Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[browning911]

Your sponsor can also try to reach out to their MP. That might get more results...

My MP has yet to return my e-mail. Once we get DM and landing I am going to see her.

Hello everyone,

I'm very excited to inform you all that my PR application was concluded today. I got an email invitation for a landing interview two weeks ago and it went pretty well today. Also, got my SIN number immediately after that...
I would like to sincerely thank everyone for all your useful tips, advice and suggestion which I think it has made this forum a worthwhile.

Here's the brief breakdown of the whole journey.:
Application submitted and received at Mississauga - April 14, 2016
First AOR received - May 13, 2016
Second AOR received - June 29, 2016
Received email requesting for PCC = August 10, 2016
Received email requesting for Medical = August 10, 2016
Application linked to GCKEY cic account = August 10, 2016
Visitor Visa extension received in mail = August 11, 2016
Medical test was done = August 17, 2016
OWP submitted and received at Vegreville - November 22, 2016
OWP application returned because of an omitted signature - February 22, 2017
OWP application re-submitted and received at Vegreville - March 7, 2017
OWP application returned second time and received in the mail - April 3, 2017. The reason given was that my application fees was refunded and it was not stated in the previous application and I was angry that I should have been notified in the previous returned mail.
I re-submitted it the second time, by making another payment and as well notifying them that I haven't gotten a refund as the time of submitting the application. The application was received at Vegreville - April 5, 2017
Later got a refund April 7, 2017 to the first payment.
Landing interview - May 10, 2017
Sponsorship Approval - May 12, 2017
Submitted a letter to withdraw OWP application - May 16, 2017
Application in Principle - May 17, 2017
Got an email that a decision had been made on my OWP and therefore I cannot get a refund. - May 3, 2017
Landed - May 25, 2017.
SIN - May 25, 2017
OWP - Though, I don't need it anymore but no where to be found.

Thanks to everyone once again and good luck to everyone on the waiting list....

Congratulations Ajebuter! Thanks for sharing. Happy for you.

That is very odd. Did you try a follow up or a call on the phone?

Sure you could. As long as you have a visa to get into either country, you can always leave. But coming back can be trouble. However, AIP or DM might make for an easier time crossing...

No, since we got AIP I just figured that we did not really need her to do anything but I just figured that the she would have the courtesy to return my two e-mails.

I know how you feel but we are almost done. Patience Grasshopper. I just think of Sylvain and I am okay. Plus OHIP will be active from 4 Aug 2017.

I bet it's office staff that let this slip through...

Yeah I think so too.

Just reminds me of the staff at the late Rob Ford's office. They were a mess.

Not even close. The vast majority of SA/AIP/DM's being issued are from March/April 2016 right now. You are looking at an average of 13.5mos.

I applied on 29 April 2016. Application status still shows as 'received'. Dunno what's happening with my file.

Currently working on application submitted 11 April 2016 and earlier, at least that is what the call center recording says. I called today. Almost there.

Well, someone today said the automated attendant said they are working in mid April...

Thank you everyone for your prompt replies! Perhaps, I might hear something in June'17.

Despite having lot of patience and faith, the uncertainty is killing. Perhaps it's just being human in fearing the unknown.

Erable_rouge, I can 100% say I know what you are feeling, That is what I was experiencing until hubby got AIP on May 4, 2017. It was such a relief. Then I got SA on May 15, 2017. I can tell you with no doubt that you and hubby and hubby and I will both get landing appointments soon.

Hang in there.
