Yesterday I received an AOR via email. It's been 4 weeks since I sent in my application, so at least now I know they have received it. Just have to wait for it to be processed. :)

That's a great start. I updated the spreadsheet. Did you happen to do your medicals upfront?
 
Great to hear you've had an AOR. I read that they had stopped sending these but clearly not! Hopefully that means they've at least started looking at some of the July applications! :)

That's great news!.. Perhaps more of us will start to also receive an AOR as well

that's great and its fast!! wohooo!!looking forward to rest of us too
 
Yes indeed. To answer the question about the medicals, yes I had them done and sent in everything all at once. I figured why run the risk of any hold ups. Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on any more news. Meanwhile, here's hoping everyone gets something too!
 
just an FYI... someone in the May thread just posted this:

Hello, my partner received his approval as sponsor on August 1, 2014. The letter he received said that the application was been sent to a processing center abroad but did not specify which one. After reading this tread we started to get worried about the fact that they did not specify the office, so this morning my partner called CIC and apparently they changed a bit their process for those application that are considered simple and non-complex in order to speed up the process. these application stay in Missisauga and will be processed in that office. the visa will then come from the office abroad. Apparently mine is one of the first ones to be processed that way. the positive thing is that our case is seen as non complicate which is good but Missisauga already screwed up our application once so I just hope everything goes well.

So if the approval you received did not specify the office call the CIC and ask where your application had actually been sent. I am not sure what the parameters for "non complicate" are but I hope it really is a faster process.

I just know that I need a vacation after I get my PR. It has been very stressful 8)

Now obviously, i have no idea whether this is true or where the applicant is from. considering some australian applications are being processed in mississauga now, this may be legit. just wanted to post it here in case more applicants are being told their application is in mississauga. perhaps this is all part of the office consolidation, is only for specific visa offices, and is a sign things are starting to get on track over there... as always, when it comes to CIC, only time will tell!
 
Thanks!

July applicant here! No sponsorship approval yet, submitted our docs Juy 29,2014.. Does the approval faster if your partner is already a Canadian citizen than PR holder?

The approval time should be the same.

Application received by CIC on 18th July, still no contact

Did you do your medical already? What VO are you applying to?
 
Hi

I sent my appication July 10 and it was recieved July 14th I received an email this am however I am onable to open it as per the following


adobe reader could not open " doc " because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.


It is early for approval email wondering if anyone else received one
