Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[browning911]

CIC didn't care about me too much.... but accepted my ON DL as ID without question.

I am trying to think of what I can send if they ask me for any additional documents:

• Bank statements (Joint account)
• DL for both
• Mail delivered to same address
• Work Permit
• PA paystubs with address
• Cards from each other

OHIP card is not due until close to 4 Aug 2017 when it becomes effective

Wow, this is awesome to know. Thanks profiler!! So knowledgeable!

Our criminality check was started on Oct 22 2016 (status changed from "not started" to "in progress") and changed to "passed" on Mar 7 2017. So Yours should be done by now I would think - your notes were probably generated in Feb I'm guessing?

Yes Profiler is awesome.

Thanks Mia. So that just leaves Security...LOL

What can I say.... Could you say that again, once more? I got a *tingle*

It drives the missus crazy when I say that....

Ontario will issue with Passport + two pieces showing your address.

Once you have that DL, that + his == golden.

You're awesome! LOL

They gave him a printed receipt though! You could send DNA -- but that does't prove he lives with you. All of that is more that sufficient to build a case for cohabitation.

Oh, he has a WP -- T4's, NOA's for 2016 statements of account from his favourite place on this earth (the doctors!) or dentists.

have you traveled many countries browning? I was just talking to someone else who is also waiting solely on security screening. Commonality being that we've both traveled a lot in the past...

All this ego stroking is nice, but it's going to suck when my ego-balloon bursts this afternoon. My son's karate dojo is having a dad participation class today. So, dad's join the class with the kids.....

Ya, last time I was in any dojo was jiu-jitsu when I was like 8....

Kokopelli, how did you find this out?

Hi there,

I checked my application update via the online tool last week and saw they had sent communication to us (didn't know if it was me directly or my rep. Turned out to be my rep but says he didn't get it). So I investgated further, called the CIC hotline and managed to speak to someone thru Citizenship who patched me into Permanent Residency. They said that an email was sent to my attorney asking for proof of relationship and requested specific examples of cohabitation—anything that demonstrated we live together in the same dwelling. Examples they gave of what we could send were:

• Sworn affadavits of people attesting to our relationship
• evidence of joint bank/residential or purchase agreement or insurance to establish genuine relationship and home address

They specifically asked NOT to send pictures of us together.

EDIT: Traveled at all to SCHENGEN? That, and Turkey where the only places my wife had traveled (outside of Ontario, of course). Security services in the Schengen zone are overloaded (Germany alone took in 500,000 migrants last year!)

We already sent them a letter from his doctor and receipts from his doctor visits.
We also sent T4s

Will collect NOAs

BTW: Was on hold with CIC went through the citizenship route but had to wait for almost an hour.
No documents needed Yay!!!!!!
Security still in progress.........I guess it is official. Still waiting for it to be completed.

haha... do itttt....

Having the two DL's both showing the same address is pretty strong proof. Just add any mail or what have you (banking profile pages if you use online banking and they show the same civic address). That's pretty standard. Just prove you both stay at that house.

I am confused by your avatar flag.... I am trying to figure it out... The forum (before upgrade) would tell me the name, just by me looking at the page source code.... now they hide it

I just got off too Kate. At least you know what to send to them now. BTW, you live in one of my favourite places even though I was only there for 2 days.

Yes... France, Italy, Switzerland... no Germany though, but that does make sense they'd all be overloaded.. Knowing this, I think the wait is reasonable then. XD I can probably go on waiting for another month or two without being toooo antsy lol...

So here is the thing about the screening. The likelihood that you are a risk is reasonably low. They know your sponsor, so they can make certain assumptions based on that. Add to that, the refugees fleeing over the culverts from the US, and the migrant stuff in Europe ... you're in a safe place, and considered reasonably low priority. They are not about to deport you, or even visit you. Granted you just want to be done and move on with life, but in the grander scheme, it's unfortunate timing...

Got my GCMS this morning and I would like some clarifications.

App Status Reason: In progress-SPR. What does SPR mean? And they wrote a comment at the bottom saying: Application identified for streamlined eligibility processing.

Sponsorship Eligibility: Not started, however, when I called the call centre couple of days ago, she told me that my sponsor has been approved. Does that mean it has not been updated on my file? Similarly, my wife has not received any correspondence regarding sponsor approval from IRCC as well. Do some people get sponsors approval notification while others don't?

Thank you
