Thanks agga for the reply

Thanks for your words of encouragement!

It really seems things aren't treated in a linear way... I'm checking the mailbox every single day to see if anything arrives, but we got nothing yet.

I got to Canada this week with a student visa, couldn't take the waiting at distance. Now I hope my PR comes before the end of the trimester so that we don't end up with a huge student debt - but it will still be worth it having come in case it doesn't...

Next week is us!

T1gr3ss, my guess is that the message isn't as automated as they say, and it's just a mistake of the processor and they sent you the wrong form letter. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Take it as a positive, and an AOR, and hopefully in the next couple weeks we'll have our sponsor approval :).

I thought about it too but still, the fear of the unknown is totally driving me nuts.. And yes, hoping and praying for our fast approvals. Thanks :)

:(

Everybody has filed so much after me and I haven't received anything yet, not AOR, not sponsorship approval, nothing. I just realized that my package was received on the 9th, not on the 10th as I had thought - which means it should have been treated by now, but it wasn't. I did receive a confirmation of delivery from the Post, but heard nothing from the CIC so far. I really should prepare for the worse. I did send everything, my application package was complete.

I really don't understand what is going on.

And T1gr3ss, I think you don't have anything to worry about - the officer must have copied & pasted the wrong template, but they have received your documents and will treat it according to your package. Don't worry and congratulations!

hi agga, you are not alone, maybe the VO who is taking care of your file is having dysmenorrhea so she cant email you about the approval thingie ;) smile. I see people you filed latter than my date but gets approvals, kinda makes me and hubby worried too, no email from CIC and all that, lets just pray its all about DELAY.

God bless us all here

@ T1gr3ss
Hello this email about Permanent Residence in not for the Sponsor actually it's for your husband which is the Applicant because all the Applicant applications for Permanent Residence are processing it in Canada. The rest in CEM like Background Declaration application.
