Hmmm i just gave a call to CIC. Itseems they haven't open my application. CIC received my application on 12th Jan 2012. Anybody here who submitted application around same time and got approval... :'(

That's what the spreadsheet is for.. ;D for you to see who applied around the same time and their status.... Clearly there is no real method to their processing as some people have been notified before others when their application was received after...

The main lesson Here is to be patient, They will have to notify you soon! ;D


If the cic website has jan 12 as their posted processing time and you still haven't heard then I'd be calling but I bet you will hear before that :D

Based on our processing times our group is extremely lucky... We have record times compared to those in other threads.

Stay strong and positive you will get that letter soon!

Thanks guys!

I had a good feeling about it today and was literally checking my email allllllll day!

It didn't go to my spam file either... :D

Based on the other who have received approval, it should take about 4 days or so before I hear from them again!


It's a beautiful email guys...what an amazing feeling!
Before you know it well all be in this happy state!

Your excitement is contagious, Amanda! I'm happy for you :) Looks like CIC is in a giving mood. Could you let me know the email address CIC used - need to keep an eagle eye out, maybe in 2 weeks I'll be crying with happiness like you are right now... :D

Yay, the good news continues!

(Oh lord, as if I wasn't addicted enough to this forum... :D My 5 visits/day habit has doubled since the weekend)

Does anyone have any theories / ideas why some people get their approvals by email while others get snail mail? Or is it just that CIC is consistently inconsistent?

You said it!!!!

My guess though, some officers are more "old fashioned" than others.


And don't worry, majority of us are just as obsessed...I sure am! I don't go anywhere without my iPad!

Congrats imatra!
You've officially become green on our spreadsheet!


Can anyone confirm the email address that cic uses to send the letters? I'd like to add it to my contact list so that it doesn't accidentally end up in spam!

My gmail account says " hooray, no spam!" when all I want it to say is, you have spam mail! Never thought I'd be asking for spam mail lol

50% of the first 10 people have received sponsorship...this is so amazing!

I can't wait for more updates!
Thanks Amanda ... never been so happy for being green ... :) ... the AOR email and sponsorship email were received from:
Client-update-mise-a-jour @ cic.gc.ca

Hope you guys get these emails from CIC real soooooooooooooooooooooon ... :)

Congratulations ... sponsorship approval will follow real soon ... stay happy ...
