If anyone here is getting near/at the official processing time for SA, don't worry. They didn't approve mine until 51 days after they received my application and they didn't send an email until a week later, which had the wrong SA date as a result.

If you're having trouble accessing your eCAS and you're over the 43 day time, go ahead and call 1-888-242-2100 and press 2>1>1>0 to get to a representative and let them know you can't access the sponsor's side of your eCAS and you'd like to check the status of your application. Please note that if you log in with the applicant's information, then it's normal not to see the sponsor's side.

CPC-M seems to be backed up and unreliable right now, so hang in there if you're still waiting ;D.

Have you tried calling/having your sponsor call? CIC has been sending out emails/letters for SA later than they are actually approving the sponsor right now and there was just a big batch sent out. You should be hearing something within the next couple weeks.

That's too bad. I think CPC-M is just being slow about entering information into peoples' eCAS accounts. The sponsor's side likely won't say anything beyond "in process" anyways though. I haven't seen anyone update to "decision made" on their SA side. I think you'll likely get the SA email in the next batch ;D. Mine came a week late.

As far as I know that's the only number that exists for the call center. I've heard some people have had luck calling outside of Canada by using google hangouts/skype/other online calling/messenger services. Technically, people who live outside of Canada aren't supposed to call the center at all, but I think that's unfair.

Now that my PA side has been "in process" for a few days I'm started to get anxious again, hah. I can't help but wonder how much of my application they have actually worked on yet, who is processing it, what they think of our relationship, etc.
