I know exactly the feeling... Look at our timeline, it took 19.5 months to get some movements, people that applied 5-6 months after us were landing and we did not get SA, AIP, or DM. But then suddenly, we got SA and AIP within few minutes and DM the next day. So I know the frustration you can feel, but hang on there, your turn will come. It is such a good feeling when the news finally comes. We are still waiting for landing, but I don't mind waiting for that step and anyway that should happen within the next month.Page2016 said:Hi everyone, I’ve been creeping this forum for a while now to keep an eye on the progress of other 2016 inland spousal sponsorship applicants. So I know someone mentioned that you shouldn’t judge your progress against others, HOWEVER, we are starting to get a little (more) impatient seeing other people who applied after us receiving responses/ contact from CIC. But we maybe biting our nails for no reason!
So our application was received January 18, 2016.
AOR received July 13, 2016
OWP received August 15, 2016
And since then nothing… The ‘check my application’ link on the CIC webpage shows a status of ‘Application Received’ and when we click on that is says ‘Medical results received’, (husband did his meds upfront). It has been that way since September.
Would it be worth trying (tirelessly) to call them and speak to someone to make sure our application hasn’t been lost/ his medical- criminal checks have expired etc.? Or will they not tell us anything until the standard wait time of 26 months is up?
Any advice is totally appreciated thanks!
Medium rare is easy to cut and chew. It also maintains the flavour of the slab, and, for me, I get a massive jolt of energy after. If I am feeling very run down, that's how I fix it. And no, I don't have Aenemia...browning911 said:

Sage advice. Was trying to glean some kind of idea where the application might be in terms of stage (SA? AIP?) We passed AIP and we have "Application Received" on my wife's side of eCAS; yet they are basically done.sylvain1 said:
well... mine did tell me that we were yet under the 26 months... But at least he confirmed that nothing was missing in the application and he wanted to stay in touch to call CIC every month. So he called in January and February and we finally got news in March. I'm not sure that, in our case, the MP changed anything, but at least I could feel some support and know that nothing was missing.profiler said:
Yeah ours did that too. They did relay that message from the call centre once (first time), they commenced the monthly check-ins. Annoyed CIC, so they were asked to call every other month instead. I don't think it sped us up or slowed us down. But Sophie was able to get way more information than I could. I knew when Security and Criminality checks were completed, I also knew when I called about the medical, that we were done, and CIC wanted us to hurry to re-do meds, because they were ready for a decision. < 2 days after the doctor submitting the results, the meds were passed in CIC systems...sylvain1 said:

So I called CIC today and automated message was saying that they are processing applications received before March 21st 2016.
They received my application on March 21st 2016. So after a long waiting time I got connected to an agent and he was very "To the point" kind of person. Asked him few questions and he just told me general answers that I can find on CIC website. For example he is like application processing time is 26 months and that I think everyone knows that.
I asked him if he can tell that is my application missing any document that may cause delay? And put me on short hold and he is like you will be identified if there is. That too I know. That I will be the first one to be identified : @
My last question to him was how long it will take from now on? as you guys are processing application before March 21st? And I know all application are different but usually/in ideal conditions how long it will take from now on - And he is like 26 months is the processing time.
May be my question was really stupid but I should have at least get a better answer after waiting about an hour.
Now can anyone from this forum help me? My question is that is they are saying applications before 21st March are being processed, any idea how long it will take from here? And what should I be expecting? right now all I see is application received and medical received.
And please do not use Acronyms as I don't get them. Answers will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Well said. That is what I keep remembering when I get frustrated. I remember all the people who applied before me and are still waiting. Especially people who are waiting and they still have the patience and generosity to keep helping others, like Sylvain and Carol.sylvain1 said:
No no I do not think that I am about to get it yet. I hope I do but I can wait until Sylvain and Carol get theirs. Editted to add: Legolg. Then they better move out da way. ;Dprofiler said:
We have SA, AIP, and DM. We are just waiting to land. In the whole province of Quebec, there is only one office for landing (Montreal) and I think they are really overloaded with refugees. Ontario has what... 10 landing offices? So I can understand the 8 weeks processing time in Montreal.browning911 said:
Okay no your question is not stupid. What I do not get is why we have a call center when the general consensus is that the call center people do not know much of anything and to be careful about the advise they give you, which is why the the advice on this forum is do not trust the answers received by call center. I mean how can they hire peopleMFraz said:happy Friday everyone.
