JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[galt]

One quick question guys. I recently got my AOR1. When will I receive any status updates on my GCKEY account? (I have linked my wife's application to my GCKEY account). I have observed that CIC asks for electronic copy of IMM5669 again once we receive AOR 1?

When exactly we see this request? And where?
Please suggest

Thanks,

Firefox

I will check it out on Monday when I am back at work with Firefox. For now, I will add a placeholder to the date field for this.

Edit: I implemented a fix, that will properly convert it on the back end in most cases if you use MM/DD/YYYY (probably DD/MM/YYYY if D > 12, but I haven't tested it heavily)

Yes. When we were trying to link, my husband and I both had GCKey accounts and attempted linking each day to the maximum of five tries. I happened to be the one who got it linked first. And to be honest, as hands on as I am, I probably would have re-linked it to my own anyway once we got it one way or the other.

How do I link the account if I already have the same application linked (just not as a sponsor, but I see the PR side)?

I don't think you can link the sponsor application, only the PR's. You can check the sponsors application here though: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp?s=2

To those who have recently linked account in CIC via gckey, can you also check status via ECAS?

I can see my Sponsor Application only via ECAS but my wife's PR application only via GCKey.

On the bright side, I see my SA is marked Decision Made!

Yes. Can view both mine (sponsor) and my husbands (PR) using different login info for each.

Finallyyyyyy i was able to link our app to the PA cic account (mine is block for 24hh! Lol! But i realize that they received my app today? Feb 10 and they received it on january 9!!!!! At least i know im not gonna have my package back i guess:S

When you say that they "finally received it today" on February 10th, do you mean that they acknowledged that they received it and won't send it back (i.e. AOR1?). If so, that's great to finally get it!

Does any know when will CIC send which visa office is file is transferred. I got SA email today but there is nothing in the email. All it says is your eligibility as sponsorship has been verified.

Also, I am wondering what is the file number, is it the one that starts with F000 or will I get it once my application reaches the concerned visa office.

Thank you!

In the letter we got (the full letter was an attachment to the e-mail) the wording was something like:

"You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent

Residence for your relative has been forwarded to the visa office in <insert location> for further processing."

In our case, that was CPC Ottawa.

The file number will stay the same once it is forwarded to the visa office.

 

[danawhitaker]

Thank you for some clarification. I thought the same too. Sponsor letter usually tells the visa office name. The email I got says like this. Its odd the letter doesn't say the visa office. Is anyone experiencing the same situation.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted to this office on
behalf of XXXXXX and family (if applicable).

We are pleased to inform that you have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor.

That's quite interesting. I'd probably try and call them on Monday to see if you can get any information about it. I believe they told my husband Ottawa when he called to inquire after it was taking a long time for us to receive the e-mail.

Hmm it may not show in the original email.

They send two e-mails. My sponsor got two back to back. One stating the sponsor was approved then another e-mail stating my PR application was being transferred to Ottawa. Check your inbox for another.

According to the data I imported into my web application (https://immigration.dansheps.com/) two nights ago, people who sent in after the 18th, only two have received AOR1, (one 14 days, one 20 days).

I updated the actual google doc with my "In Progress" date and I think the excel formula for "Days since In Progress" is broken or missing from the cell because it's blank after I input that. Just something to note! Thanks for making this. I "registered" on your webpage but it won't let me do anything but filter. Can you update for me? PS I also requested to join the FB page,

You should be able to click on the "my application" if you are logged in and fill out your details.

If it doesn't work let me know.

Good to know. That's a change from when they were going out in October/November.

Sorry about that barch88! ;-) When I enter in new people on the spreadsheet using my cell phone, I normally don't add in all of the formulas, except for the ones that are pertinent to the dates I entered... I just went through and made sure that all of the formulas should be in place for all of your other cells, as well as for all others I added (and some I didn't add too!). I also added in some formulas for the last few cells since the were missing for COPR.

Does the processing centre usually operate on weekends or do things get processed on regular business days?
