Are you using ECAS (CIC check Status) or GCMS (myCIC)?

ECAS: If you use the Application Number, the Sponsor's Surname / DOB / Country of Origin you will see both the PR application and the Sponsorship applications. If you use the Principal Applicant's Surname / DOB / Country of Origin you will see only the PR application (assuming you can see it).

myCIC: You will have to create an account, then you can search for the application and link it to your myCIC account. This is better because you will get a little more detail, and it will notify you when your application changes.

Hi,

I am using My file number, his family name, DOB and country of origin on ECAS but its not locating the application. On the other hand when i (Principal Applicant) type file name, my family name DOC and country of origin i can check the ECAS..

Why is my sponsor unable to access either ECAS or MyCIC? :/

FYI - Just because they received the application does not mean they have opened it yet.

It will be a long while until you are able to see the status online.

Make sure you check your email for any correspondence.

Use Application Number
His Surname
His DOB
His Country of Origin

If that doesn't work, then it's probably because they are still entering the file information.

Then the sponsor should contact CIC to ask about access to ECAS. Did you try myCIC?
