Hi all,

I hope you're enjoying your week thus far.

An acquaintance of mine is doing research on the well-being and support of those going through spouse or partner visa process. She said she was motivated to look into it after her sister went through the spousal visa process, and she learned that much of what she went through adversely affected her well-being. (No doubt! Waiting for DM is stressful to say the least!)

This research is through the psychology department of the University of Copenhagen.

Normally I wouldn't post something like this, but she plans to publish the findings in hopes that immigration agencies will change their practices for the better. I figure we're a group that really demonstrates what it's like to wait for a decision to be made.

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes and can be found by <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19xW7TytLts86LDP5R6zBGHwL06JNfU2wrb8ZDjm01Qc/viewform"> clicking here! </a>

Thanks for your help, and please feel free to pass it along to your partner/spouse to take, too! ;D

PS--I'm posting this in a few other threads in hopes to gain more numbers. They need at least 20 more people to have a decent sampling. Cheers!

Hi all,

I sent my application on May 19th and it was received on May 21st. We have still not received AOR (my husband is the sponsor)

The only reason I wasn't worried this whole time was because on the CIC website, it mentions that they are still working on beginning May however, from the forums I am gathering that most May applicants have received AOR as well as SA and a lot of applicants from June have also received AOR.

Please tell me I'm going crazy and this is not the case? :( I was so positive about my application but now, I'm not so sure what to expect. Can anyone provide some insight on my situation or what steps I should take?

Thank you for all your help and good luck!

I'm in the same boat, I sent my application May 22 and it was received May 25 and we still have not received an AOR. :(
 
What a mess, seriously!
I'm May 15th applicant and my wife didn't get an email yet. Ecas didn't change but the CIC web says that they are working on May 19th applications ;/
 
I know some people here are still worried about not getting their AOR. I did put an email on my
application but for some reason they did not have it or didn't bother to send me an AOR. (really not sure which)

If you are outland and they do not put that email address
in I was told by the call center they do not send AOR though regular mail.

I did wind up getting the man to look for me to find out what happened to my application because I was so worried
and have not received anything.

With my receipt number from paying online he was able to look up in the system and give me the information, along
with my application number, and the Client ID number, after me answering several questions to verify my identity.

I hope that everyone gets their answers or emails or snail mails today that has been waiting for longer then they should be.
 
cali2bc it's my birthday too! =] happy birthday !!!


we got SA on july 6th.

ecas still saying "application received" but not in process ...boo.

Logged in this morning to find "Decision Made" for the Sponsor assessment, with the message "We sent you correspondence on July 7, 2015 about the decision on your application."

But... still no correspondence received. Is this a good sign?


Hello mrpotatohead , I experienced the same thing...I checked my ecas this morning then a decision made was written under sponsorship assessment with a message " We sent you correspondence on July 14,2015 about the decision on your application".
I didn't receive any email from CIC... It made me scared and anxious..... Did you received an email after you found out this one on your ecas? Thanks
 
Yey! I checked my Ecas and was surprised to see "Decision Made" on my account as a sponsor. They say they sent me correspondence on July 14, 2015. I didn't receive any email yet. Hopefully its good news ;D . On the other side with my husband profile it was updated to Medical results has been received. :)

call CIC call centre they will happily tell you your status.
 
CIC call centre agents give contradicting statements some say they have sent emails and letter for SA and some say they haven't yet for 12 May and after applicants .
STRANGE :o

As for me - it is SA, because I got a confirmation from CIC call centre agent. Just waiting for the letter, so we can fill out our paperwork for Quebec.

I will call the agent on Monday just to be sure. Looks like our papers are moving. ;D
