Any news?? Surely more folks from February will be getting approvals this week!! At least that's the hope.

I noticed that a few people who submitted their apps around the third week of February have been approved...encouraging...

some news to share although it is not what I am expecting yet. Today my ecas status has been updated to 'application received' --- finally some move since I mailed out my application on feb 6th, (received by cic on Feb 7th). CIC has been really really slow this year!! Maybe it is my back luck! Anyway, the hope is right in front and shouldn't be too faraway

waiting.....pray.....

I am still waiting for approval but I checked e-cas with my UCI and there was a change.

When I checked it right after getting the AOR, it was just the old info from 2010. (We had to let the 2010 PR expire so this is Round 2) But now my husband's name is listed twice and it says "Application Received" under both sponsorship application status and permanent residence application status. When I click on both sections, it just says application received Feb 21.

So I am happy to see a change! But I want to see Decision Made! =) I am so nervous. We have a couple of unique complications so I will be greatly relieved when I see that I have been approved as a sponsor.

I am also seeing the new application when I login with my husband's old client ID. Just 'application received".

Nothing with the receipt number or application number though.

No news yet :-[ why does it seem that the first week of feb applicants have not heard anything, yet quite a few from mid feb have?! I hope this isn't another case of 'misplaced' applications!

I think it might also have to do with the complexity of the different cases. I assume that if all the IMM forms and supporting documents are complete, you'll get approved much faster. If there are any questions as to the IMM forms or other documents, chances are there will be some slight delays...BUT...you'll get approved as long as you meet all the eligibility criterion.

Not too many get denied for sponsorship.

I wouldn't be too worried about it...you're definitely going to be approved in the next week or two (this week or next).

Waiting is hard...it sucks...but you'll be super happy very, very soon.

Actually, not too many mid-February applicants have been approved. Only a handful. The majority of approvals from February have been from the beginning, not the middle.

Don't worry, you'll get approval this week or next...count on it.

On the british expats forum there have been I think 3-4 from mid feb approved. We have about as simple case as you can get, british husband, married, no kids, clear medical, clear police checks, etc. I guess because we are leaving in a month to move to Canada, I'm panicking a bit because I want sponsorship approved by then so they'll let hubby in!

I can respect that....and I can totally understand your anxiety...

I hope you get your approval by the end of this week or early next week!

Try not to panic...you'll definitely have your approval within a month.

Hi... I am totally new here!
So they received our application Feb 8th at 1:18am. Kind of a strange time I think receiving packages at that time.
We sent our app in a box.

Does anyone know how they feel about boxes? And I heard people from 3rd week of Feb and 1st & 2nd week of Feb have received at least an AOR. I haven't heard squat from them and when I call them I usually get the "yeah just wait, is there anything else i can help u with" reply. They're not helpful at all, and now I'm thinking they may have lost my application. :\

Any thoughts?

Thanks...
-TS...
