This is what mine said for the first few days after I got sponsorship approval. After a week or so more stuff appeared, like my address and the status of the application. So I say just wait a week or so and it should show more! :)
hello nessa!

mine on the other hand said that application received with the corresponding date that the cic received it, that is on the very day that we received the approval email, then a week after.. which is the other day, they added medicals received. Maybe in the coming weeks additional information will be added? what do you think? Thanks for sharing your updates.. at least I know what to expect and what else should I looked for.. :)

I sent my application without option C cause I didn't have them at time, but a letter was sent to CIC explaining why I didn't have them included in the application ,

I am pretty sure If its needed, they would sent the application back stating incomplete, thats what my immigration agent told me
hope this helps

Just got an update from e-cas stating that the "Medical Report has been received". Usually, at that point, does it mean that my application is already in New Delhi and they are working on it?

hello there cobra..

you received which email the AOR or the APPROVAL? Because the only time you will be able to log in to your ecas is when you have already been approved.I meant once your sponsor as you mentioned was your husband is already approved to sponsor you. I also tried to log in the moment we received the AOR before, funny too excited.. it did not work either.I would suggest that you double check it first.. Hope I was of help. :)

ATTENTION PLEASE :-[ :-[
anyone who got sponsorship approval without providing option-c printout ??? ??? ??? ???
do they request option-c later if you dont submit with your application?
or they send application back??
im worried bcoz i didnt submit option-c :'( :'(
What's option-c again? If it has anything to do with medicals, you MUST submit that in ASAP, if you have not already! Anything other than that, you can send later on- perhaps before they request the document or after. You should just go ahead and send it in now, with a cover letter- with both your and your spouses full name, address, email, phone number, etc!

option C is not a requirement because not all people have it, if u don't have it, u can send a letter explaining why. Like for my case, I just arrived here in Canada and the time I submitted our application I don't have a job yet coz I just arrived a few days before sending it in. Thus, no income yet, so no taxes yet, so no option C. I'm just sponsoring my spouse btw, so no minimum income requirement. But I did submit an explanation stating my case and I told them I have been applying for jobs, I sent emails showing that I am sending out resumes, letter of explanation on how I plan to support myself for the meantime, if u have savings in the bank then maybe a bank statement, letters from my relatives that they will let me stay with them free of board and lodging and food, letter of support from my parents and my husband's parents stating that they will help us out financially in the event that it will take some time for me to land a job. But anyway, i found a job two weeks ago and I plan to send an update to them showing an employment certificate just to cover my bases that there will be absolutely no issues with sponsorship approval.

Dear ashunandal
from my personal knowledge option C makes things easier for them to find out whether the sponsor has filed for bankruptcy or not / on welfare or not. That's all that matters to them .


also a bank account statement, rental agreement, a job offer, would be great,

cheers

thanx mehdir
I sent a letter explaining why I dont have option-c stating that I have not filed my taxes for last 2 years and that I am out of the country for the last one year. I also said that I have savings ($300 000) in my Canadian bank accounts and sent all my bank statements showing some investment and interest income so I am not eligible for welfare anyway. I also need a letter from my university to file my taxes and i said i will handle my taxes when i get back to canada.
best of luck!

hi myboo.. I think that is not true.. or it is not a factor whether your partner/sponsor is a canadian citizen or a PR. i think as stated in this forum and from those that i read.. plus those that i know personaly.. as long as your application provides enough informations and that it shows how genuine your relationship is. the processing time will be shorten, I know a friend of my husband whose partner was able to have his visa in just 3 months. lucky them..
