She is the SPONSOR! So her husband is the one coming here according to her previous post. Therefore, the baby will be Canadian regardless. But in the application it says that if you are pregnant to let them know so they can expedite the process. It's not fair for her to go through that alone, especially since she waited enough. CIC shouldn't be this slow anyways but when it comes to pregnant women, there could be complications or god knows what, so they should allow the husband to come here be with her....either by approving PR or letting him come with a visa.
I read that application over many times and never once did it say pregnant couples were expisited. It's actually irresponsible to get pregnant while your life is in limbo. ESPECIALLY getting pregnant to move an immigration application faster through the system.

Hi cerahbell
How did you know that your application on queue for initial review ?

I do not have any info on my eCAS except that they sent me correspondence on My 19 regarding a decision made
I called CIC and they told me that I got SA and my file transferred to cairo visa office
But no emails or even letters from them here in Canada or from Cairo

Some visa offices send AoR2, some don't.
My VO only tells if you ask.
I'm pretty sure Manila VO always send AoR2 since they request for the passaport at the very beggining of the process. :D

Cross posting here and in the U.S. thread. Want to keep my March peeps updated too!

Our application was received on March 25, and we still haven't heard about sponsorship. My wife (the sponsor) called last week and was told we would get a response in three days, after being told it was in Ottawa. I take that as good news...that maybe someone had just forgotten to push a button that sends the email and updates the website or some nonsense like that.

Last week passes and nothing. She calls again this morning and gets the worst agent...saying she shouldn't be calling again, wait three months before you call again, etc. She's in tears when we get on Skype. So I call. I'm the applicant, in the U.S. and I get the nicest agent...give her our file number from the AOR, she verifies my identity, and checks...the agent last week sent the inquiry to Ottawa and not Mississauga and that's why we haven't heard anything. She didn't see anything indicating missing info, but also didn't see anything else either, so we are still waiting on SA, even though they are now processing applications from April 15. Sucks, but I'm glad I called and very thankful the agent checked for me since I'm not the sponsor.

I'm at 62 days waiting for SA and called last week. All I got from the agent is that she was going to send an email to the Mississauga office for an update as I should have received something by now. I am tempted to call again as they had no info on my process.

I think that if documents were missing they would've told me by now or sent the whole thing back.

One would think so, but who knows when things go in limbo like mine has. I'm calling once a week...figure it doesn't do much good to do it more than that - the agent has to contact Mississauga, they have to look into it then respond..that's going to take 3-4 business days I would think. If we don't hear anything this week I will call CIC again and have my wife contact her MP. My biggest fear is that our application got misfiled as Inland.

Is there anything her local MP can do?

Hard to say. We're now far enough behind (82 days and counting) that I would think they could put in an inquiry. After I posted this in the U.S. thread, someone there said they had their application misplaced in the Inland pile and they had their MP contact CIC to get it fixed. So if we don't hear anything this week, we are calling again next and depending on the response we will contact her MP's office. Some MP's are more responsive and helpful than others. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.

First off, I'm still waiting for my official SA (sent May 19), but since we received our AOR2, I'm not so bothered.

Secondly, there is no preferential treatment for pregnant couples. If there was, I think there would be a baby boom among recent arrivals. I'd even consider paying for IVF to be together that much sooner.
