Question on wait time to hear back from CIC on dependent child sponsorship

[ashitasingh]

Hi,

I am a Canadian PR holder. I got my PR last year in Nov 2017 and moved to Canada in April, 2018.
I submitted the application to sponsor my dependent child (biological) on October 5th, 2018.
The application was received by CPC - Sydney, Nova Scotia on October 11th. Today it is December 4th and i have not even got an acknowledgement from CIC yet. Absolutely no communication whatsoever from them yet. I am getting a bit worried. Does someone know how long does it take for CIC to send an acknowledgement?
P.S I have a full time job in Toronto and i produced both a letter from my employer and 1 month's salary slip.
Will be great if someone who has sponsored their child this year (2018) have any experience to share.

Hi Ashitasingh,

Did you get the response/ack from CIC regarding your dependent child app ?

Hi @msajjad

No I’m still waiting to hear from them. It’s going to be 3 months soon since I sent them the documents. Are you in a similar situation too?

In a similar situation. Mine was received in October 29th. Nothing from them yet.

My application was received around Oct 20, 2018 by NS office, I haven't received any reply from them yet. I think we should expect a response around Feb last week as they are still processing July end / Aug first applications, moreover due to December holidays, there might be further delay.

@Surexistence and @khannabharat Thanks for your response.
Do you know how long it is taking CIC now from the day you get the Ack to the day they ask for passport for visa stamping?
I was planning to go to India to get my daughter in July first week but i am unsure if her passport would get stamped by then or not.

hope it will get stamped before then. I would advice you don't make any plan yet to travel. Just wait a while. I am sure from Feb we will start getting medical request. I noticed for child sponsorship for those who got their medical requests recently, they received both the AOR and medical request at the same Time.

I agree with what @Surexistence said. Going by timeliness people posted so far, I don't see any reason why it should be delayed till July.
