INLAND APPLICATIONS 2015

[Sallychanchan]

Hi all, how do I contact CIC for my application? Is there a number that I can call? Thanks so much.

I usually call this number. 1-888-242-2100.

Hi Daisyli122,

I received the same letter. Did you already get AIP? Can you share your timelines?

I received my sponsor approval, my AIP and a request for medicals. Then I received this letter telling me that my file was transferred. I am trying to find info out there on what this all means but no one really seems to have a concise answer. Hoping we can both shed some light together.

Thanks!

I submitted a case specific enquiry (common law stat declaration) about 10 days ago but I am not going to worry too much...

I submitted my semi-"upfront" medical back in May and I received an email 11 days later saying it has been attached to the file. But it took the officer another 20 days to send me any emails/request...so I won't get bothered with whether it took them CIC 10 or 15 days to attach the document i submitted to my file

FYI, the call centre is the one handling the case specific enquiry. On the GCMS note I received, it is clear that an agent in the call centre added my medical to my file...so...ironically the more you (and all people collectively) call the call centre the less resources CIC will have to process the case specific enquiry. And frankly I don't understand why people panic when it took CIC 13 days instead of 10 days to process the enquiry.

and I am not sure whether it's just luck or because I was talking soft and polite, I called the call centre the day after I submitted the semi-upfront medical through case specific enquiry because I wasn't sure I did it right, the agent was kind enough to look into my file and my case specific enquiry and then ensured me that they have all they want from me.

My guess is that because they have dramatically sped up stage 1 approval (sponsor approval), many requests for documents (meds or CSQ or other things) were probably sent out and the call centre is handling more submission than before. It doesn't help with Mar-Aug 2015 applicants submitting enquiries and call them either I guess.

As for the Mar-Aug 2015 applicants, it does seem unfair that they are being processed slower than even 2016 applicants. If you have been following this thread daily as I did, you will probably understand what has happened: the processing centre Vegreville (CPC-V) used to handle both study/work permits PLUS family class PR application, and then in 2014 CIC decided to transfer all family class applications to CPC-M for faster processing. I guess CPC-M got slowed down by the wave of refugee applications and with the promise of reuniting families made by Trudeau, they decided to ship back a batch of applications to CPC-V and the CPC-M therefore skipped to September applications (see some of the posts from about 2 or 3 weeks ago about mentioning their files being transferred to CIC-V). I guess they were hoping CPC-V and CPC-M would process applications simultaneously...which theoretically should double the processing speed. But it seems it took CPC-V a long time to get back to it's old job and is slow in processing applications (it's not like Mar-Aug applications don't get processed, but just slow...)

I am not sure whether understanding the situation will make Mar-Aug applicants feel better...nevertheless that's what I think is happening based on what I read here...

Thanks for posting this. It makes sense.

Hi dear all,

I am sponsoring my husband for PR now. We submit the application last June and the case got started August 2015. Today I got the email from CIC states I have met the requirement as a sponsor. I tried to find out how long it will take before my husband get invitation for interview on CIC. Unfortunately, I didn't find such information.
Does anybody can give me some hints here?
Many thanks.

PS, we submit the Medical result and Policy certificate align with our application last June.

So far your application has reached SA stage (spousal approval). The next stage is now on your husband's application. As for how long this second stage will complete depends on the application. What makes you think your husband will have interview with CIC?

I thought it is a mandatory process. after I did some study now, I found it is not. I checked the excel file and I found most of the people receive the SA and AIP at the same time. Hope my husband can receive it shortly. thanks for your respond

Don't worry I am sure when May-July 2015 applicants start getting processed you will see SA and AIP all at once then straight to DM. Good luck! ;D
