Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[cdylie]

Hi all,

I have an update. we got SA and AIP together yesterday!
and today I got a message in myCIC account for a telephone interview to finalize PS on March 9th!

Anyone here who has done a phone interview, what do they ask? and how will they give the CoPR?
thanks

timeline:
application received Jan 26th 2017
AOR: Feb 23 2017
Medical: July 2017
SA + AIP: Feb 22nd 2018
Landing appointment: March 9th

Hi all, today I received the 'Eligibility passed' letter. My application is from February 8, 2017. Is this letter different from the AIP? And does receiving this letter generally mean you're close to DM?

Congratulations!! We have a quite similar timeline. I am a February 15 applicant. I received this letter yesterday.

So guess who just got their interview date!!!

AOR March 15th 2017, My interview date is for march 15th 2018 I can't believe it, this process has finally come to an end!!! I'm super happy!

Basically nothing since medical in June and then they asked for an additional document in January then silence... and i got an email today with interview details! No AIP DM SA just the email, so for any other March people out there is hope for you it will be soooooon!

Oh my gosh! Congratulations times a thousand the light at the end of the long dark tunnel! Fellow March Applicant here, hoping to hear some good news soon.

I just checked and it says decision made on both Sponsorship Application Status and Permanent Residence Application Status. But does it mean I get approved! But I did not get any email regarding SA or AIP.

You might not even get the SA or AIP email! Looks like Emily89 above didn’t get anything except the final interview letter. You should phone IRCC and confirm

I saw a June applicant who's still waiting, so it will probably be end of March/April...
Did your sponsor get approved?

---------------------------------------------------------
Ok I'm confused about the timeline again...

My timeline is in my signature. I'm a July 2017 applicant (July 31st, so pretty much August).
- We still haven't received Sponsor Approval, but from reading other threads I get the impression SA is supposed to come a few weeks after AOR around the same time as Schedule A/Police certificate request? Or is it because I'm an inland applicant? How are we supposed to know we're about to get SA?
- When I log in, my application still says "Your Action is Required" but there is nothing I can upload and it does say my background check is being processed so I'm assuming it's just the usual glitch, correct?
- I'm currently waiting for the medical exam request. That should be the next step, right, and the last thing I need to submit? After that, is it just waiting (for Sponsor Approval?)?

If anyone could clarify the process and answer my questions, I would really appreciate it! Thank you

No, i don't receive the SA, and my application says "Your Action is Required" , too, and my background check is being processed since last Dec.

From what I know, sadly all June applicants (including me, end of June) and some May applicants are still waiting .

You got all the rest right: SA comes way later, "your action is required" is a glitch (but call CIC if you want to be 100% sure, can't ever trust them) and now you just gotta wait until med request.

Hello everyone, I NEED HELP PLEASE

I applied in November for inland spousal sponsorship, including the OWP.

I've just received an email saying "Your application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. A secure document has
been mailed to you at the address that you provided "

Type: Permit - WP-EXT / Permis - PT-PROR Validity: 2018/05/15

Is this the Open Work Permit ? The validity date matches the expiration date on my passport, when I renew my passport do I have to reapply for an Open work permit or will it extend validity automatically ?

you have to reapply. But you could apply online directly then.

May I know your timeline? When CIC received your application?
