gosh these forms are so confusing, ive filled most out, but argh,
i dont understand what a co signer is! i know that sounds stupid but i cant seem to make sense of it, too many forms i'm filling out!
just that i know i dont have to fill out that form thats one less i can get rid of!
also, my current sin will only be valid until my iec runs out i take it or its only valid for a year or something? otherwise 'technically' i could still be in the country and work, of course id get found out and deported but, i thought the sin had an expiry date
not i think of it, they can;t have as i thought i would need to renew my sin when i started my 2nd iec but i didnt need to anything like that just used the same one!

Uh oh. Looks like we're up the swanny again strikewise. The pressure on the government from major business' to resolve the dispute is intense. PAFSO hold all the cards so I believe this will be ended reasonably soon.

You, and only you, are sponsoring one person, and only one person, and that person is your common-law partner. You and your common-law partner cannot possibly sponsor your common-law partner... basically he can't sponsor himself! So this form doesn't apply to you.
Hopefully that makes more sense...

landing? as i am already here in canada i would just do a flagpole or attend a landing interview, correct? but if my PR expires at the same time of my passport would it not be better to get a new passport now so i would have the full 5 years of residency rather than limit it to ending on june 2017? i do intend on staying in canada

Everybody in late 2012? Sorry, but that's not correct, there are a few cases on this forum but certainly not everyone from late 2012.
As I've said above, those that applied in late 2012 and got sponsor approval in early 2013 aren't actually delayed anyway - they've still got several months before their cases are considered outside of the timescales given by CIC (or even the timescales given when they applied). You haven't yet said when you applied and via which visa office, so none of us know whether or not your own case is outside of the normal timescale either.
But given the fact that you're residing in a 'third country' and given your place of birth, it's no surprise if your background checks are taking longer, and your application delay (if it is a delay) can certainly be explained easily.
HTH.

Best Monday news ever! Our status has changed to 'decision made', phew! Could whoever is looking after the spreadsheet update our timeline? Name is dmiller, application received 13 Dec.
Orly, etc. - I have high hopes for this stubborn Dec. group this week!
Now.. hopefully the 'decision' that has been made is good!

Our spousal application went in to London 27 August.
Sponsorship approved in October.
A few new papers were requested, and TB tests. All of these were taken care of with a month of the request. These requests happened last fall.
Other new police checks were requested for his daughter who turned 18 this Feb. these they got within two weeks.
We have been waiting for SOMETHING since.
I had lost any hope and didn't report to you guys that it went to " in process" four weeks ago.
In the mean time, my husband ( who is the non Canadian) has a possible job offer that we would like him to be able to take.
If his PR is not approved in the next month we will be in trouble.
Question:
Would an immigration lawyer be able to do anything?
By next week they will be over their stated wait times, however you count it.

Your times will have been affected by both the TB testing and the police certificate requests, unfortunately.
Fingers crossed that it goes smoothly and quickly from here on in.

I didn't think a lawyer could do anything.
It is incredibly frustrating to see others applications going through who applied so much later than us. But congrats for them!
Our application is straight forward. They have decided to make it difficult.
TB tests both original X-rays and secondary ones showed nothing.
Police checks: empty. And both of those were ages ago.
At what point do I think they have forgotten or lost the application?
Does anyone know how long it takes for an employer to get a work permit for someone? It is easily shown that there is no one in Canada, indeed any country, that can do my husband's job....
Don't they know they are missing out on all that income tax?
I want to spit!
