I intentionally froze the first 3 columns..So that, not all people can just add their timeline and try to squeeze it on the existing spreadsheet and accidentally messed up the existing info on it. The diagonal lines indicates that it can't be alter if you are not an admin. Sorry if i have to do this.. Because there is an incident that i have to retrieve the updated spreadsheet because some people accidentally or intentionally (i don't know) wiped out some info on our spreadsheet. As you can see the spreadsheet is pretty neat with a lot of vital information that can be very helpful for everyone to compare it with that's why i just want to keep it that way and i think this is the best way to prevent those kind of incidents.

I have updated your timeline highlight.. Basically, you can update your color status anytime and then i'll just try to update the first 3 columns time to time for any changes.

For the date, i haven't figure out yet on how to keep the date standard... when you guys enter it.. but just in case it won't go through as the standard date or number..
Just go to the following:

For Date Formate: Format Tab --> Number --> More Formats --> More Dates and Time Formats ---- and then choose the MM-DD-YYYY Format

For Number Format: Format Tab --> Number --> More Formats --> Custom Number Format ---- and then choose "0"
I kinda figured that you had frozen those columns - that's a good idea! - I've been cleaning up the Mexico spreadsheet, which was severely abused so I may incorporate that idea there too...

OK thanks for the heads up on the date formatting...

Congrats to all who are receiving AOR and SA!

Ok so I just called CIC and told them I did not hear from them even though they received my application on January 13.

They entered my info and confirmed they have my file in the system and it was indeed received on January 13.

They told me they don't require further info and everything looks ok.

I'm not sure why I did not get notified of this, is this king of an AOR?

no, it's quite typical for the cic call agent to be able to see in the system that your application has been received, this is not an AOR. cic doesn't just automatically send aor the minute the application is opened and put in the system, i am sure it is a bit delayed based on their work habits/protocols. there are people who don't get AOR and just get SA. so at this point, all you can do is wait until CIC sends either the AOR or SA.

Do you get an email for SA or is it sent via normal mail ?
If you wrote your email on the forms, you'll get it through email only.

that's not exactly true. CIC has been known to send SA through regular mail even when an email was provided. They tend to switch it up every so often.

They didn't return it. Just sent an email two days after AOR to send the documents ASAP.
Then I wouldn't be worried. If the application wasn't returned and they are requesting the missing documents which i assumed you mailed to them, you will not have to start over in the March Queue, give it a few more days and see if you get SA, i received AOR on March 13th but haven't received SA so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

Still nothing for us, January 13 applicant!! :mad: :'(
Well that's a bummer. If nothing comes by the end of the week I would give them a call if I were you. I'm a Jan 13th too, and received my AOR Mar 17th, ECAS fully functional, but still no SA. I'll phone them if nothing comes by the end of the week too, as it's already past the given timeline.

Did you put the sponsors information to access ecas? I have AOR and no SA and ecas can't recognize me or my sponsor in the system.

Yeah, I put the info of my sponsor. It started working 3 days after we received AOR.
