Spousal Sponsorship Outland Manila December 2014

[ekarolouis]

HELP!

I am sponsoring my husband from the Philippines and I am a PR since 2008

Timeline:
Dec. 12, 2014 - Recieved application in CPC Mississauga
March 13, 2015 - Initial assesment
Mar. 14, 2015 - Approved to sponsor spouse
Mar. 24, 2015 - Recieved in Manila Visa Office
April 14, 2015 - Passport Request and Appendix A
April 16, 2015 - Sent Passport to Visa Office in Makati
End of April - Ecas Application Recieved to Inprocess (Medical Results recieved too)
May. 11, 2015 - Started processing PR Application (Principal Applicant/Husband)
June 2, 2015 - Sent e-mail to VO for application update
June 3, 2015 - E-cas changed from "In Process" to "Decision Made"

We have been waiting for his passport and hopefully with a visa stamp for 7 weeks now and the only update I got was the "Decision Made" in E-cas. I am wondering if this is the usual now or not? My husband resides in Ilocos Norte by the way. THANKS!

This is very normal.

Most of the December Manila applicants receive their passport back with Visa/COPR 2 weeks from the date that ECAS changes to decision made. So if history repeats itself for you, you should receive the passport with VISA/COPR by June 17th.

Hi is it okay to sponsor a spouse even if you are only PR for a year? (I became PR last May 2014) thanks

It's OK even if you're pr for 10 minutes
There's no rule about this.

Thanks. Because in the sponsorship evaluation it says that income for 12 months preceding the application? Is it okay that its not completely 12mos because I only started working July 2014?

I understand the confusion, but there's no minimum income for SPOUSAL sponsorship.
CIC can be ambiguous sometimes ^^
