No way!!!??!! I'm sitting here thinking I didn't get aor1 and didn't get sa yet. My application is doomed!! I am totally going to call Cic today just to confirm that! Don't want u guys to think I don't believe you just don't want to have my hopes up and then be told things aren't happening with my app! But wow that is crazy!!
It's a good idea to call and confirm ;D. They might be able to tell if if/when any correspondence was sent too or a window of when to expect them to send it.

Same here my Application was received on April 20,2016. I called on June 13,2016 and the lady told me your SA is been approved and you will be getting an email soon . I dont know what she meant by soon i never got anything . Nothing on my Ecas status and PA applicant status. You know when your status or pa status got updated but she told me you been approved as a SA

I'm getting very worried now.. My app was recieved April 26 and up till now I have not gotten SA.. My major concern is that I can't even access sponsors side of Ecas, I can only access PA side

I wouldn't worry just yet, hang in there. SA took 51 days for us. I didn't find out until day 54 and we didn't receive the email til day 58 or so. Some people's approval have taken longer. The issue with the sponsor's side of eCAS also seems to be very common right now.

I would suggest calling the CIC. If you've already called, call again.

Thanks Decoy for the response.. I will give them a call on Friday... I answered a question on one of the form incorrectly and I sent them a case specific enquiry about 2weeks ago,they emailed me back letting me know that they have attached my corrected form to my application, do I still need to mail the form to CPC or there's no point since they have confirmed by email that they recieved me enquiry and they have attached it to my application

No, there's no point. I did the same thing (but via email) before SA and I didn't even send an electronic new copy of the form, I just explained the mistake I made. They never asked for an electronic or physical copy and I already have DM for the PA side.

Have fun in Vancouver! It's been very chilly here today and hasn't been super hot in a little while. I think it was about 13C today where I am specifically at least.

that was a useless call! hate how they don't even bother to give any info. They don't ask for the receipt number or anything. they don't even bother to look into their system. i told the agent that the processing time has passed but he said thats just an average you just have to wait. when they decide they will contact me by email. He didn't say that if it says in process that it means I received SA it just means its being processed. Gave pretty vague answers. Irritating how rude they can be! they are there to do their job and let us know right especially when we wait the number of days it says on the website. if its an average then at least give a range on how many days we have to wait. :mad:
