Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[carolbb23]

I am sponsoring my husband, inland spousal sponsorship and we applied on Dec 8,2015 and started processing on January 14,2016. We are using an immigration lawyer been doing everything to make a story short we got pcc request in June 22,2016 and our ecase been modified on September 25,2016. I am curious are we in the SIR program and one more thing I guess I am approve as s sponsor because in June 22016 they asked for pcc our layer is like everything going good

Should I at all be worried that my husbands application still says "application received" when I check its status online? We applied July 20th 2016. :-\

Thank you! I just try and hope for the best and pray too. I don't check the status very often, maybe once a month or so.
I should have avoided checking the wait times for Outland applications as well (10mths for my home country) ....so as you can imagine I'm a little annoyed that time keeps going down and inland just sits there.

hey,
So I am going to be sponsoring my spouse end of this month, most likely submit an application in November. He had applied for OINP back in February and has been working for the past 3 years. His work permit expired in June 2016 but he had implied status until September when his extension for the work permit got denied. His status is now visitor (his visitor visa is currently pending). My question is that when we apply for the in-land sponsorship and OWP, after he gets his visitor status, will he get implied status to work? or will he have to wait until he gets the OWP?

@Guyanagirl me to i used to look twice,a day now it's once a day. we are doing inland so my husband lawyer was like do not drive your self crazy let me do my job. They do not understand it you past present and future justhe hang in when they ask for pcc it's a good thing. as long in ecase it says in process in all 5 categories line 2 says in proccessence and line 3 says medical results received it is all good in 5 catorgories

My wife as well. We feel your pain.

My wife saw my analysis, told me I was crazy (with a big smile on her face), and told me she won't believe me until she has her COPR in hand.

So I am used to having to explain .

As I tell others, take it with a grain. I really hate to be wrong...so I wasn't going to mention it, but I need everyone to help prove it by reporting if/when they land..

Thank you, and don't worry, we're all pretty crazy to start this. It could be worse though, Canada does not have the longest processing times for this or for citizenship so it will be OK. (And who doesn't hate to be wrong?) Cheers!

Nope. My wife's says the same and they received March 2.

It's hard to say. While it's possible, it sounds like you might still be processed in the conventional way. Did you try to order GCMS notes? That will tell you for sure..

If I am right....big if... but if I am, our app should ne approved by december. Meaning we took 10mos, and she got to work for 6 of it...

Are you sure he can work under implied status? I thought implied simply meant he didn't have to leave...

EDIT: I was not correct in my assumption. This is what CIC says about work permits and implied status:
If a temporary resident applies for renewal of their work or study permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, paragraph 186(u) and section 189 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (the right to continue working or studying under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal) apply only as long as the person remains in Canada.

My wife's was done 10-30-2015. They only accepted it as passed a few days ago...

I think they have worked out a new process that they used during the Syrian Refugee processing that they have applied here. They are using scatter method to complete the processing of applications. I believe the CPC-V already completed admissibility and security (for those in the aug 10 swoth I think they are working on finalising us now). CPC-M is also utilising agents in Canadian VO's who have time to churn through applications.

The new statistics are out for CIC. See: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/ad975a26-df23-456a-8ada-756191a23695

Last quarter they closed 14,610 spousal applications! The quarter before was 11,203.

Thats good. Thanks Profiler!!

However, that implied status in this case has already come and gone.
The spouse's implied status as a worker expired once the application for the work permit was denied (i.e. a decision was made). They will have to wait until they receive the OWP before they can work again.

Right. I was more focused on the time between application to extend and denial.. my bad. Shoulda been clearer.
