Yes I am the sponsor..

When she first said she is calling from the case processing centre mississauga I was suprised that they even make phone calls.. She first asked to make sure she is speaking to the right person by asking few security questions.. I had a feeling that its a spam call.. but then she asked me.. my dob and the name of the person i m sponsoring..

then she asked me about my file.. basically, there was a confusion about the right address.. my pay stubs had my old address.. my application had my current address.. and i also have a different mailing address.. so that created a confusion.. it was all cleared.. i asked is that the reason for the delay for SA.. she said yes.. and i asked her the current processing time shows 36 days.. why is it this long.. she said 36 days is just an average time.. not a deadline they have to meet..

She said I will hear abck from them in a few days about my SA.. she didnt confirm if its approved.. but she said i will hear back..

Just to be extra careful.. i called back that number in 30 mins.. she answered.. i said i was just making sure if its not spam.. she laughed and said its not.. its a usual process..


I m pretty sure it is not a spam call.. but i m still suprised..
Wow... that gives me the impression that they check everything quite thoroughly
Good to hear that this phone call has shed light on the reason for SA delay

It took me 20 days from AOR1 to receive SA - I'm starting to believe that this is due to the amount of materials I sent in and therefore a long time for them to match up the details and check for discrepancy

I think your SA is on its way and you should get it by next week ;D ;D

If it never says Medical Results Received that just means it will have to be done at a future date? We did our medical in October of 2015 which I believe will cause us to have to redo before this entire process is over. The lines we have are:

Sponsorship Application Status
We received your application to sponsor XXXXXX on February 3, 2016.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 17, 2016.
We started processing your application on March 16, 2016.

Permanent Residence Application Status
We received XXXXXXX application for permanent residence on February 3, 2016.
We started processing XXXXXXX application on March 29, 2016.

Police & Drivers Certificates:

Hi everyone, I had my police and drivers history certificate completed at the end of November 2015.. these are good for 6 months right? I'm the PA and my application began processing as per ECAS on March 29th - do you think I will need a new set of certificates or should I just wait to see if they want me to get those again.

Thanks

Has anyone with Ottawa as their VO gotten AOR2 yet? Or at least the third line added on ECAS? I wonder why it's taking so long for us

Ottawa VO doesn't usually send out AOR2 from what I have read. I never received one.

I waited two months with no updates on my ECAS after my file was transferred. By the time I saw the "medicals received", not long after I got DM. My third line was requesting documents. So for two months nothing. That was a hard wait too. Sometimes all you can really do is just wait.

Best Wishes!!

I have the "medicals received" line on the principal applicant's side. How long after receiving my SA should I call CIC if there is no AOR2 or update on ECAS? You mentioned waiting for 2 months, was that until you saw a DM or the documents request? Thanks.

It has been 50 days since they have received our documents, and we still haven't received any reply. Today, we called them, and the response we received was that they are now processing applications that they received on the 25th of September and that it will be a couple of months until we receive any reply. Has anybody else called the office in Mississauga and received a similar response? This seems very strange since we are following this forum and everybody has received their AOR much earlier.

The email you got means you have AOR2.

Next step after this are as follows (approx.):

Request for Additional Documents -> Criminal Check (Eligibility) -> Interview (May be waived) -> Passport Request -> Confirmation of PR

How long this takes, really depends on the case and the VO processing the application.

All you can do at this point is wait and keep an eye open for any correspondences from CIC.

I waited two months with no updates and then I received an email requesting a Statutory Declaration of Common Law form, then ecas updated to third line. A few weeks later it updated to "medicals received", which ended up being my fourth line and then soon after it updated to DM.
