Hi all, after sending more proof that relationship is genuine, I passed eligibility requirements to be sponsored (today!). My partner got approved as Sponsor 2 weeks ago. I still haven't received any requests for fingerprints..What is to expect next?
I apologize if this question has been answered already, I feel lost with this procedure and all abbreviations...Thank you!
Not everyone gets asked for fingerprints ( my husband did not ) I would think that you would go to the Decision made part next if you have the sponsor approval and accepted in principal. Good luck shouldn't be too much longer I hope !

Dec 11 applicant.

Hubby just received the email/letter that he has met the "requirements for eligibility as a sponsor" -- is this the AIP?

I haven't received anything yet though.
This is sponsor approval SA you will be next with AIP usually they are pretty quickly sent together.

Thanks for the clarification! :)

I just checked ECAS and it said Decision Made on the main page (PR application status) but then when I click it the only updated line there was :
We started processing your application on October 20, 2018.
They don't update the page you are just looking for the Decision made and it looks like you are done. The letters don't always come but you should now be waiting for a landing letter which is the most important ! :)

Hey guys !

My Girlfriend and I both have DM on ECAS since this morning !

But we didn’t receive AIP or SA letter .... is that normal ?
Lots of times letters don't come through (although check your junk/spam folders) the most important is the landing letter :) congratulations !

Just wanted to share something with you guys.
We received SA and AIP yesterday October 23.
Online application is still showing "Reviewing eligibility", phone system is saying "Reviewing eligibility", but Application status ONLINE TOOL is showing DM and we have not received our DM letter yet.
Looks like ONLINE TOOL in the most up to date one.
Yes that one seems like it always correct the rest takes time to catch up. Congratulations :)

Call them again might you will get good agent and tell him to emails to the office might help you!
@Perrybrown so after 3 days i was able to get hold of an agent today! She was nice and said she would email the Vancouver office for me but the local office would not reply back to her.
It is a waiting game mostly and we should hear from the local office soon hopefully :mad: the wait is hardest towards the end !!

I guess I will give them a call too and try my luck. Wishing both of us a reply with an invite for an interview VERY SOON. I have to drive in from Kelowna and would prefer it sooner than later with driving through the mountains.

Hi Everyone,

My application was received on Nov 3, 2017. I received my AIP and SA on October 2, 2018, and ECAS status is changed to DM on the same day. However, I still have not received an official DM letter, nor have I heard back anything on the landing interview.
- Any ideas what's going on? What does a DM letter look like?
- I should be landing at the Kitchener office, anyone knows how soon can you get a landing interview?

What do most people mean by DM? The status on ECAS or an actual letter?

We didn't get a DM letter .. but from what I've see it says something like they've completed your processing and you will be notified by the office where you will be landing.
Every office is different ... it's so hard to predict.
We got ours the day we had DM for 18 days from that day.

It means Decision made which is the status on ECAS usually, but not all the time, once this changes on ECAS you get a letter saying your application processing has been completed and the landing office closest to you will contact you with an appointment time.

hey, thank you for your reply. Do you mean you got invited to the landing interview 18 days after you get the DM status on ECAS? And is it from the Kitchener office?
