Just wondering if anyone has been aproved for sponsorship lately? When did you send you package away and when did you get your letter of aproval? I looked at a bunch of timelines on here and most were aproved in about a month. My application was recieved in Mississuaga on July 31, 08 according to the tracking number from Canada Post. I was hoping the letter would have come this week but no such luck (theres still tommorow). The processing times on the CIC website was just updated today and now it say, processing applications up to - July 31, 08 / aprox time for processing - 44 days. It also says if your application was recieved before July 31 then you can check it on E-cas but I have no luck logging in. Can you use the reciept number that is given to you from paying online? I'm wondering if anyone can give me an idea on when I might recieve my letter. Im asking because my wife will be given a temp visa when we can show the embassy in Bangkok my sponsorship aproval letter. She keeps asking me when she can come here and I keep saying I hope in 2 weeks, or I think the letter will come next week. We've been apart for 2 months and we both miss each other so much, I dont know how those of you who've been apart for a year or even more can do it.
