Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates
- Thread starter mcrystald

Thanks for replying. My spouse's application has been a nightmare to deal with (although it should have been super easy, the lawyer we hired made some HUGE mistakes and this is our fourth attempt) I was hoping that it would be soon that we'd receive the AOR...will keep stressfully waiting.
Doesn't specifically say that. We used staples and got an AOR. Don't think they will return an app just for using staples (any examples of it here?), they just prefer you don't.
We were so paranoid (with all our other issues) that we didn't use staples at all...hope it works out ok.
Was a mistake on our part, happy we didn't make a more fatal mistake that would cause it to be returned.
Hello, Everyone.
I have been reading for 2 days from page 1 (still in 176). Thank you all for your inputs-- very informative and helpful.
We were sent a request for CSQ and Schedule A, last September. However, we were not asked to submit Police Clearance. Is this normal?

The email finally came. One week after DM on ecas for sponsor
My application was sent September 1st and still no AOR. Would it go directly to the email provided in the application? I see many people here with AORs right after they send in their packages. I'm a little worried at this point.
We had an initial submission but it was returned due to a new form; which was changed last July, while they had our application submitted early June). That's why perhaps our AOR came out faster the second time.
App received by CIC: August 23, 2017
AOR: October 10th, 2017
CSQ request to Sponsor: October 12th - Application received by MIDI on October 16th
Sched A and Police Certificate request: October 10th 2017 - Submitted on October 17th
(Sent explanation letter to justify lack of CSQ when I submitted my Schedule A, since apparently once you submit, it's all 3 documents)
Medicals done upfront and passed on October 10th
OWP: Sent with application on August 23 - OWP linked on October 16th (And for some reason dates from 08/17/2017, same as on the forms)
Tourist Visa Extension Request sent on August 26th - Still waiting. Visitor status Expired on October 1st.

Hey guys I think the most recent AOR's were last week for applicants around Aug 22/23rd, average time taking 7 weeks. By that you are still around that timeframe and can expect something in the next few days. though quite possibly the waiting time for an AOR could have got even longer.. The PA should get the email first explaining to link account, I haven't seen anyone getting AOR's right after they send packages certainly not for INLAND apps.
I agree the last AOR's that I've seen are from like August 23rd applicants. looks like there might be some form of delay. hopefully soon
