SEPTEMBER 2013 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS

[geedsey20]

Where should I send the email to and what should I ask? Anyone tried it before?

I'd tried it once because were worried that time we dont receive anything yet from both email and mailing address so i searched an email address for CIC to follow up, so i found this Question@cic.gc.ca then after 3business days they've replay and got email informing me that they've received our application Sept 24 and send our papers already to our VO coz my hubby is eligible to sponsor.. Yu can send your question with the same email where we send ours... goodluck

Why would you send an email so soon? CIC request that people don't send emails unless the application has passed the usual processing time without people hearing anything. Your application has only just gone in!

It's worth remembering that the same people that work on applications are the same VO's that have to sort through papers so they can respond to emails. So, every email they get delays the processing of applications.

Sponsorship applications are currently taking 27 days to process. They say they are, "Working on applications received on September 5, 2013". You can see that here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp
CIC don't always send AoR's (I never got one and our applications are well under way). It's not uncommon to get nothing until decisions are made.
This immigration process is a long one and requires loads of patience. I personally wouldn't email CIC until a few weeks after they say they are processing applications received on the same date as my one.

That said, if you didn't indicate that you wanted to receive notifications by e-mail it would be worth sending an e-mail to get this changed if you don't want to wait for things to come in the post.

Good points.. Thanks. I will wait.

Any new updates to any applicant?
SA's? AOR's?

Good luck everyone!

 

[MrSputnik]

The only update on our application is that eCAS finally shows 'Decision Made' on the sponsor application status. No AOR from the VO so far. But we only got SA last Thursday and yesterday was a holiday. So we are not expecting to get an AOR from the VO any time soon.

I also haven't received anything new. I hear that getting AOR from Vienna (or perhaps any office) is rare, so I'm thinking I'll be sitting with the same updates for months :S. We shall see!

I got a 'decision made' notice on ecas. Says letter was mailed on October 11. Meds were also received. Looks like all is going well. They took quite a while on my application ( prob coz it was 12 inches thick). But anyway both the aor update and the decision update were only updated right next day after I sent Cic emails to update my file on ecas asap. Although I emailed them before the avg processing time the action in each case was taken next day. I had emailed them on Friday to update my ecas and saw an update this morning. Same when I didn't receive aor for about 2 weeks I emailed them and next day it showed up. But anyway onto the next step my record can be updated on the spreadsheet.

Doesnt really mean anything, you are still on progress for SA (probably medicals were received as you mailed them initially with your application)
