Thanks! I thought maybe the passport request (or a rejection) would be a letter that appears in the 'application message' box, which is why I keep checking MyCIC. But it could be just an email. Hoping to get something soon.

So ECAS changed to "decision made" this morning but MyCIC is still the same (BC not applicable, final decision saying app is in progress and we will let you know... and no letter in the message box). We got the "procedural fairness" letter a little over a month ago because they did not have...

Oh, I hope that's the case! Fingers crossed.

Background check changed from "Your application is in progress. The next step is to conduct a background check" to "Not applicable" today. I've searched the boards and getting conflicting information on what that could mean. Some say it means PPR is close, others say BC still has to change to...

Thank you both for your responses! I have already drafted a response letter, but will have to go back to the notary and have a certified true copy and affidavit prepared to scan. I'm thinking to upload as a CSE as well as send by courier just in case they want originals and not scans. I really...

Hi all -- I posted this in the January 2017 outland thread, but I thought it would be a better idea to start a new thread where I could get more insight. I finally heard something from CIC, just not what I expected. My husband's application (I am the sponsor) has been processing since February...

I just had a thought -- is it possible Mississauga lost our marriage certificate, and Nairobi VO got an incomplete package? I can't think of any other reason to explain this. Also, will scans of the marriage certificate, affidavit and translation be enough for my 'response'? The original...

Hi all, I finally heard something from CIC, just not what I expected. My husband's application (I am the sponsor) has been processing since February 25, by the Nairobi VO. I received a message alert from My CIC this morning, which turned out to be a letter addressed to my husband. It said that...

Like many of you, I've been reading through old threads trying to get a sense of how long it can take for my spouse's application to be processed. But I'm seeing a huge variation in waiting times for cases, with even relatively simple cases dragging on, while others receive PPR just weeks after...

I just checked ECAS and saw a line added to my husband's permanent resident application (which changed to "in process" when I received SA on 17 February) that says: "we started processing [husband's name]'s application on February 25, 2017." I am assuming that this is basically AOR2 -- from...

I'm the sponsor. Got the email confirming SA shortly after posting! It also said that our application has been transferred to the visa office in Nairobi. Fingers crossed for not too long a wait

I have not been checking ECAS each day (I've checked the other site where I linked the application, thinking that is updated more often) and noticed today that under "sponsorship application status" it changed to "decision made" and "permanent resident application status" changed to "in...

We received AOR1 on Saturday and linked the application to my account, and today I saw that "review of eligibility" changed from "not started" to "review in progress." Hopefully I'll receive SA this week!

Got the AOR1 email today and was able to link the application to my CIC account. I wasn't expecting the email to arrive on a weekend! The application was received on January 24th. How long does it typically take for sponsor approval after receiving AOR1?

Hi all, Another lurker here who can finally join an applicant thread! I am a Canadian citizen and my husband is from Somalia, and we are both living together in Ethiopia at the moment. He works here and I am a graduate student in the US who is here for fieldwork. I have decided not to return to...
