Hey Suganya, when I went to the embassy, they told me the samething. But then after a week they called us. You are on ur 8th month so my understanding is that u should get it within weeks.

Ok its family class but not "Sponsorship" CIS web site do not have special category for this type of case. Its like this I got married in 2008 and i came to canada and applied for refugee. my refugee case accepted in 2009. then i was eligible to apply for PR and i applied for PR and mentioned about my wife too. after about month colombo office send PR application kit to my wife saying that she is eligible to apply for PR. she filled the application and send it with police reports in dec 2009 . they send the Acceptance letter along with the file no on january 2010 and application process started. in aug 2010 they request for wedding photos . and we send it. meanwhile july 2010 I got my PR... from that onwards we are waiting... . how ever they call this type of case as family reunion. resently i did inquery through MP office.. Answer was "File in Process". Now I applied for Caips notes and waiting for that.

sorry 4 the late reply...i was talking to some of my friends.......one of my friend's uncle had the same story like u...she told me that ur sponsorship will fall under family class.....but she told me that ur processing time will be bit longer then other family class cause u were refugee and ur case accepted in 2009....she told me that 4 her uncle it took 4.5yrs for his wife and kids...so hopely it won't take that long pray u will get it sooner...this is the information i got from a friend....people correct me if i'm wrong

Selection decision is made when processing officer completes full assessment of
the application and determines that applicant has or has not met selection
criteria. At this stage case is refused if selection decision is negative or,
if selection decision is positive case waits for the rest of tasks to be
completed (medical, criminal and background/security checks) before final
decision is made. Usually selection decision is made after the interview or in
the case of interview waiver when such is being granted
