We are waiting more than 16 months, and still waiting...

Honestly Beth, I don’t know how you are so patient. It’s been 13 months for us... and I’m slowly losing my patience. The wait time is rediculous.
 
Hi everyone!
Same story as all of you, getting more anxious as the weeks pass. We have been waiting for 11 months now and I was starting to be worried since I see other applicants in my same month getting their DM.
Reading this threat, I get the feeling that some people have been waiting for a long long time. To get a more clear idea of the current situation, and to help those that come after, we could try to keep updated the spreadsheet for the Paris office with as many applications as we can.
Paris Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoVYm58QfCK9dExOc3dvWHR5eGFkT0hycFVkc1VlaWc&usp=sharing

To all of you that are also in the long wait, stay strong and positive. Things will happen eventually, but until then we have to enjoy the current moment wherever we are waiting for the good news. Have a fantastic week everybody!

Hi Dina,

I hope you are doing well. We just got a request for police clearance and to redo the medical exam. We just submitted everything and now we wait.

Here is our timeline:
- Application submitted - August 2016
- Approved as Sponsor - September 2016
- Background check started - February 2017
- Request for more documents - Jan/Feb 2017
- Request for medical/police clearance - April 2018

I don't believe it takes a lot more time after they review the requested medical and police clearance, but let's see. Good luck to everyone else. :)

Hello,

I am a newbie on this forum and I am simply putting my feelers out towards others in my situation. I am Canadian citizen and I am sponsoring my husband, who is Algerian and lives in Algeria. CIC in Mississauga received my application on May 1st, 2018, it has been 10 days and I have not heard anything from CIC yet. My question is, at what point of time should I have cause for concern that it is taking too long for them to get in touch with me, for the "first" time and how do they normally get in touch with sponsors? I gave them my personal email and obviously my residential address, because this information is necessary to apply in the first place. How are sponsors normally contacted to say they have been accepted as a sponsor and given a case number?

Thanking anyone in advance for their feedback, as it is much appreciated. The year long anticipated process has just begun. :)

Hello,

I hope you do not mind me asking, but from your experience and your current status in the immigration process, thus far, do you find the Paris VO office efficient in their processing time line? I just started the process and my application reached the Mississauga CIC on May 1st, 2018. I am extremely new to this forum and I am trying to create a support system during this process. I have read that it is taking a year to process an application for an Algerian spouses.

Do you find this to be generally true, or are you like me, pretty new to this? :)

Thank you,

Lisa
