Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[profiler]

Traditional meaning...will i go straight to 26months?
Am scared straight now profiler!!!!!!

Meaning not bypassing huge swaths of the process, like SA, AIP and going straight to landing.... that's what they are doing now (since September).

If your native language is not english or french, you have to submit 2 IMM 5406's -- one in english, and the same in your native.

what about OWP ? which forms should I use and how much to pay?
can someone confirm the total amount that should be paid for sponsorship of one adult and one under 16?

Yeah I am a machine...

I am not certain if you are or not. As I tell everyone, no expert here. I am a software nerd by profession, so anything I say here should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, my business is about patterns. June 17 and August 10 were two dates for sure connected to PCC requests. There was waves of people reporting (complaining) about PCC's that should still be good. It turns out that was a signal that you might be in SIR. Everyone who got one of those requests that has GCMS notes after the date on the email they got confirmed they are SIR. You can read about it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2016/ob624.asp .

That said, AIP to the finish line isn't very long. So you might beat my wife to landing too... I am not sure how she will take the news that soo many are before her!

Yeah, try not to worry too much, unless they ask you for something that you cannot produce...that's when you should worry. Otherwise, plan your landing party.

For ours, I thought perhaps BBQ with some of our CIC friends ... my wife had other plans. Apparently neither of us will be driving home and it might involve loud music and well.. you get the idea...

 

[pedropil]

You bet, buddy. Chin up, and don't worry. This is all a cruel game to them -- to keep everyone waiting and guessing. It plays on your mind. Best thing to do? IMHO don't let them win.

Besides, you have a landing party to plan now!

youre the best man! looking forward on that party

Hey pedropil, gang;

I was looking at the spreadsheet today. From what information is available (I will be the first to suggest it's not totally accurate or complete) it appears that within 4 months of the PCC and/or Medical request being issued is when people are landing.

In our case, they requested the PCC on August 10, and they accepted the Medical (which would expire on Oct 30) last week.

From what I recall reading (I am a pretty old fart now, so my brain may not be as good as it used to be) Medical and PCC cannot expire before they issue COPR. Now, I am not suggesting at all that CIC is operating by any kind of norms at this time, as we all know they are churning through inland cases at a reasonably fast pace. HOWEVER they stated they are trying to pay attention to Medicals and PCC's expiring to help reduce cost for applicants. Along that vein, if you look at the cases where a PCC request was made on or after June 13, there is empirical evidence showing the COPR and Landing was issued within 4 months of that day.

With this in mind, I would be interested to see who/when people land to see if that is at all correct, or if my crystal ball needs more tweaking...

Hi Profiler,

How did you get to know that your Medical has been passed?

 

[RV23]

And I really want to thank everyone on this forum for their insights especially Profiler, it is really helpful when we get hopeless that nothing is happening , just reading all the information shared by your guys , gives us so much hope !!

One more question, are the medicals generally done before the PCC or after it ?

You were part of the mass mail that went out on June 17 for people who are part of the SIR . The note you pasted above proves it. I would be keen to know if you land before Nov 17.

To add yourself to the spreadsheet, there is a tab on the left: "New Entry and Update". Just add your details there

Hi Profiler,

How did you get to know that your Medical has been passed?

myCIC will tell you. Just log in and look at your case. In our case, my wife got an email to tell her there was an update -- like magic, the Medicals went from not submitted to Passed.

One more question, are the medicals generally done before the PCC or after it ?

Aww shucks. The truth is, I want to be able to educate my wife as to what to expect, and when things might be required. I don't really do anymore than everyone else.

The medicals have a 1 year shelf-life. Once that year is up, they either have to request you redo them, do a partial (usually chest x-ray), or extend. If you are in the SIR, they will also try to process your case with Medicals and with Passport expiration dates in mind. For those watching, ours were done October 30 2015, and submitted with our application.
