ok, finally I got some kind of notification email from CIC.

According to email they received my application on Feb 28th, 2012 (I was thinking March 1st, 2012)

Now, I do have a Application Number, at this point I can't track it on ecas. That's it , there is no additional information about Sponsorship Approval. The email says:


UCI:  xxxxxxxx
Application No.:  Fxxxxxxxxx
Quote these numbers when corresponding with our office.

Called CIC today in the morning, letting them know that I didn't get any letter from CIC which was send on june 4'th 2012.

I was told the letter was indeed send on June 4'th and I would have to wait for 4 weeks and then call them back so that they can resend the letter.

Good news is, the agent told my sponsorship application was approved.

Congrats!

do not lose faith , on an average it takes 100 to 105 days. My application was received by cpc-m on Feb 28th, 2012, and I got an email notification from CIC last night confirming that my application got received. They are actually going now start processing my application, so may be another week or two to get the approval.  So I would say end of June to early July , you will hear something from cic.

In the meantime, keep the faith, and do not worry too much, it will come, think positive.

Smart Juice, use the UCI to log in, that's how I logged in.

tried both UCI and application number , but can't track it, no information as of yet.

[Fencesitter]

Question: when CIC-M sends the application to the VO for processing, does it go via diplomatic courier? 

Thanks,
