Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[shruti88]

I guess I will give them a call too and try my luck. Wishing both of us a reply with an invite for an interview VERY SOON. I have to drive in from Kelowna and would prefer it sooner than later with driving through the mountains.

Yes most certainly you will get it before the winter comes!!!
I check my email almost every half an hour these days hope the wait it is over for all of us soon!

@Danish1371 so we filled the webform, we should know something in about 10 business days.

I truly believe that we were sent to a relationship interview pile of applications, we'll just have to wait more.

This is a silly question, but does anyone know if my landing interview time is at 9am, can I go at 11am instead? how strict are IRCC about this time? I'm at the Kitchener office. My husband is having a hard time to make to the interview at 9..

I am sure that if they give you a set time and date you either respect that or reschedule it, unless you're office is one of those that are running a pilot program where you can go anytime after they give you a landing letter.

What @david_gat88 said, most definitely reschedule it. I wouldn't want to risk it bec I know it says in the letter that if you fail to appear on the given appointment, they would consider it as you're not interested in the PR.

 

[Danish1371]

Is it possible that DM on both sides of ECAS means a negative decision? We have not received any request for a relationship interview or something like that.

No if they had any questions or issues they would have contacted you before decision made.

I'm not sure what the answer is but I know ours was a group time ... and each hour had a new group.

 

[Danish1371]

For me, I got the letter, but online it still says in


LOL...maybe we can drive together...just kidding. My account is so weird as even though I received my email letters from CIC that they finished processing my file and Vancouver is to contact me for an interview, my account doesn't show those emails and everything still says that it's in process and not finished. How is yours? If I at least had an update there, I might feel a little better...LOL

Ours still says that and we've landed.

Thanks. My husband will try to reschedule his thing and make it on time. I’ve told rescheduling IRCC appointment can be quite long so don’t want to do that either

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp This is the link. Pretty straight forward. As far as I saw, you can type and ask anything regarding your application. Hope it works for you too.

October 25, 2018 Landing interview letter received and schedule for Nov 10, 2018

 

[vitoka]

My Passport is with CBSA from the beginning of the process and in the landing letter they are asking me to notify them if I don't have original passport prior to the interview. But I think they should know that already. Do I need to let them know that I don't have it?

I hope this helps anyone out there in the future. I got the heads up via email on October 19th that I should be expecting in the mail my interview time and date in London. Hope it comes fast! I'm ready to land!

My email simply said:

We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office in London IRCC will contact you to
arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application.

IMPORTANT: You and your family members, if any, will be required to present original
identification document(s) to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office at your
appointment. A final decision concerning the granting of permanent residence status will be
made at that time. If permanent residence is granted, the name that will appear on the
confirmation of permanent resident document is your name as it appears on your passport or
identity documents.


I think it's just a heads up that a landing interview appointment is coming, but I'm not sure since this is all new to me like it is to everyone else here.

Can you share your timeline between DM and landing letter? Also, what day is the interview? I’m in Kitchener as well and haven’t heard from the office yet... Thank you!
