Decision Made changed to In Process after Landing Interview

[greenfield90]

Hi there,

Any advice for my case please :-X

I am Inland 2015 applicant with following timeline:
- Mississauga received my application in January 2015
- AOR1 received in March 2015
- SA received in March 2016
- Medical request in April 2016
- AIP received in May 2016
- Landing letter received on June 14, 2016
- Landing appointment took place on Jun 23, 2016

Before we went for landing interview, I checked my status on ECAS and it said "Decision Made". On June 23, 2016 I and my husband came to CIC in Etobicoke and brought requested documents they mentioned on the letter. The officer asked my passport and asked 3 general questions if I have any criminal charge, children, ever removed from Canada? Then, I signed on the COPR.

And I thought she would give me the COPR and said congrats like someone else. After I signed, she hold my COPR and asked us if we bring any documents show our current address. I and my husband show her our driver licenses. She said she needs something else. My husband gave her the letter from CRA and showed her our address is on corner of letter. (3 months ago, CRA sent us the letter and asked us to confirmed the date we married and they will assess our income tax return). Then the officer asked why CRA sent us this letter and she took time to read all of the letter and she asked us if we have anything else to show the current address. We told her we will stop by the near bank and get the bank statement, then come back the interview. After that, the officer came inside and talked with her supervisor. They told us they will contact us later for another appointment and asked us to leave because they did not want to wait.

We went home and waited for hearing back. But nothing until last week, CIC Mississauga emailed me and said our application was transferred to CIC Etobicoke for further assessment :-[ That's so weird because in May 2016, they sent me AIP and said my application was complete and CIC Etobicoke will contact me for landing interview. I check my status on ECAS and it changed from Decision Made to In Process... It's speechless!

And now, I'm still waiting for CIC Etobicoke to contact me and I don't know which stage I'm on. I think no one has the situation looks like me.

It sounds like they have doubts that you still live with your sponsor, which is a requirement of inland applications. Etobicoke generally handles "difficult" or non-standard cases, so being transferred there is not a positive sign. I would recommend ordering your ATIP notes to see what concerns the officer has.

Wow! I've never heard of this before.

You signed the COPR, but...the officer did NOT sign it?


I suggest having at least a couple of your neighbours write a letter stating that you have been living together. Have the letters notarized.

Good luck!

Thank you! I just order GCMS
But it's all our fault when we did not bring enough documents they requested. I read in some threads, there was a case applicant forgot the bank statement and the officer let them come back in the same day with bank statement on hand

no every situation is the same, nor are all visa officers the same. they certainly do not have to agree to finalize the approval in the same day if the applicant/sponsor are not prepared in their landing interview. this is certainly subject to officer discretion.
