Once you get SA, will the status change on ECAS to Decision Made on the Sponsor's side?

Hi everyone.

May I join this group? I sent my application for my partner last Jan 2014 and package was forwarded to Canadian Visa Offfice in Manila.
I'm currently living here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This long process is making us impatient but I hope it'll be worth the wait.
Hopefully we get our PPR before this year ends. Good luck everyone. Cheers. ;)

We are happy to welcome any January 2014 outland applicants. Welcome to our group.
If you want to be added to the spreadsheet so we can follow your timeline, please provide the dates mentioned on the sheet. You can find the link in my signature.
Please note that I, along with Zarilenth and Aniabella, maintain only the January 2014 spreadsheet and not the Manila VO one.

You have been added to the sheet cgrey.
I would recommend doing your medical ASAP to make sure it will not delay your application. The way CIC works, if something is missing in your application, they just put it aside and put a "bring forward date" on it. That date can be like 2 months later, this means your application is delayed by 2 months, even if they get what they want 1 week later.

As for the AOR from visa office, Manila usually not sends it according to the Manila thread on this forum. The first communication you should receive from them is passport request.

I've heard that is not the case. However if you get a request for additional information then you should send off the extra info ASAP. I heard that they will continue to process your application as soon as this information is received. There is a thread where a member posted quite extensive info on the whole 'Bring forward date' issue. Anyway I hope he is right, otherwise my application will be delayed by 60 days, I got an email requested additional info earlier this month.
