regardless SA you should be able to link your application. my mistake was while logging in there is a question asking howmany people are in this application I said 1..but answer is 2(sponsor and applicant). then I was able to link my application to My CIC account. so probnbaly one of your answers is not correct.
I would guess so too. I have tried multiple ways. I'm thinking that they have entered some info wrong in their system. It could be as simple as listing me as divorced or single. I have a dependent so I have tried 2 and 3. I have tried city and state of birth, just the city, just the state. I have tried just my passport info. I'm stumped and feel like I've tried every combination there could be. To be honest, it would be nice to link, but now that SA has been approved...I know that the process will go fast for me. Ya know being from the neighboring country. I feel bad that so many people have to wait so long to be reunited with their significant other.

Thank you for your help. :)

Hi All,

What number is everyone calling to speak to a call center agent. I had a heard a while back that the call center now only accepts calls for inland spousal processing.

Could someone please share the number and the steps to get through (options that need to be pressed)?

We have In process on both Sponsor and Applicant side from Friday 19th August on ECA, and wonder of wonders -- I could link to myCIC as soon as ECAS changed to In Process on both sides (no third line on Applicant side yet on ECAS though).

I tried it on a lark expecting the same "No Application Found" as before but instead they not only found my application but MyCIC shows Eligibility - Review in Progress and Medicals - Passed. Application: Open, and Everything else - not started or not required.

Just want to call and confirm SA has been give as we are now over 54 days and if file has been transferred.

Thanks
Many thanks.

What is AOR2?
Email sent to PA, confirming that the application was received, which basically means that Visa Office (VO) received the transferred application.

So called the call Center - we were SA approved on 15th August and the SA letter has been mailed to us (Canada Post) but they confirmed file is transferred to NDVO - but no AOR 2. Interesting the agent did say the physical file is sent to the them.

I guess the last week was also a lot of holidays here in India so chances are that could have delayed sending the AOR2 or they haven't opened the file at all :)

So the wait officially begins.... Hope it is better for 2016 applicants!
