Well, if it was inland, and she's not inside Canada, it would be refused.

Canada's the second largest country in terms of territory size in the world. CIC isn't tracking where applicants are. They will know by querying passports if the person may still be in Canada. But, there is no magic beacon that people have to carry....

With that in mind, it is up to you to complete the appropriate application package and submit with details whether the applicant is residing in Canada or not.

What did you tell CIC? What does your AOR letter, or any response from them at all say? I cannot comment further, since I didn't complete the application or receive any mail regarding it. Sorry about that..
they approved my sponsor request and now in process for her (its in process for her since 2 weeks)
she cant come to canada shes from venezuela and twice we asked the tourist visa and was refused
AOR June 9th
we did our file with a lawyer
can we talk in private ?

new update :

they transfered the file in bogota office for the visa


good news ? anybody with a timeline ?
If your file was transferred to an office outside of Canada, that means for absolute certainty you applied outland. Inland PR's are handled by CPC's and local CIC offices only.

Every file is sent to CPC-M, irrespective of inland or outland. It's their job to pre-screen and determine which files they have enough detail on to start processing. Inlands remain at CPC-M unless they are transferred inland for review/interview. Outland is transferred once SA has been reached.

It's 'good news' that there is movement. Absolutely impossible to nail down a time line.

If they have all the information they need, you won't hear from them at all, until it's done. In my wife's case, the information vacuum was soo loud (to me), that I kept submitting more proofs (images, proofs of bills and mail coming in her name, etc).

We didn't hear anything until they asked for her to redo her medical, and 3 days after they received it, a landing invitation.

This is the reason I don't like immi lawyers/consultants. It's totally possible to submit all of what's required. Why don't they do that? Well, it could be the client doesn't have the proofs, or doesn't want to hand them over....OR that the lawyer/consultant is making work for themselves later.

Either way...

I understand after they knew she was in colombia when they asked us the background 2 months ago and we paid since long time the lawyer he didnt ask us more so I just hope its over after this .....

Local CIC offices are assigned based on the radius from the postal code you gave for your address. ItsI the closest office to you.

That is a full service office, like most. They do interviews, refugee claims, etc.

Thanks for quick response.

That is absolutely not the closet office for me. I searched that online, that is in west side of Ontario and I am living in south Ontario. I would say Mississauga office is much closer. My file was transferred from Mississauga to local office, and now Etobicoke...I am a little confused...

Mississauga is not an office. It's a Case Processing Centre (CPC).

The public cannot visit.
