Congrats!!!
Im getting so anxious I probably still have a weeks wait til I receive our AOR.

Yes, I completely understand the anxiety. At least the AOR means that the application is complete and nothing is missing which I was worried about. Next step waiting for sponsorship approval.

I really think I followed things to a T yet somehow I still am terrified I missed something >.< Fingers crossed.

Hello guys,

I know this is not the thread to ask some questions but I was supposedly a Feb applicant too, the only thing is me and my wife are having doubts with this 1 tricky question. Shes currently in Saudi Arabia and has a contract till August of 2014, so we we're wondering with the question "Current country of residence" will we put Saudi Arabia there? Or her Original country of Citizenship?

Received my first approval on February 28th

Thanks,

Nice! Looks like they're actively working Feb applications...staying tuned for reports from those from Feb week1. Some people say CIC is working Saturdays too! This waiting is insanity!

Oh NO! I was so relaxed! I'm going to pretend that I didn't see anything..

 

[steler]

BTW I updated all of you in the spreadsheet. This is working!

Yes they are. I received AOR email this morning, Saturday march 1. Sorry to hijack the tread, I'm a late January applicant.

Yes, you should put Saudi Arabia in this portion.

FYI, I'm now able to log onto the online services. Nothing much is noted there yet, just that my application was indeed received on Feb 4.

Given that I did my medical exam a while ago, I'll give it a few more days till I see the "Medical Results Received" on ECAS. I've read on other threads that some people have given a call to their medical office to confirm they have in fact filed the results with CIC so I'm thinking to do that in a few days.

EDIT: when I use my sponsor's UCI to access ECAS, it shows that 1) our application was received Feb 4, 2) they started looking into his application on Feb 27, and 3) the decision was made and notified on the Feb 28, which corresponds with the SA email we received. When I use the Applicants file # that was included in the SA email notice to log onto ECAS, it says 1) my application was received Feb 4 (presumably at CPC-M). Hope this helps!

Thanks for the confirmation! Since I'm bored waiting for my AOR, I've been trying to decode and 'predict' the processing times! Last week, on Feb 18, it showed Jan 19. Then on Feb 26, it showed Jan 28 (and we've seen people from week of Feb 3 getting AOR's). Is this typical? Any comments while we wait for the week to begin!? Cheers!
