I wouldn't give much trust to the info that comes out of the call centre, misskay. Two days before I got my approval, they told me to call back in a month, though they were processing apps April 2 and mine was sent in Apr 3. You will hear from them this week. I'm sure of it

Quick Update: I finally reached CIC by phone this morning. The agent advised me that my file is currently being worked on, and I can expect an answer on sponsorship approval (stage 1) by August 11th.

I'm now even more confused, as I was under the impression that sponsorship approval was fairly straight-forward after receipt of AOR (which was 5 days ago). My sponsor has no criminal history, and has never claimed any government assistance. Additionally, my immigration application status says that medical results have been received, which would suggest that stage 2 processing has already commenced.

I guess time will tell!

Another quick way to find if your application is being processed is through your employer. I am not sure if CIC calls your HR manager/supervisor (whichever Number you have provided) to check the genuinity of the employement letter. Anybody have any idea about this?

Thanks

No they don't contact your employer.

Misskay, I don't think they start working on your file the day of the AOR. It just gets open and ready to be next in line. Or many apps might be getting worked on at the same time. It is normal to take 2 days to a month. For me it was one week.
