Hi Kmc,
Congratulations on getting your application in. Now you will wait for the AOR (acknowledgement of receipt) which I believe they will mail. We knew our file number (past application) so didn't have to wait for that to check our status online via the cic.gc.ca site. In fact, we never did get an AOR at all.
You will likely get your letter of approval as a sponsor first - and that will have your file number which you can then use to track the progress online.
The online status updates are random. My IO (Immigration officer) seemed to update quickly. Mine showed my application received, sponsorship approval, file transfer to JA date, medical receive dates and interview date. Others barely had any updates.
And yup - go ahead on trackitt and post your information. then you can update once you get your sponsorship approval.
Enjoy the journey. It's up and down and all over the place. We're here for you though.
To everyone who met up last night ... How was it? My daughter is still sick
.... but I was thinking of you guys and hope someone took pics.
a new week tomorrow. let's hope for more movement on the older files.
