Congratulations Lemondrop - I've been waiting for news from your side because your name looked a bit alone on the spreadsheet! Happy for you that you got approved, and good luck for Stage 2 !

I think if you include your email in your application they email you, it's an implied directive to contact you through email. I remember reading that somewhere but it wasn't really obvious in the application.
Not sure they email sponsorship approvals, i think it's only notice of receipts. I provided my email and I got a letter in the mail. |

I think the reason that some Visa Officers send stuff snail mail instead of email is that they get kickbacks from Canada Post to use the old fashioned method! |

Congrats, Lemondrop! Great news!! Weird how they send some of us an e-mail and the rest snail mail...at least they're consistent about not being consistent!

Thanks Fencesitter, did receive the 2 PM's from me? I replied to your message, but didn't know if you got them. |

HI FIRST CONGRATULATION SO LS YOU CAN GIVE THE NUMBER WHAT YOU CALL? THNX
I called 1-613-944-4000 after they start speaking I pressed 1,2,1,1,2,1,0 and that will take you straight to the line that you need to be on to speak to someone....that is if you live outside of Canada like me. |

Hi Lemondrop,
Thanks for the PM and congrats again. I'm crossing my fingers.
Cheers
Thanks Marcopolocan, I sent you another PM...it'll work out for you! I handwrote my entire application so yours should be fine...I sent you the number I called as I'm outside of Canada too. |

Thanks everyone! I was getting worried...now just waiting for that letter to arrive...don't know why it's taking so long cause they said they sent it off on July 13th. But I'm sure they can resend it if they have to or tell me what I need to do at this point if I need to redo anything. I did provide my email also on the application but I didn't get anything that way. Glad my name isn't sitting there by itself on the spreadsheet anymore, lol...sorry I haven't been keeping track on there cause I've been a bit busy here lately. Goodluck to everyone waiting for first stage  approval right now and hopefully second step is smooth for all of us also! |

Yes, I did. I typed out a reply to one of them and then when I tried to send something happened to my connection and I lost the message...didn't have time to re-type it, sorry... Glad that everything is going well with you...on to stage 2!! Exciting times ahead! FS |
