Dear geminibella,
just wanted to make some points clear.
when you log in to E-CAS with the sponsor's information using your client ID number, and when you click on where it says (sponsorship application status) and right under it you see (decision made), the information that you had is related to Mississauga part not to Damascus part, but when you click on( Permanent residence application status) and right under it it says (Application received) this information is related to Damascus .
so mine says,
Sponsorship
We received your application to sponsor *********** on November 2, 2010.
We started processing your application on November 29, 2010.
We sent you a letter on November 29, 2010 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
For me, On November 29 they transferred my application to Damascus- Syria , but that does not mean that they started processing my file in Damascus on Nov 29.
and when I click on (Application received) they wrote,
Permanent Residence
We received *************** application for permanent residence on December 6, 2010.
this is when they started processing my file in Damascus on Dec 6, 2010
thanks
