Congrats Woffles and Kamar - I have updated the spreadsheet!

Would love to be able to call CIC myself, but am living outside of Canada- so looks like I will have to be patient! I have a sneaking suspicion they will be sending me snail mail too, so will have to wait another few weeks.... As long as it gets looked at eventually, I am not too worried!
Bagelbagel81,

Why don't you send a fax to CIC to check your status? Have a nice weekend.

Hi Bagel,

If you want to call CIC try............... 001-613-944-4000 then 1,2,1,1,2,1,0 the hard part is to time the call so that you get through. I called a couple of minutes before 8am (Canadian Eastern Time) as you have go through the prompts. I was able to get through each time but holding times varied. Remember the time change if that's happening this weekend.

Good Luck
The "time change" will occur on the weekend of Sunday November 2nd. We are putting our clocks "back" one hour.

Good news guys- I called the number (thanks marcopolocan) and the lovely French Canadian man on the end of the phone said my application was indeed received on the 11th July, and I apparently received an email on the 25th of September to say we have sponsor approval!

Woohoo! Onto the next stage.

I am lucky I didn't have to hold too long, and the man was very helpful and gave me my UCI number.

Good luck everyone else who is waiting and thanks again for everyone's support :D
