I'm new to this site, and I was wondering if anyone would like to share their stories. I just recently sent the paperwork to the Mississauga office for spousal sponsorship.

Hope everyone has a good day!

I sent it on Nov 9th and didn't get the official acknowledgment of receipt yet - just the one from the post office.

Can you include me in the Nov spreadsheet?

Thank you!

Actually, I didn't understand whether CIC send an acknowledgment of receipt of the file or if they only contact you once they have studied your file and your sponsor is approved. Does anybody know what happens? What if there is a document missing?

I am worried because I forgot to put my pictures inside of the envelope with my documents which was already sealed - so I included them in the big envelope, with the documents related to my husband.

How did you send your documents?

Hi Agga -

No worries, I did the same thing. The pictures stayed on the photocopier. I contacted them, and they will advise you of your file number and to send the pictures as soon as they get to your file. I verified directly with the CPC-M to obtain this information. I hope this helps!

Oh sorry! You sent the pictures? As long as it was attached to your main envelope, it should be fine.

This is a neat spreadsheet. It shows the times it takes to process 23/30/50/70/80 % of all cases for different offices, and you'll see that a lot of cases get processed faster than the time posted on the CiC website.

Hello everyone!

Has anybody had any news from CIC? I saw in the Nov spreadsheet that a few people have receiver an acknowledgment of receipt by CIC, but not the sponsorship approval. I thought they sent both communications at the same time... ::) so now this info adds one more step to my worries.

I have filed my documents on the 9th of November and the Post informed me they were delivered on the 10th, and still no news. I'm still within the CIC's 66-day period, which will be over on January 15th, so I'll wait until then to start getting worried :-X

Wish you all happy holidays! Even if we are physically apart from our beloved ones, the heart is what counts.

@agga
In our case hubby sent our application by Canadapost if you use the same you can actually track it using the tracking number I'm the one who actually track our application because my hubby was busy.

Hello 0jennifer0,

That's what I used, I guess I can't have more information than that then... :(

What I meant was the cases of Sh7228, Louise86 and Mlle_81, who according to the November spreadsheet have already heard from CIC. Ladies, can you give us some information on this communication you have received?

I wish you all great holidays!

Hello everybody!

I'm getting nervous as I see that people who have filed before me have already heard news from CIC, but I haven't. How were you informed of their confirmation of receipt? By post or on the e-cas website?

By the way, my visa office is Sao Paulo (Brazil).

May 2012 be the first year of the best years of our lives.

Cheers,

Agga
