generally, i belive the traveler needs to apply for a visitor visa for the US if they are not visa exempt. Having a visa to visit canada doesn't give someone authority to travel to the us. They are completely seperate from eachother, as they are different countries.

Thanks, and yes, obviously they are separate countries. ;D I did a little research of my own and discovered this bit of information if it is helpful for anyone else.

You will need ESTA if you are from a visa-waiver country such as Australia, Japan, UK and EU countries to enter US by air even if you are a permanent resident of Canada. If you are from a country that needs a visa to enter US then you don't need ESTA but just a valid visa to enter US.

I've added you to our tracking spreadsheet. At the present pace, look for something from CIC in about 3 weeks :)

Hi Yaak, how do I get on the tracking sheet? I'm getting some really good information from this Forum...I'm so glad I found it!
 
Hey Guys! Does someone want to add me? or how do I add myself to the spread sheet? I submitted on June 25th, 2014 and Application was accepted on June 26th, 2014 in Mississauga. I am still waiting for my SA!! FINGERS CROSSED!! :-[
 
Just an update:

My son's application which was received on June 12th was already approved as Sponsor. He received the email today, Aug. 6th.

The spreadsheet is open for editing by anyone with the URL. Unless we have problems, I'll leave it that way so that anyone can update their information at any time. I see you, or some other member, added you to the spreadsheet. Congratulations on SA!

Great news! I've updated your son's status on our tracking spreadsheet. Let's hope his is only the first of many SA's received today :)

Thanks, Yaak! Hopefully, another batch of SA's this week. God bless all June applicants :)
 
this is disheartening. i haven't received my sa yet and i see applications received later than mine get theirs. :(
 
I feel your pain...application received June 10th and nothing received yet from them. We are in the same boat!
 
my husband just received the SA. It's such a great news wake up to ;)
I'm using mobile so I Can't seem to add my info on spreadsheet. it's been very helpful now other VOs processing times are different so ... I hope everyone get their 1st stage approval very soon:)
