This more than likely means you got Sponsor Approved. :D
Except for the "correspondence" line, we had this for the entire time until we got SA. So, not necessarily, unfortunately.

but on the PRA side it shows application received
Yes, that's what mine showed as well when I got Sponsor Approved. :)
So what it is, is we essentially submitted two applications, both of which they have received.

The Sponsor Application, which is for you to sponsor your spouse.

The Permanent Resident Application, which is for your spouse to move here.

Once they are done with the Sponsor Application, they will send you an email telling you that you met the requirements to sponsor your spouse.
Then they will go ahead and start processing your spouses application to move here.

Ooooh, really? I just assumed so from what I experienced and have seen majority of everyone else experience as well.

the only way to check your application online is by having an application number or UCI which they will send you on the email. if you dont have your application number maybe you can try your UCI number in CIC page.
I actually just called them, and it turns out they started processing my application on August 3. They also gave me my application number so I can finally check my status.

Just received our SA, we're located in Melbourne, Australia but the SA has stated it will go to Ottawa for processing, does the app get transferred to Sydney at a later stage?

I see your VO is Ottawa - I've read in a few threads that some VOs (Ottawa being one of them) don't always send an AOR2 :) I got my SA email on 8/26 and haven't received an AOR2...I'm thinking we probably won't :D

Sorry, I forgot to answer :eek:

And in addition to that, I remembered incorrectly. I had exactly your lines, including the one with "we sent you correspondence...". From day1 of access to ECAS, which is the day of AOR1.
