I was able to call CIC today and got a few info's about my application. They said they are currently doing background check and i wont hear from them til around April 2012 for 1st stage approval. Following are the questions i asked her:
1. Is my wife approved as a sponsor? she said it comes with AIP altogether... Can anyone verify this?
2. Is there a way for my wife (sponsor) to log-in to ECAS? she said if it is inland, all files will be reflected on my application, nothing on the sponsor's page. Is this true? I tried logging in with my wife's citizenship file number and there was nothing there that says about our application.
3. Did they received the questionnaire i sent back last July asking what i am doing in Canada the past few months? She said they got it.
4. Do they have my medical records already? The agent said they got it April 15, 2011 which is before i sent my application, i had my medicals done at the end of March.
5. My wife is currently pregnant, do i need to do anything to notify cic? She said to send us a letter and photocopy of birth certificate once the child is born. Any thoughts on that guys? anyone on the same boat?
6. I asked her when can i get approved for PR? she said 9 months after AIP, which i guess is a typical answer basing on the forums but is not always the case. Right?
7. Since she said they are doing my background check, i asked her does it not come on 2nd stage? She said it is started on the 1st stage and finalized on the 2nd stage. Well, i could only hope and pray that 1st and 2nd stage gets approved altogether.
That's all i have to share for now
