Thank you all my dear friends,



Hope you will get your visas soon. Just be patient. Do not send many inquiries to Damascus. Just each two months. I am sure after 7-8 months after sending RQ form, you will get it.

Nagz2207,

Do they normally give acknowledgment that your Residency Questionnaire has been received?
Because I never got one either..

Yesterday I did get this email from them (copy and pasted below)


Please be advised that we have received your sponsorship electronically; however, we have not yet received the physical file. Once we receive the application we will send an acknowledgement of receipt letter to your sponsor and commence the processing of your application.

I know Mohammad got this email but did anyone else get this as while? And Mohammad if you hear something from your MP, could you please share it.

Thanks

hanna they never sent us this e-mail. It just automatically showed on e-cas file processing one month after the approval from missisauga. The only e-mail I ever got from damascus is the one with the questionnaire . But how come they already sent you the questionnaire and haven't received your physical file yet?

Hi nagz2207,

That is the part that I am confused about. ??? I mean this email says that they will commence when they receive the file and from what I do understand it is electronic only…right??

So, will this prolong the process or is this normal? I don’t know what to do and now I am freaking out. I don’t want to contact them again at this time because I don’t want to piss them off. What should I do?

hanna, my timeline and yours are very close, but I have never received any e-mail regarding to electronic or physical !!
have you received any letter from Damascus which shows your file # ?
what is your application status in eCAS?
