    Thread for 2017 - Dependent Child sponsorship Applications

    Some miracles happened to us this morning. The cic check application status page now shows "Sponsorship Application Status" as "Decision Made" instead of "In Progress". But we haven't received any email yet. Does anyone know long long it takes to get an official letter? For those who want to...

    Thread for 2017 - Dependent Child sponsorship Applications

    It took us exactly 90 days to get our AOR. That was 1 month ago. Since then, nothing. I am also very worried. I wonder what they are doing, if they are doing anything. It doesn't seem normal that so many people with June/July applications are stuck. And it seems very unfair, for some people it...

    ****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I sent my application on June 18 or so. Wednesday, September 26, I finally received the AOC through email. On it, it says they received the application on June 25. I wish it gives you some hope. I know how stressful it is. They now seem to be opening the applications around our timeframe.

    We are in the same situation. I know, this is not reasonable. It is also nearly impossible to reach them on the phone. I will remember about this at the next elections.

    Thanks for the information. The situation is really getting unreasonable. I hope someone at the government will wake up and fix the issue.

    I suggest you call them, they should be able to provide you with a temporary file number if you give them your information. If they do provide you with a temporary file number, could you share when your information was entered in the system?

    ****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    In our situation, we are adopting a child so our situation might be different than yours. Before sending the application, we needed to pay fees online and put the receipt in the envelop. On that receipt at the top, in the middle, between "Official Receipt - Recu officiel" and the bar code, you...

    ****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I suggest you call if you can. They might be able to give you a temporary file number. We send our application for the first time on June 20 and they entered the information in their system on August 30. So they were able to give us a temporary file number. But once you get the temporary file...

    What do you mean by they received it? Are you talking about the postal tracking or did you called them and they told you that date?

    ****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    No, I am not sure they lost the applications. It just happen that everyone having issues seem to have sent their application around June 20. I think you should try hard to call them and ask for a temporary file number.

    I was finally able to talk to someone at the IRCC Call Centre. Here is our situation: We sent our document to Mississauga for the first time on June 20. On August 25, we realized that they are now handling them in Sydney. On the same day, we sent the documents to Sydney thinking they might have...

    ****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I am in the exact same situation as above. Can they really have lost all our applications? We tried calling several times and we couldn't get to talk to someone. I guess we will try again.

    Where did you get your UCI number from? We did not get any. We also sent our application on June 20 to Mississauga. Nothing received yet.
