The website now lists 37 days as the time for SA. I think they sent out SAs in the mail without updating eCAS reliably. I'm at 36 days so I hope I hear something soon.

Our application was received March 10th, received AOR1 April 5th, and still no SA. I called in on Wednesday morning and I got a grumpy call agent who said that the approximate processing time doesn't really mean anything and it could take until the end of June to receive SA.

So extremely disappointed. Apparently they're "verifying documents" currently. Our entire life is on hold and the process is just dragging out.

Hey guys so I log in to ecas today and on the applicants side it says IN PROCESS but no 3rd line

Permanent Residence
We received XXXX application for permanent residence on March 16, 2016.
Medical results have been received.


What does this mean?


I have only received SA over the phone, and on the sponsors side still has the same lines *We started processing April 12

When mine changed to in process I also only had two lines, then 4 days later the 3rd line showed up. My SA side still shows In Process as well. Some say that if the file transferred and PR side shows In Process, then it is assumed that you received SA. Hoping this is the case...a lot of us in the same boat right now with no SA!

COPR: 12-05-2016
Received my CoPR yesterday in the mail. App received March 21, DM 5-5. BUT there's an issue, it has my last entry into Canada listed as Dec 5, 2013 however my true last entry was Sept 27th 2015. Is this going to cause an issue at the border? I will be landing as an immigrant on Sunday this week. Then I have a trip to visit family in US the following weekend. Will I be okay or should I call and see how long it takes to issue a revised one?

Also for B4s... If I do not have any goods to bring. Do I still need to bring the blank forms? If I decide to have goods to follow, do they need to all come in at the same time or can they be mailed separately? Mainly just a guitar that my dad has been holding on to for me, value is 400-CAD.

Does anyone know how long CIC takes to reply to inquiries (or do they even reply). I called into the call center and they said they will put in an inquiry regarding my SA approval. Thanks
