Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[Mizzcari]

I received SA and AIP yesterday and i didn't apply for OWP with my application. My lawyer is advising me that i need to apply for OWP asap to get my SIN so that i will be able to work.

My question is, do i actually NEED to apply for it at the stage? Im a July 2017 applicant

owp takes about 3 months to be processed and receive at your mail... you probably will be landing waay before that! I don't think you need at this stage..

there's a chance you'll land before receiving your OWP unless there's a slow-down with your background check, which is I think unlikely.

Hmmm that's what i thought. Its so close already. I will just waste money on lawyer fee

Right. Plus they've been working on my side of the application since March 28th and I passed my medical already. I have no criminal record or dependents.

Not good. Money making business they are in

yeah, I'm trying to disconnect a bit from the subject since it's been very difficult for me... But I have a feeling that it's close now! I'm more positive than ever!

I was thinking about doing it! I have no idea how it works though - I will see if I can find info in the forum

I feel you, i'm Feb 28 2017 applicant and still no decision made. I too tried to disconnect from here and the whole process for a while because the stress and anxiety is just too much sometimes. I contacted my local federal MP and it was a great decision. Within 24 hours he got back to us and managed to get in contact with the Immigration department. He found out that both myself and my wife (sponsor) are now eligible, they have all the documents they need, and they also acknowledged that it's beyond the 12 month approx processing time (15 months now). None of these facts are updates in either ECAS, phone or MYCIC which is frustrating. Apparently now all that is left is background check. It's great he can just pick up the phone and speak to a colleague in the government, but why can't they tell me this? Also the fact that they have everything they need and the acknowledgement that they are dragging their heels yet still haven't sorted it is just so demoralising. Have hope, stay strong and contact an MP
