Landed on 15/11/2012. Awaiting COPR
Its been 93 days since I mailed my application, i've seen that some people have not got any news and its been well over 100 days. I'm getting very anxious, it might be time to ring them on Friday...so frustrating! Good luck to all those waiting. :'(

Okay, thanks for the reassurance!

@Herjeet

I think it's been over 90 days for us (92?), but for all we know they may already have approved us and sent a letter per snail mail. I believe some people only receive a physical letter (no e-mail), so it could be that they're already approved you! Don't despair yet!

Depends on the visa office that deals with your home country. Where does the principal appilcant live?

Lucky you!! New Delhi is usually super quick at 2nd stage processing!! Maybe only a couple weeks to a month? Depends on how straight forward your case is.

I have been getting lots of advice and tips from this forum but never registered or wrote anything. Now I just want to let all the anxious February applicants know that we received the sponsor approval today! :D Missisauga received our application on February 14th. Now it's up to London and I hope it doesn't take too long.

Good luck everyone!

Congrats!!! :)

I hope we get our approval letter in the mail today. It's been almost two weeks since they mailed it. I'm worried we won't get it.

Good Day All,

I just got the approval letter today dated May 23, 2012. No, I didn't get any email from them. My application was received by CIC on Feb 24, 2012. Woohoo... I am so happy!! Finally after 3 loooonnnngggg months a news to share! The letter states that "I have met all the requirements" to sponsor my wife and the application has been forwarded to New Delhi office... I wonder how long it will take now?

Btw... just to recap an old discussion... I did not put "NONE" under children section in the "Additional Family Information" form.
