application received question

[gidness]

hi all,

wondering if anyone could help from experience, just that we sent off our application over a month ago to mississauga for family class sponsorship (from the UK my gf is leaving for canada soon) but we have not yet received a letter saying application received.  is this because the application is probably stuck in a pile waiting for attention?  should we be concerned? 

many thanks,

olly

Did you apply "outside Canada" or inland?  I'm assuming outside.  I ask because AIP takes a lot longer for inland.  The processing timeline in Mississauga for outside appications is 49 days.  Mine took about 27 days, but I read on another forum that they are currently taking about 42 days.  I wouldn't be concerned at all until it goes beyond the 49 days.

i applied outside of canada but my sponsor is leaving UK for canada in a few days to work, and to start making plans for our future in canada.  i am planning on visiting in january but was just a bit worried about not hearing anything yet from cic as like everyone else, we dread being apart.

many thanks,

olly
