dear sasmak,,,but im not in canada,im in morocco,,it's an outland sponsorship application,,,what you just told me seems like an inland application sponsorshipsasmak said:Ok first up, you need to take it easy getting worked up is exactly what i did when my application was in process, All the doubts in your mind are making you paranoid.
If CIC says your application is in process it is. I know its been long since you received any response from them but that is how it works, here in Canada you dont get to talk to the officers face to face until the time comes for interviews etc.
Now what i can tell is your application is not outbound it is Inbound, How i know this is i applied inbound and the same issue as you "why did i not receive a letter saying what my client number is etc" the first letter you will receive from Immigration is the approval letters saying your spouse is able to sponsor you i.e. met financial requirements etc. Then you will receive your letter, in my case they sent my wifes letter to our home address and mine went to my old address which they had on file when i first came to canada as a student. It was not until i got my wifes letter and followed up with CIC that i discovered my approval letter had been sent to my old address and was told that a new one would be sent out in three weeks even though a decision had been made.
I submitted my application in December of 2009 and did not hear anything until September 2010.
Take it easy friend and like they say no news is sometimes good news
thank you anyway
