Don't get paranoid yet. It means that Mississauga rec'd it on that date. Once you were approved as a sponsor (April 5) they will forward it on to Sydney. Your spouse will get an email when it's rec'd in Sydney. They send the applications via diplomatic pouch, so there is very little chance it wouldn't get there in one piece. My advice is to sit back and relax. If you've sent a complete straight forward application you'll only have another 5 or 6 months to wait, Sydney seems to be very quick for the most part.....don't look at my timeline as an example of that however.coldwater said:Hi guys! I am a newbie here. On April 5 I received an email from Immigration Canada stating that I have been approved as a sponsor, i.e. cleared Stage 1, accordingly my husband's documents were forwarded to the Sydney Office. Now on ECAS when I enter the application it says the following:
"We received your application for permanent residence on March 11, 2013.
Medical results have been received."
Does this mean that the Sydney Office received my spouse's application on March 11 or is it when the Visa Office in Canada received it? I'm thinking it's the Canada Office since that's when they received my application and I don't think it's possible for the Sydney Office to receive my spouse's application the same day as the Canada Office sends it or is it?
I just want to know if his application has reached the Sydney Office in one piece. Can I email them and ask them? I'm just getting really paranoid. Please help
Has your spouse not received an email yet? If they are able to access e-cas too, that means Sydney has rec'd it. I've just looked at the spreadsheet again and the shortest stage 2 AOR is 1 day and the longest is 40 days, you're still in the middle there. I'm sure your spouse will get an email in the next week or so. Hang on tight, immigration is not for the feint of heart, it's definitely the most difficult test of patience I have ever endured.coldwater said:Thanks Canstralian. I guess I'm just really impatient. I just don't understand why it would take them so long just to tell us that they have received our application. It's now been a bit over 3 weeks since I received a letter from Immigration Canada telling me that they have forwarded my spouse's application to the Sydney Visa Office but still no notification from Sydney
