Hello, the good news is you have lots of company the bad news is there are applicants from Jan 11 onwards who haven't received either an acknowledgement letter or sponsorship decision. If you take a look at the January 2012 thread, some people have reported that call centre agents have mentioned that there are computer problems at Mississauga at the moment, which could be why actual processing times are in the range of 70-80 days. It's extremely frustrating that the website doesn't reflect reality but what can we do except be patient for a while longer... At this rate, late Jan applicants could hear from CPC-M by the end of April Sorry there isn't better news.kham6490 said:Hello,
I have applied for my wife's immigration to Canada under Family Class Category. I am a Canadian Citizen and my wife is an Indian Citizen. I applied on January 30th and we still have not received a response from CPC-M that our Step 1 of the application has been approved. We have waited the 55 day time period as noted on their website and have had no luck with the call centre either. Can someone please let me know when I can get an answer for Step 1 to be approved and once the application goes to India how much longer it should take? Thanks for the help!
Once your file gets to New Delhi, depending on how straightforward your case is, whether your wife has travelled or resided outside India, whether the genuineness of your marriage is readily apparent, etc. then stage 2 could take 3-6 months. Take a look at the ND spreadsheet maintained by Vengat (in this thread) to get an idea of other people's timelines.
Good luck and keep posting if you have updates.
