Hi everyone

Last Wednesday, May 31st, 2017, we received a request to send proof of co-habitation and I got a DM on the Sponsor side as well.

I logged in today in ECAS and in the Sponsor application as well there's a message saying "We sent you correspondence on June 2, 2017 about the decision on your application"

Do you guys have any idea what such correspondence may be about? I didn't get anything so far by mail or e-mail.

Principal Applicant still shows "Application Received". I guess they're waiting for processing the documents we sent last week before updating that right?

Thanks again

The correspondence is likely an approval letter. DM on sponsor side is SA. The application received on the PA side is correct -- they need the proofs to grant AIP. Many are seeing the same, and the PA side only transitions to DM after they completely finish processing and are ready for landing your partner..

You might want to watch your email or check junk mail. If you didn't get the message, then you might want to verify the email address they have. If they don't have an email address, it will be a physical letter being mailed out whenever..

It makes sense that if I was "rejected" as a Sponsor they would not send a request for additional information as our whole application would be done at that point right?

OK, hope now it's just a matter of few weeks and we can be good for the barbecue.

I edited the response. If they have email addresses for you and your partner, check spam, or double check they have the right address.

If you specified on your application forms that you wanted them to continue processing in the case that the sponsorship application was rejected, then they will continue processing. In that case, it would be a failed application, because a sponsorship requires a sponsor.

If you didn't specify the above, then you would not have received the letter requesting more proof -- it would have been a rejection letter, for no sponsor.

FWIW: I did receive the same line on the sponsor side of our ECAS account. But that showed up the morning after I got my SA letter...

Our representative is the one who gets all these e-mails. He gets in touch with us once he receives them.

Hi everyone,

This is my first time writing on the forum, however, I have been lurking around for months now reading everything that everyone post. I am happy to say that all information here has been very helpful to me.

I filed for spousal sponsorship in April 2017, CIC requested that I submit my police clearance from both my home country and Canada along with a completed Schedule A form which I sent two days later.

My questions are when will I hear back from CIC and what's my next step?

Please help, its driving me nuts not hear from them.

They changed how processing works in December. So, most of us in the 2016 inland thread are still in the old process. So you might want to ask that question here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/spousal-sponsorship-in-land-applications-2017-timeline-and-updates.468962/

Those folks might have a little more insight than what any of us could guess....

Best of luck!

If I was to guess? 40% maybe? Technically speaking, if the PA has AIP when they request it, near 100%...
Thanks Profiler, I was thinking because it's been more than a week since they updated my account (Mycic-GCkey) that i've passed the medical exam. Still No SA, AIP & DM.

It looks like there is movement in/around June 14 2016. So, my guess is, that is how they plan to drop the processing times for the later half of 2016. They would continue to process the ones before June 14 at the same rate. But I would hazard a guess to say that I think it explains the chaos WRT people announcing SA's, AIP's and DM's from later in 2016...
So it validates..!!
