re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Thank You Friends,
I am applying out land via UK- I am from Ireland. I have 14 months left on my IEC visa (August 2016) . I hope if everything goes as normal, I can get the PR before the IEC visa expires.
Any thought on this ?
Thanks,
Vinem

Today's email...
Please note that as the London office has taken charge of application lodged in Islamabad, Pakistan, the 11 months processing time has now changed. We expect to further review this file this coming summer (UK summer).
So still in process, but not 'in progress' yet....sigh.... I hold faith in the fact that others on the spreadsheet around our dates are being approved!

And it's just confusing that they said that to you when last month they told DandH that they were already processing applications received in August and you applied in June:
Hey everyone,
I sent an email to CIC because my husband's medical was due to expire in June. They've extended his medical to May 2016 and also included this...
Please be advised that your file is in queue awaiting review by an Immigration Officer. To give you a better sense we are currently reviewing files received in August 2014.

Hi Everyone,
If I go and work in the UK, would my spousal sponsorship approval from Canada be invalid? As in, since I'm not employed in Canada which my sponsorship approval was based on, is no longer useful?
I wanted to go stay with my Husband in England for a year or two but I don't want our sponsorship process to get delayed. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Sorry for the delay in reporting back, everything went fine entering under dual intent. I had my small collection of documents ready in a wallet but it was not needed in the end. The conversation went:
Border Guy: Hi, how can I help you two?
Me: Hi, Anna is Canadian and I'm British. We have a PR application for me currently in progress. I have some extra documents if you'd like to see them?
Border Guy: When did you apply?
Me: Early January.
Border Guy: Welcome to Canada! Please don't over stay or work until your application is completed. *stamp*
Me: Wahoo!
I'd still recommend anyone entering under dual intent to do the preparation as the wiki says. Just having the stuff makes you feel better about entering.

I've just checked ECAS for the first time in a couple of months and it says "Application Received 29 Jan 2015" I then click on a link and it says its "In Progress".
Things are happening then I guess!

Where are you located now? I'll update your location on the spreadsheet. Don't forget to inform CIC of your address change!
dillisodhi - updated! Don't suppose there was a date that says when it went in process?

Just got this from London:
Dear Applicant,
We are writing with regards to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
As you are aware, visa validity is determined by medical validity, and for this application your medical results expired on 2015/04/16.
As a one-off procedure, in order for our medical officer to potentially reassess the current medical results and determine whether an extension of your medical validity is possible, please provide the following:
- countries visited/country of residence since the date of your original medical, including details of all/any business trips, holidays/vacations or stopovers of any duration.
- details of any illnesses, however minor or temporary, since the date of your original medical.
If the medical officer determines that an extension of your medical validity is not possible, repeat medical instructions will be sent.
I hope it means I'm on the final stretch!

Awesome, glad you sailed through. Some people *are* asked for their proof, so as you say it's good to have it... the standard "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!"
Where are you located now? I'll update your location on the spreadsheet. Don't forget to inform CIC of your address change!

I changed our application address via a form on the website. It says it might take up to 15 days to show so I'll check back then.
