, and has a lot more information about letters set to us (to my email, not hers...).
Next, order GMCS notes.
Next, call the call center. You're 2 months past first stage timing, so they'll probably tell you that 2nd stage takes 10 months, therefore everything is fine and normal.
Tell them that you haven't received your approval in principle yet, which is the end of the first phase, therefore no, it's not normal.
The best you can do wis put in a request to send you your AIP.
Now, if they have already drafted up your AIP, and it is at least 40 days old, the call agent can request that it is sent out to, which will take about 40 to 60 days.
Sometimes they don't feel like giving you AIP at all. So there's a good chance that they won't send you one.
Hopefully you can find out whatever it is that is delaying your second stage.
Sometimes they forget/don't bother to inform you that you need to send a piece of information in.
The other option is that the agent whose desk your application landed on simply went on vacation for a few months, and therefore delayed your application. This is also normal.
Sorry for your luck so far. Keep strong.
