Thread for applications sent OCTOBER 2009

[catchvb]

There are 3 Identification Type at CIC's website while checking the application status which I feel applies for PR application.
1.> ClientID Number
2.>Receipt Number(IMM5401)
3.>Immigration File Number

I am not sure what are these and when will you get it. Can someone explain it.

Thank You.

1.> ClientID Number - that is a spouse client id that given in the letter sent from Missisauga
2.>Receipt Number(IMM5401) - that is the number given in the receipt you got after paying money on-line
3.>Immigration File Number - that is given to the sponsored spouse in the AOR letter from the visa office

So, after reading so many posts of people whose sponsorship was approved so quickly, I began checking e-CAS obessively. I am very happy to say that this morning it told me that a decision has been made yesterday and that they sent me a letter.

I am very excited and hopeful. It seems like most people whose sponsorship was approved within a day have been successful with their applications.

Best of luck, everyone!

The waiting time is approx 35 days before stage 1 is approved.

many who have sent there application in during the 1st half of Oct hav received there 1st stage approval in a bout 20 days or so.

You just sent your application is this week, so dn't expect anything for a 3 or 4 weeks. Mine was recieved at CPC last friday, and nothing yet.

I know its not easy, just gotta be patient

I do have to say that all things considered, CIC moves amazingly fast on this class of applications.

I know when my parents decided to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class in the mid 1990's, it took them over 2 years to get everything done. So these 3-4 months that most people have to wait are absolutely nothing...

does anyone know someone who has applied via UK, that isn't a British citizen, my wife hold a Tanzanian passport and is a work permit issued to her after she finished university for 2 yrs that expires end of Oct 2010. Im wondering is there a time difference in approvals from London for those holding UK passports and those on work permits.

Hi TJ,

I am not speaking from direct experience, so please take my opinion with a grain of salt. But I do not think that it'll take any additional time. After all, your wife had to jump through a number of hoops to get the student visa already, so the UK already has done a lot of security checks on her. Hence, I wouldn't imagine it to be significantly longer than for a British citizen.
