They should have heard something by now - even if it's that the file has been transferred, they are currently working on apps received thru June 5

Being an inland case, they can call the toll-free CIC number to ask

Hi, a friend of mine has applied for in-land common-law sponsorship and it has been in processing since Apirl 1st, 2009. After a little more than 8 months now, the status is still the same and no update since April 1st.

Does anyone know or have any idea what this interpretation means? Any helpful tips are appericated and are there anyone one out there in the same boat as my friend?!

Won't know anything until the letter arrives - if it's the first decision made, should be AIP - but won't know until they receive the letter, although being an inland case - they can call CIC & ask

your friend should read this


Family Class Sponsorships, Appeals, and the Alternative Dispute Resolution ProcessThere are a number of family class sponsorship applications that are considered “red flag applications”, where CIC will often refuse such applications unless all of the “issues” are effectively addressed. One such case is the sponsorship application submitted under the common-law marriage rules. Although CIC makes it perfectly clear that common-law applicants may apply for sponsorship under the Family Class, the reality is they are often refused. This is a very problematic circumstance for some people, in that they are generally unaware of the almost systematic refusals that can occur if important issues are not properly addressed in the application. Even Immigration Canada’s application kits that are made available to those hoping to apply under this program, hints at this circumstance as a potential for refusal:

"Will this matter a year from now?"
Probably, this is gonna be a one hell of a long journey.
