They will reply to his emails if he provides his information and file number. If you have already provided File number to him then I am afraid he will get a reply if he emails them directly. As far as I know there is no way you can block him from getting emails as he is the applicant.
i havent provided him file # yet but if CHC-I email him then he will get it for sure..... and as u told me i cant change email to mine so he is gonna handle everything... :( what abt address? can i change mailing address????

Hey guys. How long does it take for the Immigration Centre in Missassauga to acknowledge that they have received the application for the first time, and what mode do they use? Do they email?

I sent my application on 8th October, just wondering.

Address could only be changed with a change of address letter that he will have to sign.

Check your PM.

Currently its taking them 69 days and they are working on applications received on August 2, 2011.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

They will send you a letter stating that you are approved as a sponsor and the file is transfered to CHC-Islamabad.

Thanks again wes786, but that's after they've approved us as a sponsor. Isn't any acknowledgement sent by them when they receive the application for the first time?

Nope.. If you sent it with TCS, you can check the date it was delivered using TCS tracking number on TCS's website.

Syedgj ! no Mississauga does not send any acknowledgment letter, just their decision letter. I received my decision letter only within 15 days from them but it was last year but now they are taking somewhere between 45 to 60 days.

It's been 2 weeks since I called CIC-M and they told me they will send the approval letter , I should receive it within 2 weeks. I have not received it yet! ! :mad: Without it I cannot go ahead with the Quebec application. This is frustrating. It's a Monday and their lines are all busy.

Thank you very much for your kind perspective - those who replied to this message. Appreciate it. Warm regards.

Welcome to the forum brother!

You will get all the originals back when your wife gets her Visa, so you are looking at 16 months if your case is straight forward. Make copies of all the originals you are sending and if possible get it attested. Also, it would be a good idea to scan the originals and keep an electronic copy of it just incase if she needs it for something. Everyone from Pakistan is supposed to send the original birth certificate, educational certificates, Nikkah nama/ Marriage certificate etc, so there is no way to avoid it.
