[rhcohen2014]

how about you read the entire thread, starting from the first post from this person, instead of asking her to repeat it again? all this information has already been provided. if you want to know the person's details, then it's suggested you do the reading on this thread to learn or read past posts from this person. this person has enough going on without needing to repeat over and over again every detail when they've already SHARED the information!

Do they assess the relationship at all during the first stage? Or is it just to see that the sponsor is eligible?

Maybe there could be someone with the same name in Canada that has a criminal record or social assistance? I don't know I'm totally making those up, it's just that your case seems to be so straight forward I don't get it. Good luck though, I can't help you other than wish that you receive your SA soon!!

for outland, stage 1 is checking eligibility of the sponsor and confirming the application is complete. it is very strange, and there seems to be a handful of applicants with this problem. i will just add them to my prayers so that they get it figured out. i can not imagine going through this, as waiting for SA was the WORST part of the process for me, and my family probably almost commited me to a mental institution!

Exactly, our case is VERY straight forward. We really have no clue what's going on. Especially when the MP called them and asked what's holding back the file that long, they replied "Nothing, we will still process"

Please keep us in your prayers.

He got his citizenship through the normal process in 2012 (he was already legally living and working in Canada with a PR). We got married in Egypt in Dec 2013. We sent our application in March 2014. It was received by CIC on March 25 and they informed us that the application is complete.
And still processing until the moment -August 2014, it will be 5 months of processing on 25 August, while the website says 56 days....

are you in relationship before marriage? if so how long?

If you are in relationship for more than a year before marriage will also delay the process and other reason might be his financial situation. apart from this these two reason i dont see any reason for delay. Unless there is some particular information which you did not provide here or on application and VO figured out from their records.

Dear ytweety,

I have the same case as yours.
My application is Outland, I am Indian currently in India and trying to join my Canadian wife in Canada.

Can anyone advise on what could be the reasons behind an unexplained 4+ months of delay in the decision for Step 1; sponsor's assessment? On site its clearly written that step 1 takes 56 days !!

The only status we have got is that application received on april 22nd. Not a single updated afterwards. . in june 2014 We involved my wife's MP who also got the reply "The application is complete but still processing and we are still evaluating the case"Few days back on 8,5,2014 MP got same reply application is under processing.

It's the 4th month now with no update, What are you upto ,ytweety!! ......................................Please let me know..thank you.

If Anyone knows a reason that might be causing a delay anything we can do?
it seems pretty abnormal to exceed 4 months with no update for step 1!

Please help

information about the relationship isn't viewed during the sponsorship eligibility stage for outland processing. CIC focuses on the sponsor's application and only checks the completeness of the applicant's application. How long they were married has no bearing on whether the sponsor is eligble to be a sponsor. Deciding on the validity of the relationship happens AFTER sponsorship approval when the file is transferred to the visa office, not before. This poster has yet to get through the sponsor eligiblity phase.

That is an absurd amount of time, especially since they said you had a complete application already.
I would be calling them everyday hounding them. Are you sure they have your file and haven't lost it?

Or is it possible that Cic Mississauga is helping to process the 2nd part of the application from the Egypt office?

The file isn't transferred to The VO in Egypt yet.

His financial status is very good and he never had any financial problems, never been on social assistances or welfare.

He never married before, never had kids, never sponsored anyone before, he has clear criminal record.

We have been engaged for almost a year before marriage.

I am not hiding any information, I am seeking any advise/help through this forum because there is no issue in our case as we, our consultant and the MP sees it.

When my husband's MP called CIC, they said the file is complete and they are still processing, when the MP asked on what is the reason that's holding back the application from getting a decision for stage 1 (sponsor's approval) the CIC replied; Nothing, there is no reason, we are still processing.

I created this thread to see if anybody faced a similar timeline for stage 1, but it seems we are a weird, exceptional case and we don't even know why...

Ytweety

I think only both of us have same problem .I have no clue why it takes 5 months for step 1 .Please keep posting your case if you have any further progress . My wife called them and they say there are so many requests in this time. File is complete and in a Que. I don't know why it takes 5 months !!worst part is waiting for the mail !!

Just a thought.. Would it be possible that the VO who looked into your file thought that your application is an inland rather than outland application? I have read a few posts saying that their application was mistaken for an inland one. Maybe you would want to look at that and confirm with them coz the initial assessment of inland is 12 months. Wouldn't want you to wait that long.. Just a possibility you may want to look into...

Good point, can you please share with me the posts you found about this inland mistake, I would like to know how can we check that ours went to outland queue, because no one would tell us.

 

[rhcohen2014]

it turns out mississauga is now starting to process some outland applications for certain visa offices. specifically sydney and paris applicants are being notified of their applications staying there for processing. applicants have been told this is because of "relief of workflow", and the visa will still be issued from the overseas visa office. apparently mississauga is now processing the relationship validity portion of certain applications deemed "not complicated"- whatever that means.

so there is a chance your application can be one of those as well...

i would suggest scanning the may and june applicant threads to see info about this. my guess this is where you will see posts about mistakes being made too.
