Wow! It was a busy day yesterday in Mississauga! It seems like everyone got SA except me! :'( :'( :'(

But congrats to everyone who did get SA or AOR :D

Can anyone see their address on ECAS? I can see our address now, but it doesn't have the country (only street, house number and postal code), is that correct? It kind of seems like an important part of an address!!!
Nope. You're not alone. Got my AOR but no SA yet.

I can see my full home address to the left (I,m the sponsor) and my wife's mailing address (at work) to the right. Both include city, country and postal code.

GOT SA last night!!!! :D :D :D
Hey! Congrats!
We have a similar timeline, I hope I'll get mine soon.

Just curious if you don't mind. While checking your timeline I've noticed your Med. was done 3 months before filing your app. Just wondering why.

Hey! Thank you! So excited! Fingers are crossed for you, I'm sure it will come soon!

My husband and I thought our application would be out at the end of June so at the end of my visit in May we decided to get the medical done. BUT our app took a little longer to get everything together so our app didn't make it out until the end of August. We hope that he will come before it expires at the end of May....but if not, they will tell you run and do another one so it's not a huge deal. :)

Just wanted to say thanks for all of the information on this site, it has been super helpful.

I'm a US citizen, my wife is a Canadian citizen and we are doing outland spousal sponsorship.

We mailed our package out on Aug. 25, they emailed us on Sep. 24 saying they received it, and today (Sep 27) she was approved to sponsor me and our application has been sent to CPC-Ottawa. So far, so good!

Also, is there a spreadsheet for August? I wasn't able to find one if there is.
Here's the spreadsheet!

Absolutely no information for us!! Still waiting for our SA...the call centre isn't very helpful just saying that the wait time is an "average" and we could be on the tail end, even though that 29 days is following the 80-20 rule... however they confirmed for me that there aren't any errors in the application so it isn't being sent back or anything...

Anyway... I emailed them on Friday to hope to get some more information and hopefully to get ecas to work.

Hoping for some news soon :(

Constantly checking my phone for new emails ???
