Hi Eagle, my sponsorship application was submittedJune 2015 and started processing at KVO since October 2015. Documents were requested and received in December and I haven't heard anything from cic since.

I'm deeply depressed as I don't know what stage I am. Please give me your most favourable response. Thank you.
Your file is in stage 2. It is in process that is why they requested additional documents. Any decision they take following the receipt of those additional documents your $475 will not be refunded because they worked on your file. So rest assured that your file right now at this very moment is in process.

Hi Eagle333,

Our application was forwarded to VO in São Paulo on March 30 2016. When we submitted our application to Mississauga we submitted everything except our FBI history summary report. We just received our summary report and wish to have it attached to our file. We have had no communication up to now from São Paulo VO -not even a request to submit FBI report - anyway, should we send the original to São Paulo or can we just scan and email it thri the São Paulo -CIC web tool?

Thanks in advance for any input you may have,
John (Toronto)

Hello Jaytheo40,

Don't wait for them to request that FBI Report, you are just shooting yourself in the foot meaning more time consuming for your application to be processed. You cannot send a copy of that document but it has to be the original one. To send to them an email is useless because this document needs to go as original full stop. Send it now so that the Sao Paulo visa office can contact CSIS to initiate Criminality assessment.

5. Remember there is also a queue for files that are waiting for review, if your file is in that queue you cannot help it. This is exactly your situation where it says file ready for review which means it is in the interview queue.

Sorry if I repeated myself but all I wanted is to make sure you understand a little bit.
This makes sense. We will just have to wait and see. All I know for now is that there's due date on my eligibility section which is July and It's assigned to an
officer. I hope to see some positive news very soon.

Again Thank you so much Eagle333 . We couldn't thank you enough.

Hello Jimmy64,

Since I reviewed your GCMS I believe 2 months ago I have not communicated with you. I admire your patience and courage, all you need to do is wait couple of weeks then you will fly for sure like an eagle lol. After this process you will be a different men. I cannot wait to hear that you got your visa in your passport.

I believe your parents' file is in stage 2 but RECEIVED. It is not yet in process unfortunately because parent's application take a bit more time than spousal application & children.

Stay strong someday you will see the victory.

Hi Eagle,

Thanks For such a nice post, clears things up.

I was hoping you can help me out, since you get to see a lot of average timings from different applicants.

I recently did a MP enquiry-
I found out Eligibility is passed and finalized on April 20,2016
Meds are valid till June 4,
Background verifications are in process .

Any Idea when can I expect anything. I have also requested for notes which i should recieve by the end of the month. Any clue how long background checks take and if I might be receiving another medical request.

Any info will be greatly appreciated . thanks in advance.

Hi Eagle,

Thank you for posting such helping info for everyone. I have some question here and hopefully you can give your thoughts on this. I submit the spouse application for my wife on March, 2016 and ECAS was available to check on April, 2016. However, there are two separate status updates, one is sponsorship application status "In Process", the other one is permanent resident application status "Application Received". I am wondering are they mean the same thing? Is there a time line that we could expect it? Thanks in advance.

Ps: My wife and I were both international student, and she is expected to graduate at the end of this year.

Hello Amina,

One thing will happen in your case after BGC is completed, either CIC will send your re-medical request after June 4th is past or they might extend your medical to their discretion. Then Visa will be issue.

Good Day rotary1011,

Yes the two status are totally different.
1. The sponsorship is in process
2. The permanent residence is received by CIC but not in process yet until sponsor is approved.

As long as you are a PR you can sponsor the spouse of your choice it does not matter.
