Hey everyone Im slightly confused and looking for anyone to explain me what it means. My husband is sponsoring me for PR.
So when i logged into ECAS this morning i saw two colums. One said sponsorship application that said "in process" and had 3 lines/pointers when i opened it. The column next to it had the heading of permenant residence status that also said "in process" and had 2 lines/points in it when i clicked it.
The column next to my husbands name said "decision made"
Does it mean they are working on my application? If so by when can i expect the status to update again which im guessing will be a DM?

As per the forms , They'll send you an email for re-medical once they start working on your file. Basically after your medical expire in your case. But once they request for re-medial you will get decision made with in month or two.
One of my friend medical expired month ago, still didn't get any email for re-medical. But two of my friends received and email after one month of medical expired.

Thanks for your quick response. I am worried because i saw many Bangladeshi applicant got their visa between 5-6 months after they applied. Hope for getting re-medical and decision made soon.. in shaa allah.

It means likely your husband has SA (he should get an email with this info soon) and your part of the application has been sent to your VO (assuming you applied outland).

Now! meaning I don't have to work for 12 months in Canada before I can sponsor them? Wow! I have really been worried. 12 months before applying and then 17 months process time. My child would have forgotten me. lol.

But they can as well apply for visiting visa I think, or it might not be approved?

Nigeria. visa office is Accra Ghana.
No you don't have to work for 12 months. You can try for a visa, but unless your wife has strong ties to home, it's unlikely (ties as in a job, home etc). Check out the Ghana thread to see how long apps are averaging. It's unlikely to take 17 months if she does not require an interview: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/thread-for-acrra-ghana-applicants-t64640.5970.html

Hello everyone!

I am new in this forum.I need a lot of helpful information from those who underwent the same situation as I am having right now regarding our PR applctn for family sponsorship by my husband.

We are Filipinos, and currently my husband is a PR and in Canada while I am holding a working visa here at Singapore.

FEBRUARY 2016 Updates:
Our applctn was rcvd DEC 5 2015, ECAS states on my husband sponsorship status "In process" while on PR status "application recvd" and while I opened the PR status there are liners saying:
1. started processing applctn on Jan 28, 2016
2. medical received

Any advice of what to expect next for these liners? Any POSITIVE HOPE we could dwell into :)

Sincerely,
Angel from Singapore

Family members

Your family members include your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children and any children that are their dependent children.

Assuming your spouse in sponsoring you, you do not include your parents on the form.

Hello all..
I have question related to --> "Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344)"
Section --> Sponsor Eligibility Assessment
Question --> 6. Have you submitted a previous application in respect of which a final decision has not been made for the person being sponsored and their family members -- Yes/No

- In Jan 2016 I submitted sponsorship application for my parents and sponsorship decision is pending.
- I got married in Feb 2016 and want to sponsor my spouse.

should I put Yes or No to this question 6 ???

My understanding from this question is that its asking if i have submitted any other application for "the person being sponsored"(my spouse?)

additionally, application guide says:
If you answer “Yes” to any question between 5 and 15
-You are not eligible to be a sponsor. You should not submit an application.
-If you are sponsoring a parent or grandparent, this does not apply to you.

Its bit confusing to me as i am sponsoring my spouse now where as i already submitted application for my parents earlier...

I would go with No, because you haven't sent in an another application to sponsor your spouse or THEIR family members that hasn't been processed yet. Parents sponsorship is different. A person can't send in 2 applications for the same thing at the same time. i think that's what it's referencing, not if you have another sponsorship app for another family member.

The answer is "Yes". When the question states "the person being sponsored", they are referring to the person sponsored in the PREVIOUS application, which would be your parents.

Answering "No" would be misrepresentation.

The answer is no.. If I understand u correctly,u submitted an application to sponsor ur parents . That has nothing to do with ur spouse. It is ur spouse u want to sponsor and not ur spouse family member.

That is d official length of the marriage.
