Hi Folks,
Just an update to the spreadsheet for my application.
A letter was received yesterday dated 8th February 2016 confirming sponsorship approval.
The case has been forwarded to the London office.
Cheers.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Hello, I am a new member here, so i thought i will give you guys some information about my husband's application. Can someone add it to the spread sheet as well?
- Application received in Mississauga: 09/02/16
- They started processing his application on the 12/02/16
- They sent me a mail telling me that my application to sponsor my husband has been approved on the 18/02/16 and that they sent the application to london office on the same date
- Meds recieved
Also because i live in Quebec, so they told me to fill out the CSQ forms and send them to MICC. They need to recieve them tomorow. Does anybody know how much time does the MICC will take to take a descision? Also what happens if the MICC approve the application?

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Just an update on our situation. Since it's been over 20 months now, I contacted the CIC via the inquiry form and also tried to have our MP do the same. A note appeared on the on-line case history now:
4. We sent you correspondence on December 30, 2014. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
They received that document two weeks later and I have proof of that. I emailed the MP and forwarded them the email exchange I'd had with the CIC regarding that document (in March 2015 I was worried because nobody acknowledged having received the document and I sent an inquiry, to which they responded and said that they, indeed, received it and would contact me in due course).
I'm not sure if that note in my case history is their way of replying to my recent inquiry, because nobody bothered to contact me personally. This is so incredibly frustrating, it's hard to describe. They never even updated my address on-line, which I know they sometimes don't do, but now I'm paranoid that everything about my case is messed up.
So far the only thing I've heard from the MP is that my medicals have expired. That's not news to me, but I'm waiting for more information. I'm giving them until Friday. After that I'm going to the Minister.
Sorry about the rant. I just want this to be over.

"there is a notation on your file on February 19, 2016 that confirms all documents requested have been received. Currently your file is waiting for review. You will receive instructions from them by letter as to next steps.
In the meantime, we urge you to apply for an extension of your Visitor Visa."
How nice of the CIC to put a notation of a received document one year after it was received. But at least that's something positive I guess.
I really wanted to avoid having to extend my visitor visa, but I'll just have to get on it.
I keep getting this feeling that Canada doesn't want me and if it wasn't for my husband, I'd be going back to the UK.
But we're actually back on track, so hey, let's be optimistic!
Sorry, everyone.

Immigration, Diversité et Inclusion Québec - Undertaking application
Once QC approves the application, they supposedly transmit approval automatically to CIC; HOWEVER, this process doesn't always work
. So once you get approval & CSQ from Qc, it's a good idea to transmit a copy of each to CIC yourself.Approximate processing times are posted on the Immigration QC website, but as it's down/up/wobbling all over the place at the moment, I can't give you a link, sorry

Thank you for your reply,
The office that is now processing the application is London, so do i need to send a copy of the papers to London or Mississauga? Also on what address should i transmit the documents?

Once you receive approval/CSQ from MICC, use the CSE route to send copies to CIC.
