MARCH 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

[jsk13]

Thanks for this information. I didn't know this about the temporary number and the fact of not having one brings the possibility of return of the application no matter covid. I actually can't call, I can just have faith to have one there. Thanks for your wishes

Honestly, don’t worry about getting your application returned.
I want to say this again- Maybe the agent that commented was not aware of the IRCC statement of “No application will be returned due to missing documents”.
I know the feeling of thinking that the application might be lost or on way back- Hope is there. I think that’s why they have started opening all the packages and giving temporary numbers.

How can you able to join in if you don't have any number? Can you tell me so I can try to login too. I applied March 3rd but no update so far.

I went to ecas and by hope I tried to link

Just one weird question. Are there 10 digits in your application number?

no it starts with F then 9 numbers

My MP is going to get a status update for me tomorrow. I suspect they might have a few requests from various ppl for the same thing.

I used 2 things I did it twice to see if it would work and it did

1st I used uci from visit visa because the uci will never change
And 2nd I used the receipt number from the payment for sponsorship

But there is no option for Receipt of Payment number?? That category I could not find it.

My application was received 25th March but I got the same email reply to my query today:
