APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[Nabia23]

They received my on March 29, no SA for me neither.

Did you recieve your AOR though??

 

[yijiequ]

I hope so. I'm just kind of at my limit for knowing that this is holding up the PA side of the application when this is supposed to be the easiest part, you know?

Decoy.. i made a stupid mistake, when I received my 2015 Tax Assessment. i fax CPC-M my current one; only later CIC call centre told me spousal one doesnt care about the income .... i read online that unnecessary inquiry or send documents to them will delay the process.. sigh...

I don't really think that's true. It only delays applications if they have to request documents from you, which is why it's best to send them before requested.

I don't think that call center agent fully knew what he was talking about. The purpose of the Notice of Assessment/Option C isn't for income, it's to make sure you haven't been on welfare.

No. I called them this morning and they said they're still processing my SA. I know they do some sort of internal/external checks on the sponsor, so maybe they're waiting for a response on that.

Call center agents aren't always right. In truth they don't really care whether it's your 2015 or 2014 assessment. We never forwarded the 2015 assessment because we didn't have it when we submitted the application and it's fine. They're very very lenient on this, especially since a lot of sponsors don't live in Canada so they don't even have a CRA notice of assessment and can't get one.

yes. i received mine on April 22..

Lucky! I haven't even received my AOR yet. It's been 48 days.

My lawyer told me 6-8 weeks is normal.
My lawyer statutes I truthfully don't trust! I will do it all myself.
I will call them tomorrow, what information would I need?
I really appreciate your help!

tell them you have past the processing time, no AOR or SA. do you have a UCI number at least from your partner?

 

[Nabia23]

I literally have nothing. The only info I have is that they received my application on the 1st of April. That's about it. No movement. I don't even know how to check.

I've only today managed to get into my side of eCAS. Still can't access the sponsor side. Just mine.

what about your partner? does he have a UCI number? citizenship number? what so ever. give cic a ring. you are way behind the timeline without AOR.

Nope. Nothing, no number whatsoever. I knew I've been feeling very anxious for a reason. So I will call my lawyer, tell him to give me the reciept number. Call up CIC, and figure out why it's taking so long?
