Guys, I am an August 2015 applicant. This wait game is too much for me right now, specially when you can't travel.

Need a suggestion - Do you think it would make sense to apply in express entry now? or should I wait with around 14 months already gone.

Hello my friend is also in process of inland sponsorship. she apply in dec 2015 and received aip. last week she receive call from CIC on private number asking her to confirm her address from cic and she did. now the thing is that they both are not living together anymore but they are not sure if they are really getting divorce. so because of that none of her stuff was at the house ( it was lucky coincidence that she was there) but 3 of them came after around 1 hour. and right when they came in they looked around and asked where her shoes were in a funny way because there were only man shoes there and only her 1 pair from that day. then they asked her some questions as to what they were both doing and planing to do today and yesterday. they then asked if she can show where she keeps clothes but none of her clothes were there. they also never had any pictures of them or anything romantic/couple like in the house. they spent only around 20 minutes and they left saying she would recive email about interview. thing is it is obvious what will happen. now the question is, if it is ok that they were separated and if they can just tell the truth that they are living separate but still married?

Holy crap!

Well, they have to tell the truth, and accept what comes out. Otherwise, they are in way more trouble. OMG.. I am soo sorry (and now worried) to hear that story!! WOW!
 
so do you think that it is for sure denied even if they tell the truth that they still are married but took a few month break from each other?

I didn't see you in the spreadsheet -- do you have AIP? From what I have been seeing, you might be nearing the end of the road... it would be terrible to abandon it now. My wife just doesn't think about it and moves on everyday life. The end for us is coming too, and she just doesn't think about it until it does...

That sounded like a marriage fraud investigation...
 
no dont be worried. if only her stuff was at the house like a normal couple does they would have nothing to worry about. but NONE of her stuff was there not 1 thing so it is obvious what there reaction was to that. i wont even blame them because even if though they really are married it really looked like they were not and that it was a fake marriage. she even had fancy clothes on and he had pyjamas on which they also mentioned looked odd.

Inland sponsorship is based on "real relationship" but not the "marriage certificate". Although the marriage still exists, the real relationship has gone. There is nothing to argue. So sorry to hear that. Good luck.

Well, it's definitely new for me to hear that story. In our case we submitted lots of family pics, us doing things together. Her gear is all over our home. They can come in and see our co-mingled laundry too if they want!

That is pretty damn extreme. In the two years that I have been on this forum, I have never read anything like this for an Inland app. It seems CIC have reason to believe that this marriage is fraudulent. They wouldn't just go to these efforts if they thought it was a normal relationship. Could someone have tipped CIC off that this couple is no longer living together? I don't believe CIC would go to this extreme just because of lack of evidence in the application. Then again, it is CIC, so who knows.
If they have separated/plan to get a divorce then she can not be sponsored for PR as that is fraud and she could end up being banned from returning to Canada if found out.

My thoughts exactly. They investigate all cases for marriages of convenience and marriage fraud. But, that's crazy to send 3 officers to just spot check... Good on them!

That said, the interview is likely a removal interview.

Yes, I think so too. This sounds really unusual. CIC wouldn't waste the money and resources for this if they didn't think something was wrong.

I am interested to find out what region/city or town that was in.

Oh my goodness. Well I would be very happy if they came to our home.

Same here... We would invite them for barbeque, and to see if they would like to snoop around. My wife walks the dogs daily too -- go ahead and ask the neighbours!
