February 2012 Applicants - Join here!

[canadiangirl78]

Any news??I am getting so anxious for them to finally get to march!

I was APPROVED! Whoooo hoooo!!! The approval for my February 21 application was last Wednesday and I know earlier February applicants haven't heard anything yet but some officers are getting close to March!

She said AOR is by email and approval is usually by mail. Not really true but anyway I can't wait to get my letter! Maybe today.

Congrats Canadiangirl78!!! Did you just call the CIC call center to find out this? Good to know their officers are on different processing times... Since your app was filed on Feb 21, I am hoping they would be getting closer to my application as they received mine on Feb 24th.

You should be fine FS. They are very picky about the additional family members document because of future sponsorship. But that is the only document commonly requested.

Well, she did sign saying there are no kids. So they are indeed way too "rigid" or strict about a word NONE... :\

Good Morning All,

I am a new comer to this forum! I have submitted my wife's sponsorship application on Feb 2012 and the case processing center in Mississauga received it on Feb 24 2012. I still have not yet received any acknowledgement letter or email. As many people said already in the forum the CIC's "Application Processing Time" page is almost useless as they simply just update the "updated" date and don't change the "Processing" date for the applications... Since it has been nearly 90 days now I am starting to worry what's going on with my application. Do people normally receive the acknowledgement (AOR is it?) through email or snail mail?

I got mine through e-mail and my waiting time was 104 days. 90 days is still 2 digits, and they're working on Feb 13 or so at this point. Feb 24 is about 1-2 weeks away. Take care!

This is also very frustrating because if she doesn't get approved in the 3-month margin, she will be requested a medical (she did hers in September) so that will add even more possibility to loss of forms and application rejection if some deadlines we'll never know about will be met. :\ It's rather doubtful she'll ever get a mail with the request for a new med check in the place she lives...

Yes you will be close, don't worry. Most people don't get an AOR and might have to wait for a letter to arrive via snail mail. So you could be worried even though you've already been approved!

Yes I did call. I had a UCI number from my AOR email.

I realize that. But the problem is she could have signed by accident just because there was a spot for a signature. So they need confirmation that there are no children. Because if you missed something and signed by accident and you had children - they would NEVER be allowed to be sponsored. So that is a big deal and the officers are actually doing a good thing to make sure there are no children.

Thank you FS! It does feel good. Even though we are only six days closer to the PR, I finally feel like it is within reach. It should be in Mexico soon!

Congrats to you! This will give hope to others as Feb 22 is only 8 days away from March! And that was last week so they should be past Feb 22 already.
