GOOD NEWS GUYS!
AOR received today!!!! (via email) Our application was filed on January 4th (so says the delivery confirmation of the post office).

Let's get ready to rock and roll

(Edit: just realized, the email says application was received on January 31st already; even though post stated January 4th?!)

Does anybody know how to modify the spreadsheet so that there is a color change upon status change?
I have no idea how to do that...

Edit: Thanks, whoever did it

Hey
I did not understand. When exactly did CIC receive your file ?? Please can you share so that even I can calculate my time.

I honestly do not know. The post says that it was received (and signed for) by CIC on January 4th, which is what I've been calculating with.

However in the AOR-email it says "This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2015/12/31..." Honestly I don't think it makes a big difference for the calculation as Dec 31 and Jan 4 are basically two subsequent workingdays as the 1st of January is a holiday and 2nd/3rd were weekend days...

At this point it doesn't really matter as it will not affect your processing time in any significant way, however I would count the official App received date as the one provided by CIC which in your case is December 31st.

Now this places you in our December 2015 spreadsheet so you're more than welcome to join us ;D

Hey guys!

our application was received on Jan 5. we have yet to receive the AOR letter from CIC(forgot to provide email on application).
just today we tried Ecas and it gave us the information confirming they received our application and that they started processing our application on Feb 17. im hoping to receive the official letter from them by next week. it's quite a relief to finally see something on Ecas.

How did you check your ECAS? What information did you have to enter?

My Husband is the sponsor (naturalized citizen) and he used the UCI he received when he became a citizen. he used the same UCI on the application forms.
