Depends on what she was asking
If she meant the AOR or SA it's sent to the sponsor
The passport request is to the applicant (sponsored person)

Just wanted to clarify :)
thank you for your help, but no i wasnt asking abt the AOR or SA as we already got those on OCT02,2013.

thanks again :D

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but on my wife's(sponsor) ECAS it says: Decision Made and that they sent a letter on Oct 10 (my wife hasnt received it yet). Does your ECAS literally says that the SA was approved?
How long you all think we should wait for the said letter to arrive before contacting CIC?
I would suggest you call the CIC and ask them. The call centre executives are pretty responsive and they would tell you the status of your application.

Guys, my wife got her passport request this a few hours ago from NDVO :) , we are preparing a few things and will be sending it to them next week.
Congratulations!
Can you tell me what other things do you need to send along with the Passport. My wife has some work related travel in the month of November and that would be the time when she might receive the passport request. So I want her to be prepared in advance.

Thanks!

The email says the following are needed :

• Payment of your Right of Permanent Resident Fee (landing fee) to our office in
Mississauga by your sponsor in Canada, if not already paid.

• Submission of police clearance certificates for time spent in any country for a period
of 6 months or more, if not already submitted.

• Submission of original passport along with any old expired passports for you and your
accompanying family members. The picture in the passport for a child under 6 years
of age must have been taken within the last 3 years. The picture in the passport for a
child between the ages of 7 and 18 must have been taken within the last 5 years.

I hope this helps if anybody is in a similar situation:

Got ECAS updated last week (on Oct 17) saying that they made a decision related to the Sponsor Approval on Oct 10 and that they sent a letter; until today (11 days later) we received an email with the Sponsorship Approval info.

(I was freaking out wondering if CanadaPost may have misplaced the letter or something) :p

That's awesome! Congrats!
Thanks, just a note to other applicants, the FIRST thing NDVO does is a passport request, unlike other offices, where it is the last item on the list. So this is equal to an AOR from the visa office.

Yeah, and if I may ask, did you checked your spam folder already? Maybe the email from CIC on the sponsorship approval is in there.
You might want to check it in your email. :) :) :)

From the NDVO only passport requests from Feb-May are getting their visas, so I'm not holding my breath. They can still call you for an interview or ask for more documents after the passport request.

Hi Good day everyone! I'm from the Philippines and my husband (Filipino but a permanent resident in Canada) is sponsoring me under Family Class. He received an email from CIC that our application was received Sept. 26, 2013. Since then we haven't heard back from them. I'm starting to get worried because there are some Oct applicants whose sponsorship's have already been approved and forwarded to the Manila Visa Office while our application hasn't been moving. I checked our online status in the CIC website and it states "application received". What should we do? Any suggestions? Do we call them to follow up?

Manila Visa Office
Medical exam: Sept 5, 2013
Received in Mississauga per courier: Sept 25
Received by CIC per email and online status: Sept 26
Sponsorship approval: ??
Forwarded to Manila visa ofc: ??
Passport request: ??
