I don’t think I get which is Ecas and which is GCkey. Why are there two? Do you need to set up both?

I see that someone already replied to you. Just to clarify something tho, you have to use the sponsor's info for ECAS while you need the PA's info to link with GCKey. You don't need an account for the former, but you do for the latter. Both the sponsor and the PA can access both ECAS and GCKey. There's no restriction on that. Just log-in using the account that was linked with the application.

I was told to provide the passport name sree. Unfortunately that is the name I'm stuck with here in Australia. They wouldn't let me change my name without changing my birth certificate because I was married in canada. But I'm not changing my birth certificate. So I'm stuck with my first marriage name for now. I figure I will be able to change my last name once I get my pr

Yea. You should be able to change your last name once you get here in Canada. :)

Hi! This is my second time submitting the application, after it got sent back in July, now decided to apply Outland. Sent July 31th and received August 3th. Good luck to all!
Hi wld you mind telling me when did you first send your application and when did you get it back?because mine im missing to manually sign the schedule A too it might get it returned
 
Hi guys ive spoken to an agent just now my application was recieved aug 20 and the agent told me its already in the system but she is not sure if it already complete.I did ask if there is tendency to get it returned she said yes.
 
I called IRCC earlier to check for any updates and the agent told me that CPC-Sydney is doing up to July 10 applications now. I'm hoping to hear some good news for our application very soon.

If anyone is interested, here is the list of Facebook groups that relate to spousal sponsorship:
  • 2017-2018 Canada Spousal Sponsorship on Facebook (mostly Philippine applicants)
  • Applying for PR Common-Law/Spousal Canada
  • Canada Spousal Sponsorship Support Group
I just called it just now and the agent said july 24 applicants are on process and its already october you post was like sept 7 they're kinda slow

I was wondering if the distance we live would effect the application. But clearly not. Nice too know nieghbour

That's really weird. I know a bunch of people with July 25 and later applications already receiving AOR, MR, and SA. Those agents must have outdated info or something.

Actually yes! a lot of people of having this problem. you can read the posts on July page and see you are not alone:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...outside-of-canada.564657/page-67#post-7290985

But you can call them and see if there was any problems there.
 
After dialing 10times and waiting on hold for about 30mins I spoke to an agent and was not very helpful at all :(

We sent in our application Aug 12 and from my Ems tracking there was no confirmation that it was or was not received. So I called CIC hoping I might get an answer if they have received my mail but the agent would only say that they are working on July 24 applications. She said there was no way to check as there are no applications being opened after July 24, which is BS because many people from this site are already getting AOR way past this date.

It’s just frustrating to have to wait and see if we have to start a new application or what?

I honestly don’t care if it takes 6-12months but the least they could do is check if our mail was received!
