Inland applications through Vegreville take 12-18 months to finalize - and you shouldn't expect to hear anything from them for at least 6-7 months after they receive the application when they finally open your paperwork and make a decision on first stage approval.  So you're looking at about October before they even look at your ap.

If anything is irregular about your application, CPC-Vegreville will transfer it to your local CIC office for processing and that can change the timeline.

And for the extend visa on web site they say apply 30 days before end of visas but we apply in april and no anwser yet almost 3 month now

When her visa will expire????.... Did they approved it for 6 months.

[mich21]

Her visas expire july 15 2009, they arrive in canada in january 2009 so almost 6 month. and we ask for 1 year extension

[MARLENA]

You still have until next week. Try to call them and see if they can tell you anything. If you don't hear anything I guess you have up to 90 days for restoration status from the expiry day if I'm not mistaken.

Hi mich21,

I am also in inland process and I sent on March. They are still processing visa extensions received up to March 10, 2009,
so as you said you applied on April you will wait about 104 days to get an answer. They also delayed to give my visa extension
and I got about one month and a half with no status, they say that you have a implied status when you are applying for Permanent Resident through a sponsor in Canada, this means that your wife won't be an illegal in Canada until receive visa extension answer. They usually grants more 6 months on visitor visa and the current time for receive a first answer about
the sponsorship is 5-6 months, so in August we will get some news.

You should call CIC to get your client ID number, and also ask about the visa extensions.
phone number: 1 888 242‑2100
To verify how long it may take to process your case:

good luck with your application.
all the best!

hello every one, i got the answer: they called and told us that they cant find out our immigration application file! in my mind i have the first reaction:  my wife's application file LOST???

the case is : i am canadian citizen, my wife is Chinese passport holder. This January my wife (at that moment we had not yet married) came to Canada with visitor visa, we sent family class sponsor immigration apllication (in-land application) to BC office in early March. we sent the application file by registered post for sure it can be delivered and NEVER LOST!  we checked on the post office webpage about the file, the webpage showed us that out that our application file has been delivered to the BC immigration office 2 days later. so we started to wait for the File Number (FN), but we got no news. in June we got married, so we sent the marriage document to BC office as added documents to my application, this time we sent the marriage document by normal parcel.  2 days later, i got a phone call from the BC immigration office with the news that they have not yet got our application document we sent in early March, only got our marriage document we sent by normal parcel in early July! i told them we had sent out the file and on the post office webpage we can see the delivery detail about our file, the name of the person who recieved the file with the specific time. i was required to send them the post offie recipt with the post number.
then i faxed the BC office our file parcel recipt to the number that the BC office gave me.
Till now 2 week later after i faxed them the paper 2 times, i got no news again!
it really make me worry.
are there any person have been through this kind of case?
can anyone tell me something about this kind of thing......

1.  Why did you send the application to the BC office, inland sponsorships go to Vegreville?  It is probably somewhere in the Vancouver office, trying to figure out what you are doing.
