I checked ECAS today and both our Sponsorship Application and Permanent Residence Application Status are In Process now. We sent our application on June 25, 2015.
Under Sponsorship Application is:
1. We received your application to sponsor xxxx on June 25, 2015.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on July 30, 2015.
3. We started processing your application on July 29, 2015.
and on Permanent Residence Application is:
1. We received xxxx's application for permanent residence on June 25, 2015.
2. Medical results have been received.
The first and last email we received from CIC is the AOR email on July 30, 2015. Does this mean we have SA?
For our background: my spouse is a Canadian citizen and I'm in the US on a student permit but I'm a citizen of a non-visa exempt country (Philppines). I'm hoping they will send our application to Ottawa (the visa office I assume is for US residents?) because the document checklist I followed is the one for US residents (I've been here in the US for 5+ years). I do have the requirements ready for the Manila/Philippines checklist (original birth & marriage certificate and extra immigration photos) in case they send it to Manila. If they do send it to Manila, should I wait until they ask me for them or should I mail them right away?
