How long did it take everyone to be able to access ECAS? I was able to link my application last week but still no luck with ECAS.
You will be able to access it after you get your UCI#. If you have one already, you can try it, if not, you have to wait for your AOR1 and probably a few days later until they create and update your account.

Our UCI # for our PR application was different than our UCI number for our visitor visa extension.

I have paid the landing fee but don't know where in Sydney, Australia to send my receipt and additional evidence. My file was transferred to Sydney. Anyone knows the address from CIC in Sydney? Thanks

I am so worried guys :eek:, plz read the letter i am copy pasting down here and clarify what is it for? I received it in my (Sponsor) email. However, the letter is addressed to my husband(applicant). I am surprised why are they talking with him before updating me if I am approved as a sponsor or not :mad: I am so confused ??? Does it mean that I am approved? I don't see any status change online of any sort and didn't get SA :(


Page 1 has a foot note stating "Functionality for Sponsors does not exist at this time". :eek:

Dear _________________,
This is an automated system-generated letter to acknowledge the receipt of your application. Your
application has been assigned the unique file number indicated at the top of this letter. All your
correspondence with this office should refer to that unique file number.
This letter confirms that your Application for Permanent Residence as a member of the Family Class was
received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in
Mississauga on 29/08/2016.
Link your Paper Application to Your Online Account!
For instant email updates and more detailed, up-to-date case status, Principal Applicants1, can create an
online account. Find out how: Link your paper application to your online account.
(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/link.asp)
Once linked, you will be able to:
 view application status information about your application,
 instantly receive correspondence from the processing office, online,
 submit scanned documents, should they be requested by IRCC, online.
To link your application to your account, we will ask you specific information about your application.
Your application type is: Family Class (Spouses)
Number of family members, including primary applicant, that are part of this application: 2
For your application, we have identified that there are documents which are missing and we will request.
Please take the time to link your application so that we can quickly and efficiently ask for the documents, and
you can quickly and efficiently submit them digitally. If you have not linked your application to an online account
within 7 calendar days, we will send you an email to which you will be asked to respond via regular mail. This
will introduce delays into the processing of your application.
Note on Passports
To avoid delays in the processing of your application related to your passport, please ensure that the passport
with which you intend to travel has a validity period of at least one (1) year. If the passport is set to expire within the next 12 months, you should apply for a new passport now as a visa will not be issued on an expired,
or close to expiring passport.


Now there is no UCI Number for him. The application number is the same. We successfully linked the same application to his email account. I understood wat they meant in the letter. BUt wondering why am i not issued SA?

Does spousal approval depend on completion of applicant's documents and application? I thought SA is my test of eligibility ::)

I think, your sponsorship is approved and they are starting the processing of principal applicant's application.

Your letter above appears to be an AOR but it seems that you have received an AOR last week already. Hmm. That's strange.

I was given SA last week, and the letter confirmed my eligibility to be a sponsor and they mentioned that my file was transferred to a visa office. You can get an SA even when PA's application and documents are incomplete.

I think there's nothing to be worried about. You'll get your SA soon. I had mine exactly 29 days after I submitted my application :)

IMO, this looks like your AOR1 letter. If CPC-Mississauga received your application on Aug 29, there's little to no chance you have SA quite yet.

Our app was filed on Aug 26, and we haven't received AOR1 yet. Most of those on this Aug 2016 Outland topic that have received AOR1 as of today filed their applications on or before Aug 23.

You should see SA sometime in the next week or two.
