Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[Momo0630]

Browning911 is in the same position (well, not 3 months ago). She did me a favour and called the call centre to verify a strong assumption I had. It's a delay in the processing of Security checks. Sit tight, they will be done soon enough!

I contacted my Mp, she said she's gonna call them and get back to me

Finally within 13 mnths i got my landing appointment call, so can you please tell me what questions they will be asking you? Is it gonna be a long or just a short interview?

I think I would call and ask that one. I personally have not seen it, but that isn't saying much, because the only kid we have is mine and he was born Canadian in Canada. If you call them, they can verify if they have sent a medical request for that dependent...

thanks profiler as always.. i kinda debated between calling or waiting but i just wanted to bounce off my thoughts with someone first.. thank you!

Congratulations! It will be a very short interview that is not a test. Have you committed crime in Canada or anywhere else in the world? Do you have any dependents that are not listed on your application? To the sponsor, do you still agree to sponsor and have an undertaking engagement of 36 months starting today? So don't worry about the interview, you are done, it's time for you to plan celebrations!

In your case, yes I think the MP can help you out.

Unfortunately, as of late, I think they are just trying desperately to churn through as many cases as they can. In that haste, they may overlook the "low hanging fruit" -- cases that only need a few minutes to review and approve. Additionally, it can be eMedical themselves, as they are not affiliated with CIC, and does work with other governments to provide front-line approvals on medicals as like a "second set of eyes" on the details submitted by the physician.

An MP can make a call on "the MP line" (that's an actual thing if you order your case notes, you might see it), and it might provoke a change. One such instance I recall was a DM local to me, who was waiting forever for an office that, two weeks to a month earlier had given us a landing appointment within 2 hours of ECAS saying DM. Once the MP's office actually became engaged and called, there was no reply but a landing appointment came that morning.

I really do wonder if CIC is planning a torrent of approvals before Canada Day... Considering Trump + how dreamy Justin is touting praise for CIC... it would be like the ultimate troll...

Bumping this, as I truly hope this is a thing. This would be an epic thing.

#HopingForGoodNewsForAllThisCanadaDay !

Can take 4 months.... that's the best guess I have for you, unfortunately.

Can I apply for OHIP and JOB when I receive my AIP?

Can I apply for OHIP and JOB when I receive my AIP?

Yes. If you do get your OWP before AIP, your employer can sign a letter that will permit you to get OHIP as well.

I got a landing interview date! - not even a month after SA and AIP. - our app was received in May of 2016, medical requested in March.

DATE: 10/07/2017 - Etobicoke

Since I got this message today I assume 10/07 is October 7 not July 10.

You must be wrong, American friend. I don't remember Canadian government using American date standard.

Congrats! Awesome!

99% chance this is for July 10th... October 7th is a Saturday... And landings are usually no more than 2 weeks away (typically).

Thanks for chirpin me and for clarifying! I just assumed it would happen later rather than sooner.
