2015 April-Outland spousal application

[IndoCanadian2015]

Hello all,

So I just got off the phone with CIC. First agent was rude and told me to not call back until they email me!!! So I called again, another 20 mins wait, and this second agent at least was nicer and explained why he wasn't even going to even open my application. So because I submitted an inquiry last week, I have to wait for either the status on ecas to say decision made or for an email/ letter from CIC requesting more info or whatever is going on with my case. He then went on to say it could take up to 3 months for the Mississauga centre to open the "inqury" CIC Call Centre submitted. I don't understand why mine is showing just "in process" or why they can't at least take the time to open the file to check for an update. We all know they take forever to send emails

I feel so hopeless and clueless right now.

Hi LLAngel, if I were you, I would call again in a few days with the hope to get a better agent and a better answer. Also, have you filled a case specific enquiry (link below)? They say that they get back within 10 business days for case specific enquiries. 3 months wait for a reply is insane and very unprofessional. I hope you get an update soon.

Thanks so much for your support IndoCanadian2015! I really appreciate it!
I believe that CIC agents use that same form when they submit an inquiry so I'll wait until Monday and check again. Meanwhile I'm checking ECAS periodically throughout the day.

I do wish agents were a bit more sensitive instead of being rude :s

We have sent in our forms at the end of April and it was delivered around the 28-29 to the processing centre, I am trying to use the online services to check any updates and we have none :S and it says they're working on applications received on may 5th. should I be worried its starting to stress me out.

Thanks for any input appreciate it!

Did you get AOR? Confirmation of receipt via email? You need the UCI number in order to log in online and check your status.

I'm in the same boat...waiting for an answer as my status show "in process" online on ecas.

You needn't stress, but you can definitely call CIC at 1-888-242-2100 to enquire about your status as you are past the shown processing times now.

I have not heard anything and when I check online it says "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided"
... I only have a receipt for the fees I paid for the applications. I dont think I have a UCI number and not sure what an AOR is. All I know is I got a receipt number and thats what I been using the check my status online. what will happen when I hear from them will it be a letter in the mail or email?

Hi everyone! It's good that there's a forum like this where applicants can share their ideas and experiences on their applications. It is a big help especially to newbies like me.
We sent our application on April 19, 2015
Received by CIC - April 22
AOR - May 13
On process (Ecas) - May 12
Decision made (Ecas) -June 17
Received email re: SA approval and file transfer to Manila Visa Office - June 26
For now I'm waiting for their email requiring us to submit our passport. I just want to know how long it will going to take to receive their email. How will I know if they receive my application? Can I call them or just wait for their email.

Hi ellise! We have the same visa office. Looking at the spreadsheets, it usually takes another month after SA... It can be specifically diferrent with manila v.o.

Hey Manu,

Please let me know whenever your wife receives AOR2 from NDVO.

Even I haven't received any email from CIC regarding SA but I could care less about that since I already know I got approved. My main concern now is the AOR2 from NDVO office since I forgot to pay PRPF and need to pay them once NDVO requests.

Also you should post on the NEW Delhi 2015 thread too.

Hi Sugeee. Congrats! Thanks for the reply. Did the Manila VO updating their Ecas? How are we going to know if they receive our documents?
