Congratulations! that was very fast from AOR to Sponsor approval, it gives hope to the rest of April applicants that they are picking up the pace...
Now on to second stage - good luck! Sweden
actually i could call it tragic that it takes them 3 months to open the file and a couple of hours to approve. i mean, come on !!!

true! :-) it's funny how we just all adapted to a different scale with CIC! It seems that things are getting better for May and June people who gets AOR quicker, and fast approval as well - I wish it had been the same for me, but well.... Happy for the others! Sweden

It has been over a week since I received AOR, with absolutely no word on stage 1 approval. I've called several times today, to be disconnected each time. Has anybody had to wait over a week after receipt of AOR???

Guys come on, don't be that negative... we can't do anything other than just waiting... so be more patient and good result will come to you. Please remember a couple things here:
1. There was no way that your cases got lost by CIC so no worry about that. 2. Approval of the first stage should be pretty staight forward and I haven't heard anyone failed during this stage so it is just the matter of time... 3. keep your eyes away from your email, CIC website and this forum for a couple days and you will get some surprises when coming back.
Cheers for all the Aprils

Yes it may be a little tragic but we have all kept as positive as possible with each other's support. I am not sure if others feel this way, but I find it irritating that you keep posting groaning comments about the time line and your approval in the April thread. Most of have waited a long time and kept our heads up and its terribly annoying to see your comments when you have submitted a month after all of us. Just my two cents

I agree. May and June need to chill out and maybe stay out of the April thread. April is stressed out enough!
