u might be lucky and make it to the wedding. not like me. my brother's wedding is in july and im really gonna miss it
usually first stage approval takes 6 months. then after every case is different and takes different period of time. for "pending" here it took 6 months to finish whole application process. must be a record. but she doesnt have a child, though she is pregnant. maybe thats what helped her. if they find some problems, it takes a year or two or so. since u didnt get any interview call and ur case wasnt transferred to local office before AIP (it wasnt, right?) it should be fine and take up to 6 months for first stage.

about traveling while application in process..well its very risky. and like many people say here, the officer doesnt have to let u in back to Canada. some people were fighting with tears to let them back in. if u wont be let in, ur case will be cut off. so its ur call if it worth it or not.

me myself was very tempted to go to brother's wedding. but i decided not to risk, because so much time would be wasted and much money spent already. so i just have to live with it.

It took 6 months most likely because it was straight forward. I did all the paper work correctly and sent in everything they needed (I am a Law Clerk by profession so I am amazing when it comes to paper work lol) Yes I am pregnant but that did not play a factor in it at all as they were not aware of this, it happened after the application was sent in and you only have to notify them of a birth in the family not an upcoming birth. We had a lot of things on our side. Most importantly I prayed about it and our prayers were answered. If anyone has any questions please let me know. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

So, my timeline so far is:

I'm so excited, I was going to call the callcenter but was too busy at work! Aaaargh, can't wait till next week! Very happy right now just to know that (hopefully) soon I'll be able to go back home and see my family!

Congrats to you, too, pending, looks like they just finished up September with us!

we applied outland... both of us are here in canada... for inland applications, i think the person to be sponsored can apply for open permit so he/she can work legally...

I am so worried. I sent all my application papers to Vegreville 2009 October 2. The courier tracking number stated that they received it. That is it. I haven't heard from CIC anything since. It's been six months. I can't log to ecas, because they don't have it in the system. Why? Is this normal? What i should do next?

Anybody?

I don't see why a sponsor cannot travel during the inland app. The only problem with traveling outside of the country while inland, is if you get refused entry back in. But for a Canadian citizen, they are allowed back in anyway.

have you tried calling the call center, to get a client ID? if you have a visitor record, you might have your client ID on that. Otherwise, if you still can't log in, I don't know. You could try calling again, or just waiting. if all has gone well, it looks like your application would be up for review for AIP anyway, so maybe you will hear something in the next week or two.

You should be able to use your receipt number (for your processing payment), name and birthdate to access Ecas, in anycase I would definitely contact the CIC call centre and ask for an update.

I wouldn't panic yet - they may not have got to October applications yet!
