generally, once the sponsor receives the letter confiming eligibility, they will not be contacted any further. after SA, CIC will most likely contact the APPLICANT. Ottawa does not send confirmation their appliction has been received. The first time CIC will contact an applicant is when they need further information or their passport request. it is quite common to not be notified CIC received any receipt or information sent, and it's not guaranteed your application status will be updated in ECAS. Right now, all you can do is wait until CIC contacts the applicant, and not assume anything about anything.

Thank you rhcohen2014, any idea on current timelines?

If it's being processed in Ottawa, it's about 4-5 months. Some people have been going through as quickly as 3 months, for my husband it took about 4 once his application got to Ottawa.

the ottawa spreadsheet is in my signature below, and will be able to show you the "trends" for 2014 applicants.

Note that these timelines are mostly for US citizens. If you are applying from the US but is not a citizen (green card, student or work visa), then your timelines will most likely be longer. Also, Ottawa is processing applications transferred from other overloaded VO's and those applications will not likely be in the "fast tracked" 3-6 months timelines.

Do you know how long it takes from the status change to decision made on the website?? Mine just changed yesterday. And my mailing address is new York. They never asked for my interview and passport though.

Last six months all they asked are my sponsor's tax return lease and ownership of properties to check if my sponsor really live in Canada. On our note officer suspected that my sponsor lives with me in new York because I live with my sponsor's family. Maybe new applicants should be careful with that...I thought mentioning it would help us but backfired us

the ottawa spreadsheet will be able to show you the trends. it can range from days, to weeks, to months. if your status changed to DM without an interview or PPR, that most likely means your COPR is in the mail. it's quite typical for Ottawa to waive passport requests. be on the lookout for a brown envelop from CIC in regular mail. it took 5 days for it to get to me in CT.

In my GCMS notes, the status for eligibility assessment is "Recommended Pass" and I have the following message in the most recent note section:

Following docs received as SPR's proof of residency: - SPR's residency in CDA: Residential Agreement beginning 2014/07/24 on a month-to-month basis - cannot provide tuility bills since they are paid by the landlord
-employement letter for a work at home tech consultant position starting 2014/07/28
-google search performed, company found
file passed to vo for review

What's the chance that the vo will not let me pass ? :-[
and I also wanted to ask, does the eligibility assessment also considers "genuine relationship"? Since there were only three sections in the GCMS notes: eligibility assessment, security assessment, and criminality assessment, I figured eligibility assessment is where they will assess the genuineness of the relationship, is that correct?

any thoughts guys?

out of curiousity, are you a us citizen or in the us on a visa?

I was in the US with F1 visa until last may. After that I just came to Canada to live with my spouse since my country is eligible for visa exempt entries. at the border, I just told that i am here to see my wife. The officer asked her occupation. that was it.

My application took about 13 months.

any thoughts guys?

I also had a problem with SPR's proof of residency. CIC requested tax return and lease or ownership of property.
