Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Just a very minor update from me, I received a notice last week from IRCC informing me that my eTA had been cancelled - nine months after my landing, and six months after I received my PR Card.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Based on my recent experience:

- definitely do a flagpole / activation trip

- try and do it sooner rather than later

The reason for this is all PR card related. My COPR also came through...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Make a copy of your COPR form for your records.

When you land, present both copies of your COPR. Canadian immigration will keep the copy with your photo affixed to it, annotate the copy...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

From the spousal sponsorship FAQs:

"eCAS has changed to Decision Made / MyCIC shows a Decision Made of 'Application approved'... what does this mean?

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Thanks Vulcanoid and Siouxie. Is it relevant that on this trip I've in effect only "flagpoled"?

The other difference with me is that when I establish my permanent residence in Canada it will be...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

I think sit tight until something arrives in the email (or hard copy post). I had a gap of a couple of weeks between eCas showing "Decision Made" and the next communication (which was "Ready for...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

My sponsor received the same letter (although my application was sent to Ottawa). It simply means that the PR application will be processed in the particular office notified.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

My experience earlier this year was that there was about a 2 month gap between the request for schedule A and police check, and then the medicals request. It could be that the length of gap reflects...

UPDATE - COPR delivered in the post on Friday, 21 July 2017. Woo hoo!

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

A bit of an update - myCIC switched to "application approved" today - so that's about one month after eCas showed "decision made". This is what myCIC says:

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Hi AshMyl

No email for "review your eligibility". The only emails I received were:

- a kind of AOR (link your application)

- request for medicals

The request for IMM5569 came via MyCIC. ...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

That's what happened to me. My sponsor got a letter advising the application would be sent to Ottawa, AFTER we'd received an AOR, Sponsor Approval and Request for IMM5569 and Police Certs.
