re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Update for the spreadsheet: husband was approved as a sponsor on 17th Feb 2015. Our case is being transferred to London for processing. We were hoping they'd keep it in Canada, but at least they aren't sending it to Vienna, which was the other possibility and would have taken a lot longer....

On the other hand, a Pakistani colleague of my husband's said it took 33 months for his wife to be granted PR...

Why do they bother having people working for the CIC call centre?? rant over.
So I phoned CIC to say that I haven't received any information yet after seeing decision made to see if they could tell me if I had been approved or not (yes I know but I am bored at work).
She said that the correspondence was sent to my sponsor. Then she told me that the case was still open and it had been to quick for a decision to be made? I said does that mean there is an error in the system, she said no... So I said online it tells me decision made for both part 1 and 2. She said yes the decision was made to send it to a case worker for the second stage. At this point I gave up and said ok thanks for your help.
I am sure this cant be a glitch.

I think if the correspondence has been sent in the mail, it's just a case of waiting it out... I know that's what I would do.

+1 I agree, they seems to give out some very strange info sometimes. Try to stay calm and I hope the letter comes quickly for you

Hi
1. Well if they are following the Privacy Act, the information on the sponsorship decision is your sponsors. So they shouldn't be releasing it to you.

My current IEC runs out in May 19th. I don't think I'll have a answer on my PR by then. Has anyone here applied to change status to a visitor through sending the paperwork to CPC vergeville or is it easier for me just to do a border cross and take all info with me?
When would be the best time to send paperwork if so? End of March?
Thanks as always troops!

"I want to call CIC and ask x."
"Don't bother, you won't get the answers you want."
Later...
"I called CIC, they gave me crap information and now km freaking out!"
"yes, we told you that..."
