Hi Preetiv,
This is with regards to the Spouse Sponsorship Outland application that I sent to CIC, got the last update from NDVO on April 16th 2015, that they have got the file and assigned a UCI number and also with the same file # as on the Sponsorship Approval. My wife is in Canada on a visit visa. She came to Canada (Regina, SK) on 30th of March 2015 as she got leave from Infosys for 90 days. She is planning to go back to India as her vacation would be done by June 22nd,2015. Not sure how long its going to take to get her PR approved, but we are going to miss each other very badly. Its been a year that we are married and we are not yet together forever. We also had plans to plan for kids, but waiting to get her PR done so that she can stay with me and I can spend every moment with her when she gets pregnant. Do you have any idea about approximately how long its taking for the files. I have checked the attached Excel files in the forums and have a quick question, how are those processing times calculated. File received coloumn, is it the date when CIC in Canada receieved the files or is it the date when NDVO in India got the files. Which month files are being processed currently ? I am not sure how its working, we went to Banff for a vacation during the long weekend and now she is planning to go back to India. Also heard from some of my friends that if the spouse is on a Visit Visa the processing time in India would be slow or the files are kept aside till they get back home (India), do you have any info on this situation ? Its costing us a lot of money for this visit and hope she gets her PR soon so that we can be together. Please advise and thanks so much for your help and advise. Now she has gone back to India on June 16th and waiting for the updates. My ECAS shows application received on december 02 2014 and no updates from then. I have also sent an online query for NDVO on their site to check if they have got the medicals, PCC and also Payment of $1040 which I did send along with the application in December 2014 to CIC Mississauga. No reply yet and not sure what to and how to and whom to contact for the updates. Most of my friends got medicals received as well on the ECAS but mine is just Application received. Any Advise would be greatly appreciated. Please advise.
