April 2012 applicants, join here.

I received an email from CPC-M on Monday evening..

"This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2012/04/13"

I think this is the Acknowledgement of Receipt. This email included an application number, I guess this is the 'reference number' for sponsoring my wife.

I have been checking the ecas everyday now, and there is no update on it when I check it through Client ID/Receipt Number/Application Number. It's Thursday now, and I have not received sponsorship approval email yet.

Is ecase updated daily, or as the status change? Do they always send email for sponsorship approval, or maybe they send in snail mail sometimes?

the email you got was your AOR
and you need not worry for the approval so early. sometimes cic takes couple of weeks. even i was worried when i was not getting one. or it can be like they send you the letter (snail mail)
ecas for stage 1 is updated once a week but since you have already passed that one then my advice is keep checking ecas daily.

I received my AOR July 10... as they have received my file on April 11, 2012... I'm thinking of waiting till tomorrow to call them regarding my approval... is it just right time or is it too early to hear for an approval? What do you think guys?

can you log onto ecas and see if a decision is made under sponsor.....for some reason sometimes the mail out the approval as opposed to emailing it......so I suggest you try and log on ecas first and see what is up!

 

[misskay]

I'm guessing the person who opened my file has now gone away camping or something. Another day, another call, another "we're still working on it".

Bah!

It took 3 business days until I could access ecas. It's anyone's guess how long it will take for approval. I got mine the day after AOR but misskay and fireluck have been waiting since April 10th and 11th.
