Ecas says that they sent correspondence on August 5th. Neither my husband nor I have received anything from them. How long should I wait before calling CIC to find out what they sent and asking them to send it again?
If sponsorship is denied, do they send an e-mail or paper letter?
Will GCMS notes tell me anything at this point in the process?
SA is very rare to fail and usually the sponsor would know they don't qualify.
From the CIC website
You may NOT sponsor if you…signed an undertaking for a previous spouse or common-law partner and three years have not elapsed since he or she became a permanent resident and, receive social assistance for a reason other than disability,are in default of an undertaking, an immigration loan, a performance bond, or family support payments, are an undischarged bankrupt,were convicted of an offence of a sexual nature, a violent criminal offence, an offence against a relative that results in bodily harm or an attempt or threat to commit any such offences—depending on circumstances such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and whether a pardon was issued, were previously sponsored as a spouse , common-law or conjugal partner and became a permanent resident of Canada less than 5 years ago, are under a removal order, are detained in a penitentiary, jail, reformatory or prison, have already applied to sponsor your current spouse or common-law partner and a decision on your application has not yet been made.
Defaults
You are not eligible to sponsor if you are in default of a previous undertaking. If you are in default and you submit an application to sponsor, it will be refused and the sponsorship fees that you have paid will not be refunded or applied to subsequent sponsorship applications.
If you are in default of a previous sponsorship undertaking
Relatives you sponsored in the past received social assistance or welfare while the undertaking was valid.
You may not sponsor until you repay the full amount of any social assistance or welfare payment or repay the debt to the satisfaction of the government authority that issued the benefit or ordered you to pay.
If you are in default of an immigration loan
You received a transportation, assistance or Right of Permanent Residence Fee (previously called the Right of Landing Fee) loan and have missed payments or are in arrears.
You may not sponsor until you pay all arrears on your loan. For more information, contact Collection Services at 1-800-667-7301 (in Canada and the United States only).
If you are in default of support payment obligations
You were ordered by a court to make support payments to a spouse or child and have neglected to do so.
You may not sponsor until you resolve the family support matter.
If you are in default of a performance bond
You agreed to pay money to guarantee that an immigrant would fulfil his or her obligations under immigration legislation.
You may not sponsor until you pay the full amount of the bond.
These are the only reasons SA won't be given.
