Will you put to 2016-11? I meant you can put present and date the form as XX NOV 2016. It will still have the same meaning. I don't know which one may be better.

Logically these info i.e. personal history, address are filled up to the application date for all applicants. I am not sure why they want it till Nov 2016?!

no they didn't say anything because background check and interview is totally different process. I cant put " present " becosue it is not present for me : )
there is a 6 months gaps in my personal history section that's why they ask it again but. it is obvious that I was studying at a university and on a study permit which was provided. so whats big deal with 6 months gaps eh ? (oh I am already Canadian I guess :))

there is a 6-month- gap in my personal history record; they want details on it. but that time I was a student it is obvious; I sent the study permit already but not enough . I have to fill the form out again with no time gaps.

Hi All,
I wonder if you have any clue about this... We got our second set of GCMS NOTES, right at the top under APPLICATION section a little bit down between Correspond Language and Group# there is this section SPECIAL PROGRAM...
In our first set of notes there was nothing mentioned next to it but the notes which we got like day before yesterday in those it was written SPECIALPROGRAM(s): OSI
Any idea what this SPECIAL PROGRAM stands for.. from what I can interpret this whole Applicatoin section at the top does not contain any decision related infromation so i am assuming whatever this it should not be alarming..
But if anybody could tell me what it is, because i did a lot of search and no luck.. by the way 3 months and counitng DM but notning so far...we did case specific too..

It's better to ask in GCMS Notes explanation thread. They know more.

Suddenly, the Sponsorship Application Status on ECAS changed from In process to Decision Made! that means the sponsor approved! then when I'll receive SA on email?

What do you mean? you mean is it quick? could be something wrong for my application?
My wife is nervous person! I'm worry about the interview! because she is not good in English and scare from all officers even in our country because of her stress.

We get married 9 months before sending our application to Mississauga but we knew each other for 7 month's before our marriage.

I got divorce from my ex-wife on April 2015! If I have been approve as a sponsor on ECAS (I did not receive my SA email yet but it is decision made) is that means they don't any problem with my divorce!? because my wife and I a little bit worried about my divorce that make our application's time longer than usual.

The Decision Made is most likely an approval, as CIC would have sent you an explanation by email in the case of a rejection of your sponsorship. :)

Hopefully your wife won't have to go for the interview! What language do you speak? Farsi? Because Ankara Visa Office conducts interviews in a few other languages other than English and French.

Hope everyone is well. NO update on my app still..Waiting like everyone else. However I just want to share what i read with everyone... Media advisory - Minister McCallum to make an announcement related to family reunification on December 7th, 10:30 am Canada time. Please tune in everyone and share the news. Hopefully, CIC will introduce implementations that help reunite families much sooner. :D
