In-Canada sponsorhip ----- First mail from Immigration

[again001]

Hello all, my wife is sponsoring me, In-Canada. We sent in our application in April and still waiting. I hear she has to be sent a letter of Eligibility. I was wondering what the average time is to receive this letter. Thanks for the help.

Not sure, but I have a question.  Does your wife work or do you support her?  If you support her, did you write a letter of explanation as to why she has no income?  Thanks

Wow! What a huge difference from outside Canada.  Outside only takes ~30 days for the sponsor to get approved.
