Thanks rjessome. I just got two emails at the exact same time. The first says to recall the first email. The second says:

FILE: B******* NAMES: *********





Dear Applicant:

This is to advise you that your application for permanent residence has been received at the Regional Programme Centre (RPC) and that a file has been created for you. Your file number appears above. Quote this number when corresponding with our office.

Immigration Regional Program Center
3000 HSBC Center, Buffalo, NY 14203
e-mail: buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca


So... does that mean it's sorted out and the first one was sent in error and I am in process? It's confusing because the subject line of all of these are my name and the same case number, so the one that is 'recalled' has the same subject line as the 'correction' one.. so was the 'correction' one recalled? The 'correction' one was sent at the exact same time as the recall one.

The file number is the same.

I think that could be. That's why they recalled the first e-mail. Your second email is exactly the same wording that I got in my email from Buffalo.

Sounds to me like the IO sent the email, realized they had included the wrong generic body of text, and immediately attempted to recall and send the correct one.

So I think you should be good with just disregarding the first one :)

Should be fine. But check ECAS using receipt number and sponsor's information. If it shows your file in process then all's well.

Just to 'resolve' this in case someone is in this situation in the future: my ecas changed to in process as of 8/18, which is when I got the first email. It seems they just sent the wrong form letter and all is well. Thanks everyone!
