Hello everyone, just wanna ask the timeline from receiving AOR1 to SA then to AOR2? Am I on the right status order? I am little confused. Please help!:) One more thing, when your application is in "In Process" status, does it mean everything is complete and has a big chance for approval? I really don't know if I am excited, nervous or just going crazy waiting for the reults... haha! I know you guys understand the feelings. Good luck everyone and God bless us all. ;D ;D ;D

Hey dont worry you are on the right track and it will come just a time taking process which starts to test the nerves. Currently looking at July and August applications it looks like the SA comes 5-10 days after getting your AOR1, so fingers crossed and hope we all get it soon. :p

Hello, got SA last Sept. 26. On ECAS cant access sponsor side. I only see the applicant status and it says. Application received. And medical result received.
Last Sept.6 , i was able to link our application on MyCIC, but after AOR1 and SA , it appears that no information available. Also my husband received an email stating that we have a refund of 300. And we are wondering why? We paid 1340, since we have 2 dependents. I emails IRCC and no reply yet.

Oh I know what you mean lol.. it was driving me nuts that I couldn't access ECAS but as you know, there isn't much info there anyway.

If you are the sponsor, you can order the notes written by the visa officers on your application, there might not be much but you'll know if they've flagged anything or even in what stage your application is at? Not sure, if you've seen this thread, if not, go through it, it has really useful information. You'll get an idea what ATIP or GCMS notes are and how you can order them:

Fair enough. Thank you so much for your help!

I hope this would not affect those - like myself -who are still waiting for SA, but the processing time for the assessment of sponsor has just jumped to 32 days (instead of 29 previously) for the "Spouse or common-law partner living outside Canada" (Mississauga). :'(

Your total fees should come to $1040 CAD so the $300 refund is because you overpaid for some reason...I don't think you pay extra for dependents?

This happened last week too and they changed it to 29 days again. I don't think, this will affect you. Based on your timeline, your file is already under review, so you should hear something soon :)

We applied Ouland Aug 10. AOR1 & SA have been received.

My common law partner is from USA, I was under the impression that by applying Outland it gave us the freedom to travel. I was mistaken, apparently. Recently took a trip to Jamaica and received nothing but trouble at both borders Canada and Jamaica). On our way back home today, hoping for no serious hiccups as we try to get back home. But yeah, apparently you're not supposed to travel while waiting for PR. Just thought I'd share that bit of information.
