Hi all,

Just thought I'd post an update. I was able to log into cic today for the first time to check the status of my sponsorship application and a decision has been made and a letter has been sent to me regarding the decision!!

CIC website says that they are currently processin applications up to August 17/09, however, CIC received my application on August 26/09 and begain processing it on September 21/09.....so I guess they are ahead of their current posted processing times.

I am hoping that this is positive news for me, though I'm not too sure if it's normal for them to begin processing an application and make a decision on the same day!!

Anyway, just thought I'd update you all.

Take care

Hi everyone.
We sent out our application to Mississauga on the 16th of September. According to Canada Post it was delivered successfully on the 18th. We were worried because we used Xpresspost and mailed it to the P.O. Box instead of the address for registered post. But we didn't pay for the signing so that doesn't need to happen and the Canada Post website said it was delivered so I can only presume it made it.

Expecting first letter in November then hopefully by next March I'll hear from the London office.

How soon after sending the applications to Mississauga are people able to check their status on the CIC website?

Well according to other forums, you may able to check your status on the CIC website when you get your first approval.
Dont worry about using xpresspost, i actually used that when i passed the applications. Lots of people doing that though. By the way, im still waiting for my first approval, it might be on the 3rd or on the 4th of october.

take care and thanks for joining in this thread!!! keep posting guys!!!

I guess I will join this month's forum, originaly sent my application on Aug 21, returned to me and resubmitted on September 22, 2009.... I completed everything properly but the Immigration Officer seemed to confused with another application. I guess I will have to wait until the confused is cleared out. Might be waiting for a long time, since I am unable to speak to clarify. Good luck everybody, I am no longer as optimistic as I used to be, since I am not even able to make to 1st stage.

Hi Alice100,

I can imagine that you must be feeling pretty frustrated right now!! So did CIC give you any reason as to why your application was returned...for example, did the ecas provide you with an explanation online or did they send you a letter? It seems really bizarre to me that this would happen and that you were given no reason and cannot talk to somebody. Have you tried calling CIC or are you unable to do this because you are not in Canada?? Anyway, hopefully things will work out better this time!!

Take care

Thanks for your kind words. They enclosed some forms for me to sign that are not part of my application, I completed the forms, but I had to copy and paste information on the website to point out the fact that he had interpreted my application differently. What is frustrating is that I cant speak to him/her to point of the mistake and since we are not communicating, he is either gonna return my application or reject my sponsorship. You would think that people would read the policies or ask their collegues. I used to work with files and clients that required interpretation of act, laws and regulations, the day before I met with client, I will review the notes, check the procedure, ask my collegues so that by the time I reject an application, I am sure I am doing the right thing. Can you imagine, you wait for 35 days for a response and the application is coming back in the mail through no fault of yours.
