Filed: 13 may 2015
Started processing 15 june 2015
(Still i havent received my AOR yet)
What else can I do?
Your case sounds similar to mine. We went past the the processing date listed on the CIC site and I started calling once a week. Be very matter of fact and use something similar to this every time you call.
"Hello - Our sponsorship application was filed in May and went in process on June 15, and we have yet to hear anything and sponsorship approval. Since the processing times state that July applicants are in process, we are past that timeframe, so I want to see where application is at"
Don't mention having called before or what other agents have said - that just opens up questions, and you want to make the agent go find out what's going on. Depending on what the response is once they come back, then you can give additional info from other agents if you feel like it will help.
In my case, it turned out the file had been sent to the visa office in Ottawa prematurely, so it was sent back to Mississauga. Took me about 6 weeks to get that info, and then the same week they told me that, sponsorship was approved.
I personally don't think it does much good to call more than once a week, but definitely be diligent about at least doing that, and making sure whatever agent you get actually goes and checks to see what's happening. If you get an uncooperative agent, don't bother to get into it with them...just thank them for their time and call again, at which point you are likely to get someone more cooperative.
