lucky duck!! congratulations!! :D

which visa office were you sent to, CamL?

ah, gotcha.. yeah, so far there is only Sarim and me who are at LVO from June, and we are both In Process. there are a few coming up from the end of June so we'll see what happens when they get SA.

is it possible it's stayed in Mississauga but i was told London? that would be awesome, but the letter i got giving me SA says London, so i don't want to get my hopes up! and yes, i do see that London is moving - i'm watching both the thread and the spreadsheet like a hawk ;) but i'm also on...

thanks for the info!

hahah sorry, i'm still getting the hang of the abbreviations ;) passport request vs exempt from passport request.. or is that a thing? i may have misunderstood and gotten exempt from passport request confused with visa-exempt..? but basically i'm asking if he is likely to have his passport...

sorry to ask a question that may have already been discussed, but with 1900+ pages of awesome information in this thread, there's no way i could find this answer! :) what is the criteria for PPR vs PP exempt? my husband is from Scotland - is he likely to have PPR?

i think he was referring to the fact that the June 2015 applicants, like me, went directly from sponsor DM to applicant In Process within days on ECAS.. literally, my application was received June 4, i got my DM on August 5, and on August 6 the applicant portion changed to In Process. in fact...

AOR = Acknowledgement of receipt SA = Sponsor approval ECAS = i don't know what the letters stand for, but it's the website where you can check the status of your application DM = Decision made COPR = Confirmation of permanent residency - the end goal! the London office says 28 months, but...

don't scare me, Andrew-Brit ;) yes, it's already showing In Process.. i called CIC to make sure the website wasn't glitching and the agent assured me the site was fine.. i'm prepared to hear that they jumped the gun and for them to change it again, but as it stands it is officially in...

how do i update the spreadsheet with my SA and PR In Process status?

FYI for those of us who chose email correspondence - ECAS will change to show DM before you receive an email. my DM came on Wednesday morning and my email came Thursday afternoon. the email specifically said i wouldn't be getting a letter in the mail. also, when ECAS updated, it showed DM had...

i have now spoken with 2 CIC agents, and they both emphasized to me that the 28 months shown for the London office is an average.. 1 of them went further and said, "straight-forward cases are nowhere near that long". i don't know what that means in terms of months, and i don't know the...

my ECAS page didn't change to DM until August 5, but it says that the decision was made on July 30... why do they wait so long to update the site?? don't they know we're all sitting here on pins and needles?!? ??? i called to find out if i had SA as soon as i saw the update, and the agent was...

hey everyone! i'm finally ready to post on this board!!! please add me to the spreadsheet - my application was received in Mississauga on June 4, in process on July 10, DM on July 30 (i have not received my letter yet but was impatient enough to call CIC and got verbal SA confirmation ;) )...

thanks, Kettle! :)

so you were all correct and i was worrying for nothing, because......... i got my SA today!!!!!! this is what i've looked like all day: :D

congrats to everyone who got great news today!!! my ECAS changed to DM this morning, so i called and got an AWESOME agent (Elizabeth) - and she confirmed my SA!!!! hooray!!! ECAS said my notice had been sent out on July 30, and i had requested email correspondence - but i haven't received an...

the Sponsorship Application Status is the 1st part (SA - when they determine you are eligible to sponsor) and the Permanent Residence Application Status is the 2nd part (the eventual CORP, once it is all approved! when they determine that your spouse is eligible to immigrate). the part where it...

i do a very similar type of job to the CIC agents on the phone, one where callers are given a rough timeline of when to check back for updates on their case. there is a particular time of day when callers will be more likely to get an update. it baffles me that i am the only person in the...
