Temporary application number question!

[CaroM8]

Good morning everybody!

Yesterday I was able to link our application using the partner sign in with Scotiabank. I saw that we have a temporary application number starting with XF.

I tried to find our application using ECAS, but was unsuccessful. Is it because of the temporary number? Maybe I just have to wait until we get the real one.

Also, does the temporary number assure us that the application won't be sent back? I am a bit worried about that, because the postal service here in Guatemala has completely stopped (something about a government contract not being renewed, don't ask). So I don't know how it would even get to us, unless CIC uses a courier service to send back?

Lastly, does my husband (PA) also have to create an account to follow the application online, or will we be able to do it through mine?

Gracias!!

It's hard to say. Did you make copies of what you sent? There is a CIC operations manual that does describe what constitutes a minimum requirement for an application. I can send you that if you have copies to verify..

My wife and I have to view her application through her account. I had it linked to mine, but when she tried to link as well, myCIC dropped the linkage to my account with a stern email telling me that someone else has linked the application...

Well we sent everything on the checklists, and more! So if there is some secret checklist I am unaware of then what the heck?? haha

So it's better if we just follow our application the way it is now, through my account with the partner thing?

This secret checklist is what CPC-M is using to validate/return applications... It's public knowledge. google: cic operation manuals. You'd be surprised what's there. I'll suggest printing it and leaving it in the bathroom though..

I would probably just follow it as it is until your have an F00 number.. my $0.05 anyway...

That sounds like some fascinating reading material

I think I am just being a tad paranoid.. Hopefully AOR comes real soon! Once it does, I'll be able to see our app on the ECAS thing right?

yeah but myCIC is better... and for the record, it's fascinating if you want to understand the process, then it's boring as hell...
