Thank you PrairieGirl! You're a darling!prairiegirl22 said:that is great news Tannygirl! I've updated your timeline on the spreadsheet to reflect your SA on January 13th which judging by ECAS is when you've been granted SA. Shame it didn't come by email or you would have had it last week!
In general, because I'm bored at work, I've cleaned up the colour coordinating on the spreadsheet. October is getting there, yay!
what does your SA letter say? ECAS is not a true indicator of what is going on with your application. if your information works for outside of canada i wouldn't worry. the system is signing you in basd on the file number and/or uci number. to know *how* your application is being processed, check your SA letter. it will tell you what visa office it is at. if you received an SA letter, then it's outland. Inland applications don't get SA so quickly, the process is completely different, and inland sponsors are not notified that the applicant's application was "sent to a visa office abroad". Read your SA letter, or if you haven't gotten SA then, you need to be patient because that means your applications hasn't "really" started processing yet. If your SA or AOR says the application is for "in family class" then you need to call your MP. otherwise, you are just freaking out about nothing.tannygirl said:
Thanks for the info rhcohen.rhcohen2014 said:
if you are NOT in canada, there is no way you can be processed as inland, as it REQUIRES the sponsor and applicant to be living TOGETHER in Canada. you are fine. stop trying to "figure out" everything, and wait for the letter from CIC. you are not going to be able to figure things out until it's communicated to you. Again, ECAS is not to be used to figure out what is happening with your application, as it's generally updated AFTER something has already happened.tannygirl said:Thanks for the info rhcohen.
I am outside Canada right now, and my husband (who is my sponsor) has not received the email, but it says that "a decision was made on 13/01/2015 regarding your sponsorship application; please consider delays in the mail before contacting us"-
so it's probably on it's way by snail mail!
Under the principal applicant's column (me) it says "application received & medicals received"
I just hoped if they processed it as inland by mistake, I'd get it sooner. The timeline for India (where I am) is 15 months!
Thanks for your help! Good luck with your application!
Thanks rhcohen, you're so kind and helpful! God bless you and your positivity!rhcohen2014 said:
Thank you rhcohen2014, your such a helpful person..this info takes all the burden out of me, I think email communication from CIC is much trustworthy since its in writing than ECAS..rhcohen2014 said:
Sorry, but isn't Family Class used to describe outland applications? Now I'm the one freaking out, as our AOR says "This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received". I assumed this meant outland.rhcohen2014 said:
family class refers to both inland/outland/parental...any type of family sponsorship.MissRepresentation said:
I second that. We have seen people receiving AOR and letters specifically saying in Canada.rhcohen2014 said:
SA ... wishful thinking! Spoke to a manager at CPC-M yesterday and she looked up our application and said it would be another 10 to 15 days for SA (the application was received on 31st October, so just letting other applicants know). Of course it's CIC, so you always have to take their words with adraxz1289 said:
You got your AOR on the 17th correct, then from the trend you can expect the SA in about 6-7 daysMissRepresentation said:
