Hi... Let her check her ecas status for update from time to time kasi Hindi na nageemail ang cem once they receive na the passport.
Thanks healer!

Hello, Me and my wife submitted an application which was received on Nov.4,2014. Application for permanent residency so my wife can join me in canada. My application to sponsor her was passed and processed quite quickly. But since then she went for an interview or some class to teach her life in canada or rights or somesort.

I am quite concerned as I read other peoples timelines online in these forums and people with similar timelines have already been processed and received visas already.

I was so obsessed with sending a full and complete application, medical passport everything was done to a great standard, I am just unsure what to expect next. seems theres little way to contact these offices unless it exceeds the 17 month wait stated on cic website.

Im just very concerned as what im reading others have been processed already with similar timelines.


Others with similar circumstances please let me know your timelines, its very worrisome, or any advice id much appreciate

We to are Nov. 4, 2014 Applicants, ecas still shows Application Received and Medical has been received. We were sent an Appendix A WITHOUT PPR May 13 from CEM. With the Appendix A, was a request for photos of my Wife's non accompanying daughter, and a NSO copy of our AOM, These were signed for by the CEM May 20. Up to now, not a peep from them.

I sent my appendix A, and our COM with our original application, it was 100% complete. So if that is any assurance these documents are not is what delaying these NOV 4, 2014 applications. There is definitely a delay with this batch that was received for whatever reason. Hardly acceptable these are not prioritized in order they are received. Regardless its reassuring to hear from somebody in the same boat as myself.

I have sent out a plethora of emails today, hoping this puts a push on these applications for us..

Our package was received in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada on Oct.16/14. I spent over a year preparing the package to make it absolutely bulletproof. Photo's, certificates, memento's....everything was included so as to avoid any delay.

I was approved for Sponsorship in late November 2014. In January 2015 we received notification that our file was received in Manila. On March 3/15 we received a Passport Request and Appendix A request.

As of that date we have not heard a thing. The website to check shows absolutely nothing since November 2014! Finally in May 2014 I emailed our MP and they confirmed for me that the passport was received along with the appendix A and that it was being processed.

Now here we are into July 2014 and still nothing! This, despite seeing several others from the same timeline and even a few several months after us getting their passports!

The system is obviously slow as molasses and the order in which these passports is being processed is certainly far from fair....We must all remain steadfast in our resolve to get past all obstacles and look forward to an amazing future with our spouses.

I hope too that all who have been held up while awaiting their spouses arrival will voice their concerns to Immigration Canada once they have safely arrived. There are so many people on here waiting so desperately for any information that would at least make them feel the process is moving along.....We should all band together afterwards and demand changes to make this process less painful for the others that are to come.

Hi ajaxdragon :) Spouses of Inland spousal sponsorship made noise/petition about the backlogs of their applications in cic last year, now it has been addressed and the process is moving fast like it doesnt even take a year to get their decision whilst before it takes 27 months.

Hi Holy_Aljhane!
Siguro nga nagkataon Lang na mas naunang naapproved SA nila. Medyo bothering Lang talaga na wala man Lang kami idea about sa kung bakit nga kaya wala pa din feedback from CIC. But we're praying and hoping na soon eh magiging okay din naman. Mahirap Lang talagang mawalay sa asawa natin.
Thanks for the response!
God is Good, we know in time magiging okay din!
God Bless sis! ☝


Yes sis. Keep praying lang, a good God is still in charge don't worry. Yup, mahirap tlga LDR pero we're almost there so kapit lang. :)

Thanks sis! Good luck and God Bless to all of us!!! ☝

I guess the timelines have improved but still...the frustration of not hearing anything...
seeing others from the same timeline and even afterwards getting their visa's while we have nothing..
Oh well hope and prayers is all we have so I hope we will hear something soon.

Hi there...Sorry to hear that you are going through the same issues as we are. My application dates to Oct.16 so I'm sure you will be reassured that you are not the only one experiencing these issues...Hope and prayers for your spouses processing to be completed soon!

Hi ajaxdragon :D thats why i tried to keep busy here these days to divert my attention to other things, its been so quiet for me too since they last requested some additional docs & appendix A. Well atleast for you, you've got your PP requested so your almost there for sure, i just heard from somebody that it could take up to 90 days for them to retain it depending case to case basis, i'm just not sure if it include weekends though. I know its really frustrating to be apart from our love ones, its been just 5 months since me and my husband saw each other but it feels so many years already, the stress the mental anguish, indeed its a challenge, but were getting there. Glad that we have this forum to voice out some concerns and to know that we are not alone. Godbless ;D

Sept. 2014 applicant here until now we havent heard anything from CEM. Last update from our ecas was on May 22,2015 that they received medical results. It's just so unfair that some got their visas within a short time. My husband's passport was submitted way back Feb. 2015 but until now nothing.
God bless our application to move forward fast!!

Did you ever wonder too why some applicants are getting request for PPR at the same time of the resquest for Appendix A while some are only requested for Appendix A??

Hi Guys! My husband and I applied for Spousal Sponsorship last April.
CIC Miss received my application April 27, 2015 along with my medical results. I always check the processing times for Spousal and they are now processing May applications. But whenever I check with the tool its still Application Received and I noticed the tool is last updated June 02,2015. What are your thoughts about this? Thanks!!!
