Hey friends....I just went through the CIC website and they have updated the processing time as "43 days - Working on applications received on September 12, 2012"....

Mine was received by CIC on 15th August, 2012, but till date no approval...AOR came on 21st September, 2012....If anybody has any idea whats going on???

Definitely call CIC.....approval was probably sent via snail mail and has been lost especially if you received AOR by email ok. Have you logged onto to ecas to see what your status is.....it will probably say "decision made" and tell you when the letter was sent.

check your e-cas maybe u can find the status of your application

Mine shows like :
Sponsorship
We received your application to sponsor ---------- on August 7, 2012.

We sent you a letter on September 5, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

But havent receive any mail from them even email. I phoned CIC last friday and said I was approved to sponsor my hubby and they already forwarded to local office (Manila).

I dont even have an AOR - weird
 
Hi,

i got AOR email on 22 oct and approval email on 25 oct..but on cic website it still says application recived it does not say decision made is it normal ?

it takes couple of days after AOR. my ecas was update after 3-4 days
 
My status on Ecas is just being shown as 'Your documents were received on 15th August, 2012' thats it....nothing else....i think i should try calling the customer care to cross check the status....

What does your AOR contain ? Is it like "your application have been received... Blahblah... ? I just dont know what that AOR contains haha and wow approval after.. How did they send the approval? Thru email also?

Maybe they're still updting it or will still update it in few days in ur ecas:) tht's great if already got approval letter in just days after AOR. Got also AOR and still cant check yet on Ecas. Haha so i will try again checking next few days... Aw patience.. Goodluck.. They're sending approval letter through email only? Or they also send it through mailing address?

Hi Vkkomputers,

Is that just your AOR or the sponsor approval? If it's sponsor approval, when did u get it? If it's been a good few weeks, I'd try to call the call centre. Usually after a bit of time it will update to say "medicals have been received." Mine didn't update to this until the day I got sponsor approval, which was 10 days after I received the AOR. The only reason I'm saying this is because I have a friend who is now 6 months into process and they're ready to finalize the application, however, the Ecas never said medicals received. Thinking that this is normal because ecas is unreliable, she never said anything, and now found out that her vo either lost or never received the medicals. She had to go through this big hassle of contacting the vo, contacting Ottawa where the medicals are processed, and contacting where her partner did the medical exam.... thankfully it got sorted out, however, I guess it could have been even more of a run around!

If after you receive sponsor approval (if u haven't already), then wait a couple weeks for ecas to update... if it still hasn't updated then there's no harm in calling the call centre to see if they have the medicals, or sending an email to your vo with the email they gave u in the sponsor approval letter...

vkkomputers.....definitely phone CIC tomorrow morning and find out what is going on........being received on the 15th of August is basically your aor.....so find out why you have not received approval......good luck and I wait to hear how you make out......if you can try calling right at 8am in the morning.......
 
Definitely....even i feel like that calling the customer care is the only available option left now...as it has been a long time since we received the AOR....Hey tink23 its just an AOR as it just says that your application was received by CIC on such and such date....thats it....

Good idea to call. Since u received the AOR I bet your sponsor approval got lost in the mail or something. When u call as well, ask about the meds as it doesn't say Medical received yet. Hopefully u get good news tomorrow morning!

Hey same thing happened to me... I didn't even receive anything from CIC... but I called the call center this morning and they said I was approved as a sponsor!
