Welcome to 'The Club'... I see from the spreadsheet your application is tracking ours pretty much on the same timelines. My status has remained the same for over a month now, with 'Online Services' saying decision made and MyCIC 'Still in progress'. Good to get so far though.

Thank you! I've noticed our timelines are close. I always keep a lookout for your updates as an indicator as to what may be coming up for us! Hopefully not too much longer to wait for the final stages!

Matt.

My husband received an email yesterday, my file is being kept at CPC Mississauga for processing. Exactly what I expected as the case notes I ordered back in August mentioned eligibility for the mysterious OB 570. Hopefully things will move more smoothly now!

OB 570 huh? Sounds like some government experiment! Oh wait, it is!

Spreadsheet updated.

Hi

I just wanted to provide my info for the spreadsheet.


Sponsor: Canadian living in the UK
Principal Applicant: British Citizen
Dependents: 0
Marital status: Common Law
Application type: Family sponsorship
Application sent: via Couier 11 Aug 17
Application received: at CPC Mississauga 14 Aug 17
Email from CPC Mississauga requesting hardcopy missing information: 28 Sep 17
Rquested information sent: via Courier 29 Sep 17
Requested information received: at CPC Mississauga 02 Oct 17


The covering letter with the request for missing information (IMM5406) was unclear about what would happen next, but appears to say that - once received - the application will go back to the end of the queue...

S&A

Hi all,

I'm thinking about doing an inland application.

I'm worried that if I give up my apartment, job, sell my stuff etc and buy a ticket, customs might turn me away.

has anyone gone through this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

I know how frustrating it is. We had a missing signature on a form and had to redo a hard copy, sign and send.

When it happened to us our application was marked as received from the day the hard copy arrived in Mississauga. So June 1st rather than the 13th April when our application initially arrived. It took about 5 weeks then to receive Schedule A request, medical request and sponsor approval. Then a further 6 weeks for transfer to LVO

HTH

Added to spreadsheet. Yes, your app then goes back in the queue.

Presumably spousal sponsorship? Why inland, why not outland? Have you seen the wiki article on this yet, here:

Spousal Sponsorship-Canada : British Expat Wiki

Yes, if you sell up everything and cut your ties to your current country hoping to be let in to Canada as a visitor then apply as inland, I would say you are highly likely to be refused admission. Refer to the wiki article on precisely this scenario here:

Spousal Sponsorship-Canada : British Expat Wiki

Hurlabrick

Thank you very much for that. Added to spreadsheet. Waiting a fair while for COPR? '416' as in Highway of Heroes? If so, we might be near neighbours!

416

Thank you. No just a reference to the Toronto phone area code. I think I need the buzz of downtown city life for a few years...

Was getting impatient as going by the wiki it mentioned 8 weeks. Its coming up to 7, is there any other contact info. Had a few useless calls to CIC.

Hurlabrick

Either raise a case specific query and / or order you case notes (I would do both). CIC call centre is a complete waste of time!

Born and raised in Toronto myself (well Scarberia actually). Find the city waaaayyyy too busy for my liking now though - still hoping for the hockey team though!

416

From a quick search would that be an ATIP request?

Cracked me up when I first heard that term and always does.

Yep has definitely got a lot busier since I schooled here over 10 years ago. I guess comparing it to London I find it quiet. However so much of Canada yet to explore.
