Hello Guys,
I have a question in regards to our application. We applied for our application inland spouse in feb 2016. we attached our application to our account in mycic but never got the update for medicals which were requested on may 28th. we called in august to have them give us an update as it was so long and were told there was a medical request sent 3 months ago which we never got, so they documented everything and sent us another one on 28th august. we got the medical done and a week after they asked for some documents to prove that me and my wife live together and also to do a fingerprints RMCP criminal check, which we got done and now the CIC call centre agent confirmed they have received all of the documents plus the criminal check from the RMCP.
in short, Guys do you have any idea how long will it take to process our application further before they make the decision as it seems like its been an awful long time and an unnecessary delay because of their own MyCIC not updating for me.
Any replies in regard would be helpful.
thanks!

it can be anywhere from days to 6 months, based on recent trends. For me its been 3 months today and still nothing.
You need to get a DM (decision made) after AIP. From DM, you get the landing appointment in 1-8 weeks for Etobicoke, but from what I read most are in 6-8 weeks.
It can be as fast as few days to as long as several months. It's very difficult to give you a timeline. Most of the time, security checks are what is holding up. If so, the timeline varies a lot depending on the cooperation of your country of origin with CSIS and CSIS partners.
So early September they asked for proofs of relationship and you sent proofs soon after. It will normally take 45-60 days to get attached to your file. And then an agent must pick up your file again to evaluate your additional proofs. So my guess would be that you will not get news until early November. Then if your security checks are done by that time (different from simple background checks), then you could get DM very soon after they check your file.
For most people SA and AIP come almost simultaneously. SA is sent to the sponsor (generally by email) and AIP is sent to the principal applicant by email and in the linked mycic account. If you used a representative, communications are sent to him.
Were you asked to send additional proofs for relationship and/or cohabitation?
Hang on, it will come. It was indeed 26 months when you applied so you are on this timeline officially. But honestly, only few exceptions will even get close to 20 months.
Even for those applying after December 2016, the 12 months processing time is not a maximum. That's the time to process 80 percent of applications. There will always be some more complex cases. For example, when you are asked to provide supplemental proofs, it delays a bit the processing time of your application. If you travelled a lot or if you come from a country that has little diplomatic relations with Canada, that might lengthen your background checks and your security checks also.
But you and your spouse are here and are probably living a quite normal life. So enjoy your everyday life and don't put yourself in a continuous stress because of the immigration process. It's only a matter of time. Hang on, stay positive and enjoy your everyday life. That's much more important than the immigration process itself!
Yesterday I received an email that IRCC needs proof of relationship. I checked my ECAS today and on the sponsor, side says " Decision made". Is that SA?
Do I receive AIP when they receive the documents that they asked?
Hello friends, I got this message in MyCIC, like a letter just couple of hours ago:
Dear XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX:
This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you and all your family members have met these requirements...
My status at MyCIC hasn't change, eligibility says - application in progress. ECAS remains the same: sponsor side in process. Applicant side: application received.
I received a document request on relationship a month ago.
I applied on December 20, 2016 and AOR received on January 19, 2017.
Anyone knows what this letter means? Sponsor hasn't received any email yet. In July 2017 when I received my GCMS notes, it states criminal record passed, medical passed, eligibility in process, security - seems like a file was created but never carried forward. Officer's note on admissability include criminal (police reports, RCMP), medical and nothing on security checks. Any idea on what I should expect? Thanks

Salaam masouleht, Yes decision made on the sponsor side means SA.
You will not get AIP until they are satisfied with the proofs submitted that you are in a genuine relationship. So no AIP until you submit the additional proofs and that they are done reviewing them. For the additional proofs, I recommend reading the post on that subject by @profiler you can find the link in the signature of any of his posts.
Khodafes!
First congratulations, this is your AIP. So CIC is satisfied with the additional proofs you sent that you are in a genuine relationship. Even if the sponsor hasn't received the letter, the sponsor is for sure already approved, because you cannot get AIP without the sponsor being approved. Check tomorrow morning ECAS, you will likely see decision made on the sponsor side.
Once your security checks will be completed, you'll get your DM and land soon after.
With your AIP letter, you can register to your province health insurance program.
