My wife, who is from the Philippines, and I, from Canada, got married last month. Currently waiting for our marriage certificate to be release which will be next month. I'm also currently working on the sponsorship application. She is planning to do her medical exam prior before sending the application. On average how long would it take for her to come in Canada knowing that the medical and police clearance shall be completed when sending the application? If anyone else did the same thing if you wouldn't mind sharing your timeline that would be grateful.

Thank You

1. With a complete application, you are looking at 82 days in Mississauga and 17 months for 80% of the spousal applications in Manila.

I applied for sponsorship in January 2014 and my wife got in Canada in January 2015. If there is no red flags in your application (big age difference, absence of photos or other proof of relationship, short courtship, single meeting), that's the average time for a Filipina to come to Canada.
Its a long process that can be hard at times but the reward is worth it.
My complete timeline is at the left side.
Good luck!!!

I was 36 and my wife 25 when we applied and didn't get any problems if it can comfort you. When I say big age difference I'm talking about like girl is 25 and guys is 50 like I already saw.
Everything is in the proof that you are sending.

Hi shevillaverde!
We almost have the same timeline. App received nov. 19, 2014 & SA Feb. 15, 2015. Ecas also shows Medical received. I was just wondering did you already receive any email from CIC regarding SA? Thank you.

Hey all...it really helps for tracking if everyone who applied in 2015 can add their info to the 2015 Outland spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FAYZyQgud1lzp7fM28i2O8ZrfbMAxdTc_t7_fiwI6ak/edit#gid=658388151

Help spread the word so the statistics on this spreadsheet are as accurate as possible.

To add your info, go to the table BELOW the main table in the sheet, and then the spreadsheet owner will add your into to the main table once it's been checked.

Good luck everyone!!!
