For straight forward applications it's more like 3-6 months lately. However, now that it's come to light you've had multiple issues with your application it doesn't surprise me that your application has taken this long. Did you end up being able to get a medical for the child? Unless this is resolved in some way that application will likely not receive a decision for quite a while.Siempreamor said:i thought timeframe for Outland applications is 17 months. That's what CIC website states.

Newbie here. I submitted my application on Sept. 2015... here's my timeline
Sept.17,2015 - Received application (sponsor & permanent residence) ; Medical result of my husband was received during this time also.
Nov. 05, 2015 - Started processing (sponsor)
Nov.27,2015 - application approved (sponsor)
Dec.08,2015 - They started my husbands application in Manila
And up to this time, I haven't heard anything from immigration... Does anybody here have the same situation as I have? your response will be much appreciated. thank you very much...
I presume your spouse has a status in Canada. Hence you can submit your application under the in-Canada category. Please refer to the following link.ankrish said:Hi! I just got Married last March and I am back now here in Toronto. I would like to start the process to sponsor my husband. Can anybody tell me how did you started your application? And what are the requirements? Thank you!

People in Canada without legal status are still submitting Inland applications, but they do not qualify for the OWP until they reach AIP stage (which is ~ 17 months). If the OP's spouse is in Canada (with status) and desires to work ASAP, then Inland route with OWP is worth considering. If the objective is to complete the entire process ASAP (without the OWP), then an Outland application may be a better choice, depending on where the spouse is from, as processing times still vary between visa offices.erable_rouge said:I presume your spouse has a status in Canada.

Also, he may choose to send an application for an OWP (Open Work Permit).
