| Yeah, I believe so, too. Not same as the caregivers who have dependendants though... and if i'm not mistaken, you'll have your PR in 6 months. I'll have my AIP and OWP in 6 months (provided everything goes well)... It's interesting. |

| Do you not have a work permit at the moment? Did you have a work permit when you applied? Are you still working where you used to? I'm not sure if it works to be under implied status with you. I know I will be under implied status after December 15th. I'll still be working for the same employer. CIC requested for a letter from my employer that i'll still be working for them, and that's enough for them at the moment. What are you nervous about? Maybe we can figure it out here and by calling CIC... this way you'll rest better at night. |

| Well, I think you misunderstood him, though. CIC is working on those apps received up to May 19th. THOSE applications will receive AIP (first stage of approval soon). That does not mean that your application has not been opened yet. They opened my a month after its receipt. So, it's probable they will open yours soon, as well and then it will take a few months before you can get your first stage of approval. Wait for another week or so before you can check your E-CAS again. |

I hope they process it as soon as possible. Well the good thing is that processing time on CIC website reduced to 6 months from 6-7 months. |

Sometimes, during the summer time, the agents go on vacation, so when fall comes they're left with all these applications. I mean it's just like any other office, right?! So, we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. AND wait

Lots of spammers and in-fighting. Here if one sent a spam, IP gets banned. If there is abusive post, abusive post gets removed/moved from the thread. So cleaner and better forum altogether. We can still read the old posts and if you've been part of a "thread topic" you can email the "friends/members" who were part of that thread so they can join you here. |

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum.
We submitted out spousal sponsorship application in September 2009, but Im not sure how to check the status on ecas (my husband doesn't have a client ID that he knows of). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can also check your E-CAS by using your payment receit number. Here is the link you go to to get to E-CAS: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas If you don't show on E-CAS, it's possible that they haven't opened your application yet. Also, you can call CIC and they will guide you and let you know for sure if you are there or not. ------------- Application sent: September 17th, 2009 Application received: September 18th, 2009 Started processing application: October 26th, 2009 Decision made: March 17th, 2010 |

Thank you Carmenuta,
I took your advice but it seems that they have not yet begun processing our case *sigh*. I know everyone's case is different, but what do people feel the "average" timeframe is for an inland spousal sponsorship?
I also sent in an application for an open work permit, any ideas on the timeframe for that one as well? My application was received in Vegreville the second week of October if that makes any difference...

Hi, lizzard! Interesting nickname, by the way... To be honest, I'm not in that program but I remember talking to someone who was in your specific program and he told me that from the time he applied to the time he got his PR it was 6 months straight. That was a while ago, not too long ago... but still. I think with your program things move faster, especially if your paper work is flawless. As far as the open work permit... I don't have info on that. We should take the CIC's site info for real. It is true. I'm expecting mine to arrive at the end of January if things keep going the way they are right now. And yes, if they haven't started processing your application then you probably won't show on E-CAS just yet. Don't worry. At this time (if you know for a fact, CIC got your application), no news IS good news :-). That's all I can say for now! Take care! ------------- Application sent: September 17th, 2009 Application received: September 18th, 2009 Started processing application: October 26th, 2009 Decision made: March 17th, 2010 |

Hi, I'm new here. I applied under spousal category- inland. We sent the documents in Vergeville September 4th, received September 8th, opened October 5th. I got the Client ID number after calling the call center couple of times and talking to different operators. Obviously all the operators are not informed the same. I was informed that they'll start working on the application in 5-6 months, but got no info what that means and what exactly happens in 5-6 months. Meanwhile I received my visitor's visa extension (yey! :-)). With the application I sent an application for open work permit as well. When do they approve the open work permit? Can someone explain what happens in those 5-6 months? Thanks! ------------- PR card holder since June 2010 |

As far as I am aware, for those 5-6 months they sit in a que, after which when they catch up to the date in which they received your application they will then start to process it. Once the application is approved in principle, IE they have checked all the paperwork is correct (the same as what happens in ON when it goes through an outland application) then if all is well they will deal with the work permit. It is then a matter of sit and wait again until the full application is finalized (the same as what happens when they application has gone to the regional embassy in an outland application). ------------- "Will this matter a year from now?" Probably, this is gonna be a one hell of a long journey. |

Redeagle, thanks for the reply. I have 2 questions: 1. Do you have any information how long does it takes Vergeville after those 5-6 months to finalize the process, if everything is ok with the documents? 2. Again, if everything is ok with the documents, do they easily issue Open Work Permit, or they may ask for more documents (or even deny me for work permit)? The waiting is so annoying and I'm even at the beggining :-) ------------- PR card holder since June 2010 |

After the 5-6 1st stage of approval, it could be 3, 4 ,5 or 18 months, it all depends on background checks and u may ask how long is backgrounds checks. well it could be from 1 month to 18 months.. so if u lucky and u pass the 1st stage and they issue u with a work permitafter say 1-2 months, then PR could be any moment from there(2 - 18 months)
Again if everything is ok, they will process the work permit after the 5-6 months so after that the work permit comes to you say 1 - 2 months..
good luck

Immigration takes up to 5 years normally... so this is piece of cake. What... work here for 2 years and then another year for finalizing of papers... that's not bad at all, considering you're keeping busy. So, chin up and don't get discouraged everyone. ------------- Application sent: September 17th, 2009 Application received: September 18th, 2009 Started processing application: October 26th, 2009 Decision made: March 17th, 2010 |

WOW!! So we got 3 letters: 1. Work permit 2. sponsorship approval... and... 3. letter that says: "we are pleased to advice you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada immigration center in Scarborough will contact you concerning your permanent resident status." They'll call me for an appointment and I have to bring my passport. Then a final decision will be made. I'll be getting the PR card veryyyy soon!!! Wow, this was a quick process- 5 months from opening my application in October. I hope it won't take them too long to call me :-))) I guess they are working :-) This is a hope that many of you soon will receive the same letters.

Dpausuri, I haven't gone outside Canada because you are not suppose to. You won't be admitted in Canada. I wouldn't do it and jeopardize the application. Though, I've heard of people doing it, the problems and the stress were too big. They can cancel your whole application. Be careful. :-)

Sweet! Congratulations, Shortie!! :-) I'm glad I hear people are finalizing the process. Where did you land? I guess your office didn't have a lot of applicants. You should have seen Scarborough! Packed! I was wrong, mine was 8 months too. Pretty quick, I expected to be dragged at least year and a half. When did they tell you to expect receiving the PR card? Oh, and one tip for everyone for the OHIP- I have to tell what happened to me. Right after getting the Permanent Residency I went to Service Ontario to apply for OHIP. For that they needed my address, so they asked me for driving license which I don't have. So I gave my documents from Immigration- the approved PR and SIN document where the address was stated. These documents were not accepted and they asked for bank statement!!! Now I have to wait a whole month until I get Bank Statement (so far we were using Internet banking). The story is that Service Ontario doesn't trust the documents from Immigration Canada. Go figure! ------------- PR card holder since June 2010 |

I landed in Windsor Ont. I was told 4 - 6 weeks for my PR Card. I already have a temporary SIN and can't change that until I get my PR Card. As regards OHIP, I already registered when I got my work permit and have just 23 more days to wait until I'm eligible.
It was one year ago yesterday that I arrived in Canada for good - PR is sorted and I have a great job already - everything is good!!

Today I received my Permanent Resident Card. It was exactly 8 weeks
since the landing. For the entire process took me 11 months (from
sending the files to getting the card). I'm wishing everyone a lot of luck and the application procedure to go smooth as mine. I'll stay active on this forum for some time if anyone has questions. ------------- PR card holder since June 2010 |
