It’s the same for us and I’m assuming it’s because Vancouver is so backlogged and slow. I think we can expect to wait a few months in limbo with no letters, judging by what others seem to be experiencing. Probably nothing until the landing letter/appointment, which is 2-3 months after DM.
****JUNE 2018 INLAND Application****
- Thread starter lcsr
- Start date
Well. Officially one day over the expected completion time line. 
We called CIC and were told basically things look "in order" on their end and that we would just have to wait. My online account on CIC now says something like "we are taking longer than usual to process your application", and something about complexity.
A little frustrating because there really isn't anything odd or complex about our situation. We are married, sent oodles of proof for cohabitation and our marriage. Submitted the Schedule A up front. (see timeline for info).
Is it too early to write to my MP?

Definitely contact your MP, this alone will take a while for you to get a response so I wouldn’t wait. Your application is most likely only waiting for a final decision and is waiting in limbo until an immigration officer picks it up for review. I have no idea how this work and it’s frustrating to see that some January 2019 already landed when others are passed the 12 month timeline.Well.

I got my interview email today! For those checking ECAS and MyCIC for updates, it doesn't seem very reliable or consistent so I wouldn't rely on it too much. We had no updates at all since the medical back in February then suddenly we got AIP and DM on both sides in ECAS within a few days of each other at the end of May. We never received any correspondence for DM, just an ECAS update. I'm a June 18 applicant so MyCIC is now saying "Your application is taking us longer than usual to process." even though we already have DM. Our landing interview is for July 18 at Vancouver so it'll be exactly 1 year and 1 month for us. The whole process seems very inconsistent with people who applied many months after us landing already so I understand the frustration. Good luck to everyone waiting still!
My MP only provided status and said that the process seems normal, so based on my personal experience, the MP can't speed up the process even though I am past the one year processing time. Is anyone else still waiting for the sponsor approval from June applicants?Well. Officially one day over the expected completion time line.

Yes I am still waiting . I am June 6th in Montreal. What is MP? I haven’t contacted anyone at CIC coz it’s says online that it’s taking longer than usual. I don’t know what to do.My MP only provided status and said that the process seems normal, so based on my personal experience, the MP can't speed up the process even though I am past the one year processing time.

MP is member of parliament. Look for the one that’s responsible for the area you live in. You can find that online. MPs have greater access than you do and can maybe help out.
Im June 4 applicant (Mississauga) and we still waiting for SA and same message on gckey your process is taken longer ... my sponsor (my wife) call to CIC two weeks ago and day after I received this mail:
Good day,
This email is in regards to your sponsorship application processing time.
It appears that you have all the required documentation on file and your file is now waiting to be reviewed by an Immigration Officer.
Kind regards,
C&I Services Assistant

Is it your local office ?
Hiw come they sent u email?
Did you tell agent to ask the officer about your case,?
Local office Mississauga
My wife call and the agent who attended the call told my wife that she will send a message to my case worker and after day I got that email
We also filed on June 4th, and have received nothing except the medical request and result. We sent an inquiry via the web form (after having no luck getting through on the phone line). We got a boilerplate reply pointing out all sorts of obvious things like how to log in to ecas and mycic - the core of which was:
All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.
One of the questions we asked, specifically, was "which office has our application" (our medical request came without an email). The only identifying feature in this recent reply was the signature - "Pascalle, Agent xxxx", so we still don't know where our application is being processed. We ordered GCMS notes 30 days ago, so we might learn some more on Tuesday, I suppose.
