***NOVEMBER 2019 INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP***

[huiqixie]

AIP and SA are towards the end of the PR application process, so yes, if you receive either one you're in the home stretch.

After AIP and SA, many people are contacted by IRCC via email confirming their location (inside or outside of Canada) and mailing address for PR card. If you get this, you should reply back to this email directly and immediately with the requested information. This email is in lieu of a formal landing appointment due to COVID.

Next is DM (Decision Made) and COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residency). DM comes first, and COPR within a few days, if not same day. COPR comes with a PDF letter; IRCC may ask you to print the letter and mail it and 2 new PR card photos back to IRCC. The printed letter can also be used for a permanent SIN and OHIP (if you are in Ontario and don't have it already).

I hope that helps!

Thanks so much! This really helps!
I'm a Nov 12 application. Hopefully I will receive my AS and AIP soon

I'm in a similar situation (late October applicant). I received SA but was also asked on the same day to submit additional documents to prove relationship and cohabitation. To answer your question, yes your application is delayed but probably NOT because of the method you used to submit your documents (ECAS vs. new section). The delay is caused by the time it takes IRCC to review and approve of your upload. I'm hoping the delay is no more than a business week or 2; I think I saw someone else respond that they were asked for additional docs on August 14, uploaded them on the 17th, and then received AIP on the 26th. Don't quote me on those dates, but the takeaway is that it took IRCC about 10 business days to review and approve their documents.

It’s almost going to a month since I submitted the requested documents , my Medical is done . Don’t have a SA also I called them today and they said they are doing my background check but I think they would notify if they started on the background check , received no notification. I guess will just have to wait and see what happens

Did you check your GC Key, does it say that your BGC has started? That's how I found out mine had, they didn't send me a notification.

Good luck and stay patient, I know it's hard!

All it says is we are processing your background check . We will need you a notification if we require more information.
it’s been the same since forever.

Mine says the same. I believe BCG takes a while because IRCC send it out to CBSA to complete.

I got my SA this morning. It also states my application processing is complete and someone from Etobicoke office will contact me . But background check hasn’t been completed yet ... so how is the processing complete ? I haven’t received AIP yet

Maybe the status of the BGC just hasn't been updated in GC Key?

Biometrics for PR purposes shouldn't have applied to November 2019 Inland applicants. The law requiring biometrics for PR applicants only went into effect for applications received by IRCC on December 3rd (?) 2019, or after.
