But mycic was just updated and my OWP was APPROVED. not even a month after having submitted my application! Luck of the draw I guess?

wow. I've got tears of joy.

HOW LONG DID THEY PROCESS YOUR OWP? AND WHEN FILLING UP THE FORMS FOR OWP DO YOU NEED TO HAVE A PERSPECTIVE EMPLOYER OR NO? JUST LEAVE IT BLANK ? TIA

I attached it on the webform. Thanks for the help. And congratulations on the quick OWP! Was it one month after you sent it or one month after they approved it?

Your application was received at CIC on March 24th OR they started processing your application on that day?
Can you login to http://cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp and see all details on dates. Thanks :)

Hello Folks,

I applied for Spousal Sponsorship and CIC received my application on March 28th, 2017. So far I haven't received my AOR yet.

So i am bit worried about it, I have seen many people receiving their AOR in less than 10 days.

Can anyone tell me what could be the possible reason for the delay ?

Thanks,
Shawn

Hello people...I have been trying to get across to CIC for to days but on the negative side. I have issue with not getting the request for Shedule A and Police report. Meanwhile I am trying to fill the form and need clearance on the last part of the form; I want to know if I am to sign the last part in the presence of a Government approved official or not. Thanks

Same thing happened to me.

The sent out two batch e-mails in June 2016 which I never received. One requested requesting new forms, IMM5406 and IMM5669 (I had 30 days to respond) and the other e-mail was AOR2. I never got the e-mails and never realized this until I requested GCMS notes in Sept 2016.

I contacted IRCC via call center to inform them and to ask them to resend the e-mail since I never received them. I also sent several CSE requesting that they resend the e-mail. Eventually they did resend the e-mail, though it took while. Whilst I was waiting I resent the requested forms. Unfortunately I did not have the letter requesting the forms. CIC made another request for forms in October 2016 and again in January 2016 (my fault because I had not filled them out completely).

No I do not think you need to sign in front of a Government approved official. Someone else who completed the 2017 Schedule forms forms can clarify that.

Keep trying to call CIC at the call center but also send a CSE (Case Specific Enquiry) here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp.
