Hope my case could give a reference to help somebody in the forum...We have waited for 18 months before DM in Quebec.

And I haven't received any email or calls from CIC for an appointment yet. What will be happened next...? Thank you.
Today My wife and I went to Montreal CIC office for attending to the landing appointment. A nice officer did all document within 10 minuits, very simple. She asked some questions as below,
1. The first entry date in Canada
2. The last entry date in Canada and in which airport you've been entied.
3. Do you have child in other countries?
4. Wish you always sponsor your wife?

Do guys think if i cancel the use of representative during the application process would it affect my application. Since the lawyer i went through has been giving me a lot of hard time lately and not easy to get in touch with. Any suggestions?

Not as long as you are sure to submit the Use of a Representative form to remove them from the file (send this via IRCC web form). You might want to also call the call centre to notify them of the removal, and ask they update your contact to include your email address and phone number. Otherwise, communications can get lost.

Other than lost communications, there would be no change to the processing speed or time.

Still showing application received and group 5 you are sponsoring in your family who has a difficult life
I'm sorry, I have never heard of that. Asylum or Refugee, sure. That's not to say that it doesn't exist. It means I can't comment on it.

You have to wait until SA/AIP for ECAS to change to In Process. Nothing can speed it up, unfortunately.

When did you submit? My wife's myCIC showed BG check in progress from July 2016 - May 2017 when she landed.

Did you mean sponsorship corporation (G5)?

Thanks Profiler. So got an update from the local MP office. According to them the appliction was approved on Nov 17 and they have sent out the letter. Now have to wait for Etobicoke office to schedule an landing appointment which can take upto 7 weeks. For the landing appointment do they usually call or email or send a letter? Any ideas and whats the average time it takes for landing?
I guess after all i dont need to remove my representative.

4-8 weeks for Etobicoke. They use the same means they normally contact you with. So, they will email your rep, most likely.
