Hi,

I have applied for the Spousal Inland Sponsorship and my file was received by January 16, 2014. According to the CIC Status, the initial assessment takes 17 months (working on files received on March 25).
My question: when does the actual processing time start? From the day the have received my file or from the day the open my file???
