Received a message from the centralized intake office today saying I passed the sponsor eligibility.

Application Sent - March 3
Application Received - March 6
AOR1 - April 6
SA - April 18
Where did you get the SA? Do we get an email or have got to see in the ECAS or Gckey? If so in ECAS what does it it state?
It would be helpful if you answer

I got an email. All correspondence so far has been through email for me. The only exception was a request for a police certificate that was sent through gckey.

Hi! This is about the parents sponsorship. I’ve move to canada last March 2018 and I am a permanent resident. Is it possible to sponsor my parents next year? My spouse will be my co-signer and he’s been here in Canada for 6 years. He was the one who sponsored me last year.

No AOR or ECAS access for us yet... 45 days and counting...

Happy to see all the news for everyone, am staying hopeful things will start moving for us soon too!
I know some will not agree but maybe call on Monday from inside Canada and at least ask for ur temp file number. U will then be able to call the automated line to get updates. Just an idea

No.You need 3 years of Canadian income that meet the income cutoff before you can even attempt applying.

Oh my, that's very hard to say. Yes and no. Like I'm hoping for the 6 month average, but I've also accepted the fact that it might take 8, 10, 12 months. Statistics from the spreadsheet give a good hope that it takes faster than 12 months, but there's also no guarantee. Depends on the specifics of your application too (dependents, and what not). But I'd say that yes, most likely our applications will be 6 months average. If there are no complications. But I can't stress this enough and some people often forget this: the spreadsheet numbers don't guarantee anything. We are only a small percentage of all the applicants :)
I wouldn't like to frustrate you, but I don't know anyone from Warsaw VO who would have finished the process in 6 months. 8 was the earliest I've ever seen. 10 to 12 is their reality.

Don't look at the spreadsheet, it's not your case, so don't let it confuse you. There it feels like 99% of applicants are from India. And they all are done super fast. These are not real numbers for everyone else.

Hi everyone,

I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my husband who is currently living in Germany, we chose Outland Sponsor Application because we have some additional issues (aka 1 year Exclusion order) which I won't get into except to say I am aware that CBSA may not authorize an earlier entry for us.

However, regarding the sponsorship application (with attached ACR request an work permit request), timeline so far is this:

Sent application to Sydney via courier and it was received March 15.
Returned to me April 15 via Canada Post citing that the German Birth Certificate was not translated. We are currently waiting for the certified translation which won't be done until next week.

I have a couple questions if people don't mind: Now that is has been returned, and requested to be resubmitted:

1. Should I add any additional materials in, since I have it back anyway? For example, I now have access to my 2018 tax assessment which was filed after the application was originally sent.
2. I have noted previously in the forum that the checklists changed in March 2019....I have the old checklist which DID NOT require the translation of text messages (not a problem for us because we communicate in English), however should I re-submit with the new checklists that were updated in March 2019?
3. My concern of course is that our application will be returned repeatedly. As in, the officer looked over the package but STOPPED looking as soon as it was noted that we did not have the translation for the birth certificate or would they have gone through the rest to check for missing documents?Should I go back over the Application and add (or re-do) or should I just leave it?

Thank you everyone! I read all the 73 pages of conversation but didn't note anything that answered these specific questions.

Sincerely and with much appreciation,

Lindsay

Well now March 2019 applicants is at 10
Months period . 2 months already passed as it shows on my gckey account . But I really hope they finish at least in that 10 months cuz I heard lots of thread about afghans were they take forever cuz of the background check but IRCC shouldn’t forget we r humans too and we do deserve to stay with our loved ones I cancelled my trip and decided not to visit my husband in August just becuz I got medical req and I need to work and earn some money so when he comes we don’t face problem. All I want is that my case shouldn’t take more than 10 months .

definitely, you should add 2018 tax assessment and all new updated formsnotonly check list if any update latest as well.
may be officer diidnot check the whole application it can happened only i assumes.
your chat Should be in english according to new check list otherwise it shold also translated . Any other document in any other language also should translated from notary or authorized person.

For more details plz explore cic website as you can. everything is there only you need time and read carefully every section. Hope its helpful
