Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[profiler]

with portugese passport is made in lisbon and they use DHL to send it to Canada instead of mail and we picked it up at the embasdy

But in the western world (North America and Western Europe), that's literally down the road. Like, no time to get to North America -- could be here on a plane in what? 5 hours?

But I am glad he isn't trapped anymore!

Hi all,
i really need some helps here. I already have DM, and my application has been transferred to Halifax IRCC
my application was received on Dec 31,2015
my DM was on March 10, and i received the email notifying me to wait for landing interview on March 10 as well.
Its been two months and a half, i still didn't hear anything back yet.
I called call center twice, one was two weeks ago, and the other was today. Both agents asked me to wait longer.

does anyone know how much longer i have to wait ?

I will move to Ontario by the end of June, if i don't receive the appointment letter by then, after I update new address,
will my application automatically transfer to Ontario office? Will I have to wait another two months?

If i don't want to transfer, can i put my friend's address (in Halifax) as my address?


Please Help!!!

Reach out to your local MP's office. When cases seem to get "lost" like this, that seems to be the easiest way to get it moving again...

I made that suggestion to GuyanaGirl, who (once she got a rep at the MP's office that was eager to help) was able to get a landing in short order...

If nothing else, the MP's office can sort out what's going on...

Oh, I have no idea... few weeks ago now... Here is how you find your local MP: https://lop.parl.ca/ParlInfo/Compilations/HouseofCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC

And yes, MP - Member of Parliament.

thanks cause the guy at the embassy said you could done it earlier

Yeah about 5 minutes. We got there when there was 2 others waiting (15 minutes before our 9am appointment). One (poor lady!) had forgot to read that she must pay RPRF before trying to land! So, in the lobby, she was trying to pay it on her phone!

Others showed up just after us, so the agent had to keep asking for passports. 10 couples in all showed up while we were there waiting. We were out and walking away about 8:55am.

Questions vary, but are usually:
- Have you committed a criminal offence in Canada (or anywhere)
- Have you ever been denied entry into Canada (or anywhere)
- Do you have any dependents you have not disclosed

They are not intended to be a test. It's stuff you, and they, already know. They are only validating what they have found. So, just tell them the truth, and land!

I also find it interesting that people will let their status lapse, then freak out when it comes to landing (because they have slipped into "Out-of-status" territory). Do they not think that, CIC of all organizations can't find that out or don't already know?? It's on their computer screens when they go to print out your COPR! If they invite you to an interview, and you have a DM, you are going to land. SO, relax. It's totally the worst movie ever -- there is no climax to the story. They even do it in the lobby, where everyone can hear!

Congrats @Maina4576

Haha a relief to hear that. Speaking from a "out of status" application! YIKES! Good news though.. they're currently at APRIL 11 2016!

@Ajebuter congratulations on your landing!

 

[dlre]

I'm surfacing temporarily from work...need...to...breathe...

Anyway congrats to anyone who got good news since I was last here lol

As for me, we're still waiting on that passport ....

 

[dlre]

That's a scary preposition...

Profiler == Jon Snow. Ask his wife!

Not much about US... I refuse to immigrate there. I'd prefer to be broke then head there... Nice people, but socialized medicine FTW.

What's the question?

Sorry, was buried in work for the while lol. Friend got the info she needed.

I'm tempted to believe that you work at CIC *despite* you saying you're not

Heh.. as funny as it sounds, no I can't claim that. I work in the software industry as an engineer/developer who is part of a team that governments and super-governments (NATO/EU) buy intel information from... Commercial companies too.

I happen to know how process works, and I spent a lot of time reading the published CIC operations manuals.

True story..

So why no PPR yet??

 

[browning911]

Finally i got my landing interview in 2 weeks in Edmonton.
i am February 2016 like Profiler no DM received but my ecas shows it.
I was wondering if i can travel after my landing before receiving my PR card.

Congratulations Peaceman!! You must be so happy.
