Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
I have done an analysis of timescales for 2017 so far split by visa exempt vs non-visa exempt (you are visa exempt). It shows a 'bell curve' of overall timeline from receipt to approval of 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 months with outliers both before and after these timeline. I have attached the jpg of the graph to this post.
So in theory, given you sent your application in at the end of October, receipt of CoPR by August is I would suggest 'possible' but I would not want to bank on it (perhaps 50 / 50). OTOH, the fact that you are not yet Sponsor Approved seems to me to point towards a 'less likely' outcome.
Best of luck!

I'm in awe of your work here, that's incredible fingers crossed, but I'm ready for the less likely too.
Each update I got so far made me so happy, however probably nothing will compare to the day I am actually flying out there and all the time and money has paid off (literally).

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Hi All,
My wife text me last night to say that immigration emailed her saying they sent it to London? She is the sponsor and I'm applying for PR.
She sent me a screen shot of her ECAS it says sponsored person = me, sponsorship application status = Decision made and the last tab says PR application = in progress.
I checked mycic and ECAS and theirs no change at my end?
She also got a letter/email from the tax off asking how much i earnt yesterday, not sure if this is related?
Does this mean I've been approved or there was problems so they are sending it to london?
Can anyone pls help, @Hurlabrick
Just wanna say well done to everone that got theirs recently, its a nerve racking experience.
edit = I guess i'm worried cause they asked for the imm form 3 times, or i sent it with app, they asked for it again in dec, then again on 28th of feb where they also asked for the police form again and proof/communication? There was no explanation for this and I could only upload 1 item? So I made a word document below?
"Dear Sir/Madam,
We have proof of communication via what’s app messages, photos and emails. We have letters from family members, flight details to and from Winnipeg for both Ashley and me. We have our wedding certificate which is now in Winnipeg with Ashley, honeymoon bookings ect. Ashley also lived with me through most of 2017.
We did send all these with our application in October.
I have tried to upload these but it will only let me submit one document?
Please can you let me know what you need and how to upload it?
Kind regards,
Chris.
P.S.
Since we applied for the application is now back working for her previous employer and I have been offered a position in Winnipeg with my old employer Stanley Black and Decker Inc. I hope that the application process will not be much longer as we have a ceremony for the Canadian side of the family that couldn’t make it to the wedding in June. "

Not at all unusual for one tracking source to be updated before another, but unlikely the 'decision made' notification is a mistake. So lets call it DM as at 22-Mar, please keep us updated.
You say at the same time you got a query from the tax office (i.e. NOT CIC)? If so, then this will be nothing to do with your PR application - government offices are definitely nowhere near as connected as being able to work together!!!!

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Update:
- Jan 31s requested French police certificate.
- March 15th received an email with a .pdf letter saying 'The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete' and asking for passport copy, more photos and a copy of the letter. No way to upload these online so used an online request form and sent the photos into London address as requested.
On my cic it still says 'in progress' for everything except the medical which it says passed.
Does this mean we are nearly there?
Thanks

Hi Emily,
I'll let the others say, but it does sound like you're close .
Have you checked ECAS? From what i've read this changes first before the My CIC.
You can click this link below, enter you details, you may see a Decision made?

Medical results have been received.
Thanks!

To help complete your timeline, can you say when you were 'sponsor approved' and which visa office they sent it to (i.e. which visa office you are now speaking to (probably London).

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
They would not have requested photos and passport copy just to decline you, so 99.5% certain that 'decision made' is approval.

It was being processed in Missisagua but they recently asked for photos to be sent to London so I presume London now.
Thanks!
