Hi Guys!

i just logged on to ecas...
and checked..

it says..We received your application to sponsor ........ on January 16, 2012.

this is the message.. now, what should we be waiting for, does this mean we have got sponsorship approval? please tell...

congrats indian spouse
its AOR and you will get your approval soon

[missmini]

Maybe you are from a visa exempt country. For non visa exempt country it's different.

actually u can access the e-cas once u get the AOR; visa / non-visa exempt country has nothing to do with it at this stage

I'm just curious, are you the sponsor or applicant? What's your VO? I dont see you on our spreadsheet.

I am a Canadian citizen and the sponsor...Feb. applicant as shown on my profile...I wish I were in Jan!

just checked my ECAS awhile ago (5 days after i received the AOR thru email) and here's my status:

Can I log into ECAS if I haven't received an AOR?

Can I log into ECAS if I haven't received an AOR?

There is an option to use your receipt number

[-FIREFLY-]

Congrats guys!

Just got off the phone with CIC. sponsorship is still "in process" and they say they can't send an email to the case officer until its been in process for a month (even though they started processing around 60 days after receiving it.) sigh

This information might be useful to someone. CIC told us, when it says "medical received" that means your application has arrived at your outside VO.
She also told us, medical is valid for one year. I thought I read 6 months one place and 3 months on this forum. I'm confused.

(wishing you good news today alf+jlh!!!)

yes the receipt number is one of the option but from what i've seen in dec thread and here it never worked for anyone an old client id could work (like it did for indian_spouse)....but if u don't have that either then the only way is to patiently wait for the AOR or the direct approval

Thanks missmini and Dr Eng X. Where can I find the receipt number? I just have the tracking number from when I couriered the application. Absolutely no communication from them after that.

hii Firefly!!! thanks for sharing it with us it's interesting both the inquiry email and abt the medicals it's ok ur turn will come
FYI different documents have different expiry dates; the medicals r valid for one year or one year since u took the x-ray if it didn't happen in the same day; usually the police certificates r valid 3 months; and the 6 months ones, well maybe some documents from some specific countries r valid 6 months too, but didn't hear abt it

also don't take e-cas word per word; some officers will never update it; it gives u a vague idea and maybe overall picture of the process but it also has plenty of bugs of course it also depends on the VO and specific officers; hmm i wonder if they say which embassy has the medicals (we r part of a group where the embassy we wrote down is now closed and it will not b clear for some time which embassy will process => and where the medicals were sent LOL) i guess somehow we'll know when the time comes we take it step by step

good luck everyone....hope we'll have a faboulous week (like the nice spring weather) with lots of good news and activity in our table (busy week for Amanda )

Your receipt number is the serial number that was on the payment you made the Immigration Canada for the PR application. If you did it by mail, it should be on the top right hand side but most likely you did on the internet so you should have kept a copy for yourself and it will have a confirmation number on it.

For me, that didn't work. It only worked a week after I received my AOR and I used our Application No.

Hope this helps!
