Hello Robin Philip,ROBIN PHILIP said:
It's like the persons answering the phone have no idea what the updated information is and just don't care.sylvain1 said:
Seriously how can you not be given updated information.
Gloria, did they acknowledge receipt of the updated information?Gloria217 said:
Wow @ 20 months. Unbelievable!!! Have you tried contacting your MP? Did you submit your application through a lawyer?Gloria217 said:
GCMS (Global Case Management System) notes are all governmental notes regarding your application. You can order them under the Privacy Act (free) as you are from within Canada. You fill one for the sponsor and one for the principal applicant. You will get them in a month. This will allow you to see if there is any mistake in the information they entered or if anything is missing.E123456 said:
Similar to Gloria, we are reaching 19 months now. I contacted our MP twice already, but he is told the same bs... that the processing time in 26 months, so just wait. I'm waiting the release of statistics on open.canada.ca for the 4th trimester of 2016 which should be done within a few weeks. Official stats at the end of the 3rd trimester showed that the processing time was 23 months for inland spousal sponsorship applications. I'm sure it will be much shorter for the end of the 4th trimester. With the official report in hands, I'm sure the MP would be able to make it move even if IRCC will continue to say 26 months.browning911 said:
It isn't a lie. If you look at CIC website and processing times, it says for apps submitted inland before Dec 2016, it is 26 months. For apps processed after Dec 2016, it is 12 months. The agent at the call centre is correct. You are still within processing times.sylvain1 said:
Actually, just fill out one of these: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp (PA is section A, Sponsor is section C, sign and date), then have the sponsor apply for the notes. They will send it in one package with no redacted parts (you cannot request the private/personal information of another person without the consent form).sylvain1 said:
Not true, even official statistical reports showed it was 23 months at the end of the 3rd trimester...km9203 said:
Yep but their website shows 26 months. If you look at the stats, only a small % take 26 months. So they tell you it is 26 months, even if the "average" is 23... Cause if you were waiting 26 but their website says processed in 23 months, then they would be lying. 26 is worse case scenario. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.aspsylvain1 said:
I know the website tells 26 months; this is the whole point, that is the lie! The 26 months is supposed to be the average time to process 80% of applications. The 23 months I am talking about, is the exact same thing, average time to process 80% of applications, but official statistics. So the official statistics released at the end of the 3rd trimester (sept 2016) was 23 months. IRCC continues to say 26, but official stats shows it is shorter than that. Stats for the December 2016 will be released within few weeks, I'm sure it will be below 20 months, likely below 18 months. But IRCC will continue to say 26 months, because then you cannot complain of anything if you did not reach 26 months.km9203 said:
Precisely. It is called covering their a55 even at the expense of the truth and so that we cannot call and complain.sylvain1 said:
It's pretty hard to not be approved as a sponsor. Especially in your case. Unless you have a rap sheet that includes domestic violence, or are (or plan to be) actively receiving Social Assistance, you're pretty much guaranteed to be approved. Of course, that's assuming there is no other open sponsorships happening.carolbb23 said:
