I think it comes in the next 24h. Probably it's coming today. But for my visitor visa extension, I saw this message for 2 or 3 days.

Hi there
Were you able to link your visitor visa extension before? I have the difficulty in linking my application

I applied online, so it was automatic.

I applied online here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

Can you just tell me if this service gives you an update for your sponsorship file ? thanks

Hi,

My says like this,

1. We received your application for permanent residence on April 15, 2017.
2. Medical results have been received.

It doesn't show # 2 as of yours yet. When your # 2 started to show?

i think that was also in April

Hello,
We have moved a few times and change of address has not been working. One address they mixed up a digit and sent the med request form with the wrong address. Then we have tried updating our recent address 4x, but in the mailing address only part of it still shows up (Our mailing address is different from residential...) any thoughts?

Hello! Any update for September applicants?

Hi Chloe canada,
Cic received my application march 02, 2017 same time as yours and still waiting. Last time I had update was jan. 2017 when they asked for schedule a. No sa/no aip yet. Hope to hear something soon too.

Remember sometimes u do have sa or aip but no emails. I got sa email but no aip email. I know i got aip because agent told me i already eligible for applying for pr when i called cic. What does your ecas say for sponsor side? And applicant side?

I got requested to update valid of passport. because my passport was expired by last year.

Did you send the copy of your renewed passport through webform?

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a good day.

I have a couple of questions, see if someone can answer them.

1. I sent my application on October, 2017. On December, they returned my OWP app because there was a fee that I forgot to pay for. They asked me to complete it and send the whole OPW app to a different office. I sent it on January. I haven't heard from them yet. I was wondering if someone has had a similar experience and has any idea of the time that it takes to get the OWP by resubmitting it to the other office. Do they usually send a AOR? It's been 2 months and I haven't heard anything!

2. The other question is about visa extension. When I applied I was almost out of visitor status, so I requested a visa extension to avoid any trouble in case they return or stop my application. This new extension expires at the end of May. Can I request another extension? Would that be necessary since my application is in process? Any thoughts/adivce/feedback in this matter would be appreciated!

Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate the help I get on this forum. Good luck and patience to everyone!!

We have the same experience and timeline. I applied last October 2017 and owp was returned due to insufficient fund. I resend my owp last January2018 and haven’t heard from them. I was out of status when I resend it. However, I was able to restore status as a student and as a visitor. I sent a copy of my new valid permit to Vegreville. I’m still waiting until now for any update. They do not send an aor for owp. You should try linking yours online. I was able to link mine weeks after i resent my owp. For question no.2, I am not sure if you can extend. Maybe someone in the group can answer that. My visitors too is expiring on July but I do not plan to extend it as I have my study permit and hoping by that time I have my owp. But I think you would be able to hear from them soon regarding owp. They are working on December and you are still in status when you apply owp.

HI,
My ecas for sponsor is still in process and applicant side says application received. My medical passed last July 2017. I just got schedule a request second week of jan.2018 And my background check started 2 weeks after that... I wonder if that delay the process because the background check just started 2 months ago?

Was that the first time they requested Schedule A? Last year they had a glitch where people (including myself) didn't receive Schedule A request and we had to contact them and send it via webform. That could've been the reason it's taking so long for you because BC is a long process.

I submitted my wife's sponsorship application on March 12th, 2018. She appointed me as her representative. So, will I be receiving the acknowledgement for the sponsor and also the applicant?
