Hi Guys, first of all congratulations to everyone with SA.

Our application was received June 9th, but we still do not have SA. Both the sponsor and the applicant have client ID numbers, and says our file was received on June 9th, and our medical results have been received.

We have called the call centre a few times and all we have been told by CIC is that they are processing the application, and that they are waiting for background checks. Is there additional checks that CIC perform during Sponsorship Approval that we weren't aware of? We have submitted all background checks for countries resided in for more than 6 months. Has anyone heard any of similar cases during Sponsorship?

Is there anything else we can do to speed up the process or to get more information? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have u got the SA or not yet? I am waiting too

Oh good! That means you're super close to finishing! Awesome!
Yes, it certainly seems that way. The requested additional document and photos were sent out to CPC-O today. Now back to waiting. They gave us 60 days to respond but we are reasonably hopeful that they will pick up our case once again when the additional materials arrive next week. It seems so close, and much sooner than expected.

I'm sure it won't be long. Based on the spreadsheets, applicants that had to send additional info. didn't seem to have to wait to long after based on the current lead times. Fingers crossed for you! I'm right behind you. :)
 
Status shows that medical results have been received

Hi - was thinking about you on the 29th. You must be here in Canada now :)... How did it go with the US customs car import requirements?

Hey can any of the US to Canada people on here maybe help? I'm visiting with my husband while our application is in process. When I came up the first time they gave me a 6 months visitor record and says I need to leave by October 26th. I've been told I can apply for an extension. I've already left Canada twice to visit NJ and the border agent when I came back to Canada says I'm still good on the visitor record. What do I apply for as an extension online? It all says about visas or temporary visas for $100. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to apply for but I need another 6 months here so we can go on vacation from Canada. Thank you for anyone who can direct me in the right direction so I don't screw anything up!
