hi all

I got a email from CIC. i dont know what is it?
please help me.

Dear ....
This refers to the application to sponsor a member of the family class you submitted to this office on behalf of ..... and family (if applicable).

This is to acknowledge receipt of your sponsorship application and to advise that your file is presently pending review by an officer. you will be contacted in the future if further information is required or as soon as the decision on your application is finalized.

why my file is pending? or is it SA ?
Sounds like an AOR to me? I wouldn't be worried

Nice information. Is sponsor is able to link his/Her part of application to my CIC ? If yes how to link sponsor?
TORONTO134 said:
I see many members have access to only applicant's information and no access to sponsor's info through GcKey login option. I have a different thing going on with mine..... 8) I always have complete access to whatever account/email etc my husband can ever make. So I get a double dip n check his side of the processing all the time ;D


1). Using "Check your application status" online tool:

First I put the application number, my(sponsor's) last name and Date of birth+Country of Birth and I see that I have submitted application to sponsor my husband. It shows when application reached, when it started processing and when correspondence was sent. Also shows medical passed

Second time I put Same application number, my husband's(applicant's) last name and Date of birth+Country of Birth and I see that his permanent residence application was received. It shows when application reached, when it started processing and when correspondence was sent. Also shows medical passed

2). Using an online account by making a GcKey and linking the online application to the account:
I made one account for me and my husband has another GcKey login(which I access ;) )
I linked the application to my account and it shows his application as well as details of when I became a citizen many years ago. It shows a table after I click "submitted application and messages". It shows that my eligibility is "review in progress" and medical Passed etc.

When I login through my husband's Gckey, There is no details of such sort.

I figured that we were able to link application to only 1 account (Either sponsor's or applicant's account). It was linked to mine and then we searched application again by his login and linked it to his account. After that I had no access to the application's updates through my GCkey login. I again logged in into my account and searched it again and linked it to my account. Then I checked that it was transferred to my login and he didn't have access to it through his login. Eventually I chose to keep it with my account as it showed more details plus info about sponsor ;D

We always have a big laugh about playing football with linking application and checking it all the time :p I feel CIC might block us frm accessing info ;D Watever the case is....its my new addiction till I get SA ;)

Thought I'd share an update: my app was received on Aug 19, AOR1 on September 16th, and it says Decision Made on eCAS as of today for the sponsor application.

I know my app hasn't been sent to Ottawa yet, as I called to check on this. I had also received a notice on Saturday afternoon saying that there was an update in MyCIC (linked), even though I still don't see anything different there... Looks like things are chugging along, hopefully normally?

Our timeline is the same from the time the application was filed up to every update. It looks like we have the same officer. In ECAS it already said Decision Made but no SA email yet. Hopefully, we receive SA email today or tomorrow.
