APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[rashu268]

Has anyone from April got their SA yet?

CIC received my application on April 4th, and I got my AOR1 on April 27th.

Thanks,

Very few have got. Mostly from US.
Today CIC updated the processing time again to 40 days

If you are able to access your eCas online. Then update it over there

what is the eCas online is it the On-line Services sir?because in dis website, it only indicates, change your mailing address, contact us, but it says here that if I have an application in process, you must tell CIC if you change your addres...anyway I think our papers is not in process yet because we only just received AOR lastweek...or I'll just send or notify them the correct mailing address after receiving SA?

Hello,

I'm sponsoring my wife from US. Received SA on May 16 saying that the application was being sent to Ottawa. Today, Sponsorship Application Status says In Progress, but Permanent Residence Application Status says Decision Made.

Under Permanent Residence Application Status, it lists:

We received NAME's application for permanent residence on April 4, 2016.
We started processing NAME's application on May 13, 2016.
Medical results have been received.

The medical results have always been there since AOR, just the "We started processing NAME's application on May 13, 2016." is new.

What does Decision Made mean in this context?

I called CIC again today. The agent was very rude. He said after first enquiry wait for 90 days.
I do not know what is going on. Probably they are getting a lot of calls for SAs, and that`s why they are behaving like this.

If the principle applicant's status was changed to Decision Made, then that means she will be receiving her COPR in the mail soon. This super quick processing seems to be very common right now for Ottawa applications. It comes in a brown envelope through regular mail. Sometimes CIC doesn't update sponsor ECAS correctly, so don't let it worry you. This is leading me to believe they are doing the whole "dual processing" thing right now, which means they are reviewing both applications at the same time to reduce processing time.

A fourth line was added to my PA ecas this morning.

"We sent you correspondence on May 17, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required."

This was my FBI request which was sent to them just hours after they asked. I received a personal response to my submission stating they received it & my application would be finalized shortly. Hoping that we get something more definite soon.

wow.. he told you not to inquiry/call back in 90 days? that's crazy!

He cant do that!

He cant do that!

These people are human. What do you think might happen to your file after your fourth call. I would not go crazy phoning them all the time. Would I wait 90 days no. But I would be careful. No proof of this only what human nature tells me.

Thanks for the responses. Wow! That's crazy quick. The call centre agent I just spoke to wouldn't even open my file, saying that since it hasn't been 17 months yet, she can't tell me anything. Said that Decision Made doesn't mean anything and that it could be a result of being moved to the Ottawa centre. Thoughts?

Oh, and I logged in to my wife's ECAS and it's the same exact info.

SA time is updated to 40 days. I am in 42 now. There are people with over 50 days.
I am not sure why CIC has put SAs on hold.

MP enquiry is the only possible option as far as I see

Monday is a national holiday so can`t expect on Monday too
