Do you think you could link me to the thread this was mentioned in?
Sure . Here it is. Basically its the speaking notes of the minister. Does not mention any definite dates and they talk about the refugee program but could have been applied to other applications too.

Hello All,

I just logged online. Although i still haven't SA approval but the permanent residence application status has changed to "In Process". SO now both: Sponsorship application status and permanent residence application status are in Process.

What am i supposed to think? Have they approved sponsor?

AarCee.

did you click on the "In Process" link for permanent residence application status? There might be a line added with date when they started processing your application.

congrats on SA!

Hi Hardcookie, I thought I'd let you know that I had a previous sponsorship case (it was inland and went through successfully after about 2 years) with my ex husband. I was really young at the time (19) and we ended up divorcing about a year after he received PR. The relationship was definitely genuine, things just did not work out.

I still have not official received SA on my current sponsorship, however, on day 70 following AOR I did notice our applicant side changed to "in process" which can apparently mean SA was approved.

When I called in they sometimes said they were "verifying documents". I have a feeling they most likely had to look into my previous sponsorship for due diligence. I don't know for sure that it caused the delay, I just think it may cause a delay as they want to cover their ground. I'm no expert though! Just thought I'd let you know you're not alone.

I also have Sponsor and PA "In Process", but no third line or SA letter. I called CIC and they would not give me any further details.

Hello,

My wife just received an email from Consulate General of Canada, Sydney, Australia that they have received her application. This is what the email reads: This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2016/03/04.

I believe this is AOR2 and the application has been forwarded to Sydney visa office which takes 11 months to process according to CIC website.

Kind Regards
AarCee

I actually noticed the change on Sunday BC time and my wife received an email a while ago which i believe is AOR2. I still haven't received any emails on SA approval though. Where do I go to post the timeline?

Hi,
How do you guys know which visa office handles an application? Is it based on the country of citizenship or residence? The online portal just says they've started processing the case on whatever date, doesn't mention which visa office is handling the case.

Here is my timeline:
Documents received: March 10.
Started sponsor processing: April 29.
Started applicant processing: May 11.

Thanks!

I also noticed the change over the weekend and I got the SA letter by post today. You may also receive it that way.

I noticed that my AOR2 and AOR has the same date which is March 4th, 2016.

AOR2 just says that they have received my application nothing about processing.

A little confused but glad that the application is in Sydney visa office now.
