Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[SsJohn]

Hi all,
I'm a November 14th applicant and just received a notification asking me to "provide an RCMP police clearance certificate based on fingerprints." When I logged into my account and the document submission page of my application shows that "Replacement needed" for Fingerprints. But the "police certificate" shows "Replacement provided", I guess because I submitted the police certificate with fingerprints before. So not sure why they ask for the fingerprints again. Should I just book an appointment to do another fingerprints with police certificate? Does anybody else have the same issue? Thanks so much for the reply!

Hi John, I believe your RCMP police check based on fingerprints is something different than your police certificates. Your MyCIC account should show a new slot to provide placement for the RCMP fingerprint check one.

You need to print the letter and bring it with you to your local police station. They take your prints, a photo and then run a check. If you have no criminal history they will forward the results to IRCC within a week or so. The police officer told me that if you do have a criminal history, it might take up to three months to complete your check.

TLDR; Yes, you should book another appointment with the RCMP to get your prints taken, as this is another type of police check.

Sept 28 applicant here, my background check still in process, and it's been more than 3 weeks now, though when i used their Tele serve options, it says we don't need additionaldocument, no need for interview, we don't need your fingerprints, your eligibility hasn't been started.
Also as i follow these thread , wondering why almost have a PA and Sponsor side on ECAS? Mine is only for me. My husband doesnt know if he is eligible for he never received a correspondence, maybe because he didn't have email?
Congratulations to all

Log in on ECAS using the sponsor info to see both sides.

Thanks a lot for your reply! I used a private agency to take the fingerprints and the police check before so I called them and they told me that CIC requested the fingerprints again just because the previous one I submitted with my application files expired. It's only valid for 6 months and I submitted I think last November with my application. So I just did another police check with fingerprints right away. They said RCMP will send the police certificate to me within 10 business days so I could upload a scanned copy of it to the CIC system then. Hope this will solve the problem. Just in case others have the same problem....

Oh wow !!! i am Nov 16th Applicant. Fingers crossed.... Its coming guys

Hi @itsme123 what does ur application status says thru phone system just curious to know m November 20 . My status - we have not started viewing ur eligibility yet .

I don't believe in an extra year of processing at all even though I truly believe an agent from cic call center might say that.
When it gets transferred to a local office before AIP it is usually that they are not satisfied with something, like whether you are in a genuine relationship or whether you are actually cohabiting. It won't take a year for the local office to take action like requesting more documents or phone interview or call the couple for a real in person interview.
I'm following this forum for a few years now and I've never heard of a story of someone taking a whole year more because the file got transferred to a local office for further assessment. That shouldn't take long, few weeks more maybe but not even a few months more.
Those applications taking really longer time are usually because of security checks which is much harder to do with some countries and which does not depend only on Canadian authorities. Assessing a relationship or cohabitation is much easier and cannot justify months of delay.

Oh Marva I see u are just shy of 3 months from 2 yrs....oh Nooooo

This is so sad I just call C I.C office and got a real good representative to talk to I told him my file was transferred for further assessment he check and told me eligibility has been approved But PA on my side is still in process, and then he said they normally take 14 MONTHS when a file is transfer , so i ask if it was from August 2017 when my application started , he said 14 Months counting from the time it reaches the local office. And mine was transfer June 6 2018... Anyone has file transfer and got landing early??
