You're likely waiting on a security screening to be completed. Once it's finished, they will give you their decision and a landing appointment.

Thank you profiler.. Normally how long it will takes for that..

There is no normal amount of time. Some are done in hours, some in months. Totally depends on your past, and asylum seekers and refugees cases.

Should be any time now.

Profiler, one more question if you don't mind. In the request for FBI Clearance, it says "In addition, please account for the period of time that you lived in the USA." As she has never lived there, is a simple letter explaining that along with the FBI information enough? I am guessing the word "lived" is just generic for anyone who spend a total of 6 months or more in the US since the age of 18.
Also, we now have Decision Made on the sponsor side and we are reviewing your eligibility on the applicant notes in mycic. We just need to provide the FBI info and the cohabitation proofs, both will be sent next week. How long would you guess to complete the process?

Similar to my situation. My total living time in US is 4.2 months, I attached a letter summarizing my past entry and departure to and from US.. I also provided all passport stamps and boarding passes copies. GCMS notes said US police certificate not required as applicant provides evidences showing total months spending in US is <= 6months.

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday! Just saw DM on my husband's side for sponsorship approval. Here's our timeline so far:

Application Received: October 28, 2016
AOR: November 21, 2016
Medicals + Background check: Upfront
OWP: June 7, 2017
SA: October 13, 2017

Any idea how long the next steps may take? We are in Toronto, ON so would our office be Mississauga or Etobicoke?

Congrats! CPC-M is a Case Processing Centre, not an "office". You'd likely be landing at Etobicoke, or potentially Scarberia.

If they had your case, they will try to process as much of it as they can. So, does the PA side in ECAS say "in process"? If not, you might see a document/medical request any time now..

Ah yes, Case Processing Centre*!

Thanks Profiler!
On PA side I see "Application Received" on the main page and when I click on it, it says "Medical results have been received." I've been seeing this update for the last 2 weeks or so.

Did they email you your AOR letter? If so, then you could see an AIP any time . They might even send you a DM. It's hard to say, when we don't know what they are working on (I would say it's either at the AIP/relationship validation step, OR, you're just waiting for a security screening to land).

Humm they had sent an automated system-generated letter on November 28, 2016 addressed to me acknowledging receipt and giving me a unique file number. That is the AOR, correct?

I just hope I don't have to send in new police checks since it was so difficult to get one of my clearance reports from the country I previously lived in without me or any family members being present there and I really don't want to go through that again

Fingers crossed!

Yes, I am trying to determine if you should be checking email, or myCIC.

Regarding PCC, if you have been in Canada since the PCC was issued (meaning you didn't go back), then it would be fine.

Oh phew, glad i won't have to go through that PCC process again (I haven't travelled out of Canada since 2015).

I do have a lawyer handling our file and they get all the email communication first, I just check myCIC from time to time to see if anything has changed.

If you have a lawyer, you cannot check myCIC -- only ECAS. So, without more info, I can only suggest you are near the end, most likely.

AH I see, I thought I had been checking myCIC all this time! Such a newbie!

Thank you so much for all your help Profiler!

Hey Guys,
My wife (principal applicant) just received a call saying they were calling from Etobicoke Office asking us to come to their office on Oct 31 with all the docs. They also said that since her medicals would be expiring soon, they want to meet before the expiry date.
They also said that they'll be sending us an email about this with all the other info eg. documents requirement, etc shortly.
I'm now worried if this is a interview or landing appointment. ECAS and GCKey doesnt show any updates.
I'm a Nov 15 applicant.

Any info or if anyone has been through like this before ?
