Still haven't receive the SA email either. We got biometric request which is now approved. I guess for some the SA email might never come.

I had same update on ECAS ( Decision made ) this morning . I called IRCC this morning to inquire about it and they confirmed it is now Sponsored approved ( SA) and should move to next stage .So Don't worry much on it , if you haven't got any communication on it as yet , Having said it will be good for you to call and check which VO is your file transferred to Mississauaga or PA's country VO.

From the tracker, all of November's applicant's have had AOR, minus one or two that were returned back or additional documents have been requested.

When did you contact CIC? Was it via the webform?

Finally, try logging in to ECAS with the receipt number from your payment, it'll be a letter followed by nine digits. Use that and your sponsor's details:

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

To answer your previous question about when was my application couriered,
The application was delivered to Citizenship & Immigration Canada Family Class, 49 Dorchester Street, Sydney, Nova Scotia B1P 5Z2 Canada on November 1, 2018 at 3:08 p.m. and received by Macleod.

I'd try and give them a call to see what's going on. If you're in Canada call +1 888 242 2100, if you're outside of Canada try +613 944 4000.

I called them and they updated me relatively quickly. Thursday & Friday are the best days to call.

If you can't get through, you can contact them via the web form:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

  1. Click Tell us more.
  2. Choose Yes for the "Have you submitted an application for" question.
  3. Choose No for the "Is your application being processed outside Canda?" question.
  4. Click the go-to web form button.
  5. In the type of application, choose sponsorship, then spousal in the box below.
  6. Fill all of the details in. However, in the application number box, put your receipt number in.
  7. For your enquiry, ask them if they can update you on your application as you've now been waiting nearly 4 months for AOR.
You'll get a reply within 7 days and they will provide an update.
As per the guideline I have submitted a follow up on


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

I will post on receiving any update from them

Hi All!

My hubby just received an update about Medical but it's weird:

Review of medical results We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.

We haven't done a medical yet? I know the last medical we did for our last medical exam has already expired?

What does it mean?!?! :confused:o_O:eek:

It changes to that right before they request the medical. Expect the request within a couple of days.

Did you by any chance submit an application for this one that's currently being processed? We withdrew one a couple of years ago....
