This is not moving for almost 2 weeks... OMG!
Keep the faith, my sponsorship turn around was 3.5 months, CPC-M officially received my application on Feb 28, 2012 and I got AOR on June 11 and in the same week on June 15 I got my sponsorship approval , so you should receive something late by first or second week of July, good luck , patience , patience and patience, good things will happen after a long wait, have a good day

yours should be around the corner! they are sending AOR and approvals for the second half of march, if you look at the spreadsheet you won't have to wait for long!

I suspect that CIC keeps the 29th February date to avoid too many calls... because if they put a later date, every applicant that has not heard from them will call, and they would have to actually look into each file... while if they keep it on the 29th February, they can say on the phone "call back once we passed your application date".

Just a theory... or maybe they are just too scattered and busy to update properly - and it's difficult to know which date to put since some applications are in Ottawa, some are still in Mississauga, so it doesn't really make sense anymore - hopefully it will go back to a more "normal" processing time and a little more logic in a couple of weeks... fingers crossed!

Good luck everyone with waiting (me included...),

All the march applicants who are expecting their sponsorship approval, you can call the call center at 1-888-242-2100 to find out the status of your application. Call center agents are very helpful. just give them your client id number and they can check if your file is approved or still in process

Goodluck every one !!!!
