Thread for applications sent April 2010

[lily1972]

Hello everyone.....
i still cannot see any change in our status on ecas..... we received a letter from CPC-M on May 14 stating that my sposnorship is approved on may 11 and the file is sent to the visa processing office .....(abu dhabi).... then again on may 25 my wife received an email from the visa processing office regarding her file number and request for another form (IMM5549)to be filled and sent.... and she has already sent that.......
but today when i checked the ecas ... with the client id .... and my (sponsor) details.... it only shows decision made ...(sponsor approval) and thats all.... if i try entering the file no (B......) it say information not available.....
is this normal??? i m a bit worried now.....
your answers will be appreciated.... thank you

Don't worry. It's too early. It's takes few months. Check about your country or city on the site and you'll see how long time it can takes. w w w.cic.gc.ca/English/information/times/international/01-all.asp

Approximately how long will it take? the website says only 30% of the applications are decided upon in 5 months! i find it too long a period..

Nobody will answer you on this question. Only wait news from your office in New Delhi

I've been going through this forum for a long time. i got married in feb, my husband is now a citizen in Canada. i sent all the docs and the application was submitted in April. On may 17th, he got a mail approving his sponsorship. and that the doc has been sent to New Delhi. the sponsor application status reads decision made and the permanent residence application status reads "not available". . wondering how when they will change the status.

It can take about 2-3 weeks for ND to start working on your file.

Sent my application to sponsor my US husband to Mississauga, received by them on April 22. Have not heard anything yet.

The website provided to you was not specifically for spousal immigration. The correct website is

http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp

where it shows that New Delhi processes 30% of the cases in 2 months and 80% of the cases are processed up to 6 months. My file was transferred to Delhi on April 30 and I received AOR on May 24 (through Ecas) that the Permanent Residence is now "In-Process".

The latest update for me is that today, May 31, we got the official letter stating that they have started our file and they have requested my husband's passport as well.

ND ask to submit a passport right after they start working on your file, your letter should be on its way. Also, try not to send via Speed Post...

i just received a letter asking me to send them the fee receipt, police clearance certificate (both if not sent already) and the original passports. they sent it trough ordinary post. We can send the passport through some courier service right?
