Waaaiitaminute, are you sponsoring two spouses? ;^P

Yes, no doubt about it, we're silly people. (sigh)

I didn't post it, I just kept it going where I could. And thanks to you, my wife's passport is in the mail! 8^) I'm going to add to my website contents about this, I'm amazed that we made this mistake and hopefully we can prevent others from doing so.

Nice work, Jimmy! Thanks for posting that, you're quite right there was a request for the passport underneath the five paragraphs of irrelevant autogenerated text. My wife and I had both apparently stopped reading by that point at what seemed like a simple AOR. You'd think, given the importance...

I can believe it. We're doing it the other way, my wife's with me but no health care, no job, no ability to enrol in school....

It's all voodoo, I suggest that you do as I've done and resign yourself to not hearing and not worrying about it if possible. That's what I'm trying to do. 8^J

What a system. I don't think there's any "they" behind ECAS, it's just the various staff making entries to their internal system as they work on it. We just get a small view of that data. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to the way they do updates.

I get the sense that the conversation's mostly moved somewhere else? ;^) Good to hear that there's been some progress, somewhere. I can't answer your question, but I wonder: had you sent the medical results separately? I'm puzzled that that one item would show up by itself. As for me, I've...

"refusal", that's the word I was looking for. 8) Have a good trip!

8^O As a Canadian, I find this system a) appalling and b) embarrassing. The Japanese manage immigration better than this, and they have *zero* interest in immigrants.

Did I read on a thread somewhere that you can ask for an "administrative rejection" in US Immigration speak?

Congratulations to you both, and good luck on your life together in Canada.

Don't worry, many of us seem to go through the same maddening thing. One thing I can add about my case is that the VO in Tokyo has had our application since May 17 and only now sent the AOR. The AOR also said that they aim to complete the review within six months of "receipt". I'm hoping against...

Bit of a confusing update in the mail about twenty minutes ago. We got an acknowledgement of receipt (with the file number I needed for the access to information request last week). I say it's confusing because on the CIC website they say "We received xxxx's application for permanent residence...

Congratulations!!

Thanks for the tip. It's filed.

Same here. @enna00, you can find everyone's status in the spreadsheet in the signature of my posts. You'll see that it's a real mix. Some embassies request a passport very early, others wait. Some process quickly, some are slow. Very frequently, the applicants hear nothing during the process...

For anyone who's filed the access to information request: I've got one or two questions. For those of us sponsoring a spouse, I believe that I want to select "Visa file (information abroad)". But then I'm asked for Embassy (obvious) and "Visa file number". What's that? I have a client ID but...

Agreed. This forum has a lot of posts about exactly this same thing happening.
