Family class immigration

For all ...


Hi!
I'm a canadian landed immigrant and I applied for my baby( born in the US) and my mother's immigration in Canada. My sponsorship application has been approved for both of 'em. I received my son's file no. on August 19th but I haven't received even the file no. for my mother.
I like to ask how much time will it take for family class application to get thru. Is it the same as in independent class or is it less?
And one more thing... as my sponsorship appl has been approved, does that mean that they will get the immigration for sure or are there still any doubts?
Please do reply.
Thanks
 
Sorry,

I think I missed this thread first time.

I have sponsored my Mother and Brother. It is nearing completion. It would have been completed if we had not made the mistake of doing Medicals too early. The medicals expired and we had to do it again. Waiting for the final decision by December end.

I applied for the 1st part (to prove that I can support them) in end of August, 2001. That was approved by December, 2001. Then My mother /Brother applied for Immig under family class. We got the letter of acknoledgement in January. Then we got couple of requests for Fingerprinting and police clearance certs for my mother. This seems to have caused the delay as when the background clearance was done, the medicals expired (august, 2002). So one Lady called us from CIC and said we need to go and do medicals else she will close the file by December 15.

So you see if things had gone properly, it would have taken about 1 year.

Fax them a letter requesting your Mothers file number.

The last question yo asked:

No it is not 100% sure that they will get the immigration. But very likely. Medical problems can delay it. Especially for older people they ask to go for additional tests.
