Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[sweet_mahsa]

Did you apply for health care? BG checks can take 3-6 months usually. They will usually start them earlier in the process. The number of countries visited, movements in history, etc can cause delays. Also, they can be delayed if they found someone with a similar name. Lastly, they have been slowed down lately because of the number of asylum seekers and refugees entering Canada (they require immediate review, before release -- if my information is correct).

Oh Yea we applied for healthcare, it became active on the 30th! Woohoo... but that's the thing it was pretty basic, his home country and then Canada, he visited the states for a week on a vacation. I'm thinking maybe it has to do with his refugee case, and they are going over the notes from the proceeding? We did drop the Refugee claim once he got AIP.

But I still not receive any AIP or SA...

What does ECAS say? Log in with the Sponsor's details.

Yes, that will complicate it, and will cause delay.

Hi everyone

I have a question, I am getting married in December I have Permanent residence status in Canada and my wife is in india what is the quickest way she can come over to Canada. Can she apply for visitor visa or do we have to apply for permanent residence and wait for that?

What are the chances of getting visitor visa after marriage or before marriage?

Where I can find out about the details for the file for permanent residence for spouse?

Its still showing "in process" and applicant's side is "application received"

Assigning a secondary office is one thing, sending the file to that location, is another.

If they sent the file to CIC-Etobicoke, and there has not been an SA, is there something in the Sponsor's background that might be holding that approval up? (Previous claims of Social Assistance (OW, or Ontario Works, in Ontario), Previous criminal convictions, etc) SA is pretty simple to do. 'Usually' they can finish that extremely quickly (as the Sponsor is known to the government).

Apply for a visitor visa before marriage. After marriage, it will be very difficult to get approval. Also, your fiancee should have some travel history before applying -- as they have been known to reject visitor visas with no travel history.

Here is the information about sponsorship: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp

I think my husband's background is not complicate, he became citizen before he reached age 18 and only did a few times traveled outside Canada.
The most recent note they added on GCMS is on Aug 9 2017 which is under "ASSOCIATION - GROUP " and the status on that is "CLOSED"

Well, to be fair, I can only offer opinion on what I am told. So, those are things that can cause delay. Without actually seeing the notes, I cannot comment further. It is common to have a second office assigned (outland, they are assigned because the file is sent overseas; inland they are assigned for either landing or relationship/QA review and/or interview(s)).

May 30,2017: Sponsor approval
July 12,2017: Medical Request

She is now 11 weeks pregnant. She became pregnant after the medicals and AIP. Do i have to let CIC know about the pregnancy? Did not find anywhere in the AIP mentioning to inform them if wife gets pregnant.

Thanks for your help

Pregnancy, no. But if she gives birth before getting PR, yes.
