This is in e-cast if my husband (sponsor) check in:
"We received your application to sponsor XY on February 24, 2011.
We started processing your application on February 12, 2012.
We sent you a letter on February 12, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us."
This, if I (sponsored)check in:
We received XY's application for permanent residence on February 24, 2011.
We started processing XY's application on March 25, 2011.
A decision has been made and XY will be contacted.
What does it mean?
First stage is nothing more, than sponsorship approval (My husband could be a sponsor, I am eligible to being sponsored) They started to process on Feb. 12, 2012 !!!!!!! and sent the letter on the same day..... What did they do in the last one year?! (I do not know)
So those, who check the e-cas, as sponsors (and approved) will read the first type of text.
Pls let me know is there anybody who checked e-cas as sponsored and have more than "A decision has been made and XY will be contacted."
(A decision has been made about sponsorship, not about permanent residency)
Asking the information about your files WILL NOT slow down the process. You have to send the letter to Ottawa....
That`s the way to know what is going on.(the only way, calling them is wasting their and your time.)
