Awesome news about the notification emails!!! A couple thoughts in response to questions:
- Although you're the Sponsor, ultimately this is an application for permanent residence you have submitted on behalf of your spouse, so I suppose that's how they identify it.
- Although CIC may have physically received your package on a certain date, the letter is probably indicating the date it was entered into their system, which could be a few days later.
I'm so excited hearing movement in our month! We submitted Nov 10 so hopefully we'll get our email next week or so
