MandiF said:Congrats to all for AOR and medellinguy & jma for DM. Canda I've added you to our list and hopefully it will help you work out when you should receive your next contact.
Good luck to all. All outland almost have sponsorship approval except for malaika, SarahL, Saisn, Jeff, zabrinaw and coldgirl. Hopefully coldgirl will be receiving information in the next couple of days, and Saisn and Jeff, we know you both have had problems with yours, but hopefully you'll get it off to Missassauga soon, and hopefully malaika will get some notification soon, but as zabrinaw hasn't posted since 17th November and SarahL since 15th October if we don't have any updates from them by the end of the weekend I'll remove them from the list.
Fingers crossed for everyone's applications to process very very fast!

Mandif thanks so much for adding us to the list and thanks for the support guys]
I don't know about the kit number but if you sent in the original sponsorship agreement form, they would have returned it, as you should have only sent in a copy. So don't worry about it.jma said:hi guys just a quick question

Rinnerz said:I was wondering this same thing, so I did a bunch of Google searches about it a few days ago. Breakdown:
Client ID number: Number assigned to someone for their dealings with CIC while inside Canada. Not used by Canadian visa offices abroad.
File Number: Number assigned to your application/file by your overseas visa office once they have received your file. Not used by any CIC offices within Canada.
Kit ID number: Since inland and outland Canadian visa offices use different ways to identify applicants' files (client ID versus file number, for example), the Kit ID number is what the inland offices use to refer to applications in any correspondence between them and the outland offices. It's a universal way of identifying an application package. It's not often even mentioned though, since obviously we as applicants/sponsors always just use client IDs when contacting inland CIC, and file numbers (once we get them) when dealing with outland Canadian visa offices.
Example answer I found via Google: "Usually the KIT ID # is for application done outside Canada. Is it for immigration purposes of when they transfer the files over to the country of the person being sponsored. In visa offices in the other countries they have a different system than CIC here and with that KIT ID # is how to correspond." Thread (see last reply): immigration.ca/discussion2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26314. That link keeps breaking every time I edit this post, but just toss http:// infront of it.
So, in theory, you could technically use your Kit ID number when corresponding with your outland office, if you don't have your actual file number yet (i.e. haven't received AOR yet). In theory. Obviously I've never done this, myself.
EDIT: @ QCSunshine: 1) Your receipt number is very different from your file number. You won't get your file number until you receive your AOR from your visa office. 2) I don't have a clue about French, but it makes sense that "ID de la trousse" would have translated into "application number", since your Kit ID number is just a number assigned to your application package to identify it.
I sent my missing information in and it should be there tomorrow. Hopefully things go fast from there.MandiF said:and Saisn and Jeff, we know you both have had problems with yours, but hopefully you'll get it off to Missassauga soon
Indeed. Absolutely no updates from my side. In a day or so, it will have been 1 month since they approved sponsorship and transferred my file, and I still haven't seen any eCAS update whatsoever, nor my AOR. While eCAS is not always the most reliable thing in the world, and AOR can take time due to mail delays, it's still frustrating to hope everyday for something and see... nothing.Millu said:any new updates???
urgh, this waiting seems to last forever
