MARCH 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[yijiequ]

Yes. I am March 10 applicant and I never received either.

I think visa officer's dog ate both ours SA letter.

what did the call centre say about it?

I am another March 10th applicant with no SA…I am at 69 days today. The call centre basically told me to wait…no real answers.

what did the call centre say about it?

They said I got SA but sometimes people don't get letter. She also said that I need not worry because content of letter doesn't include anything special other than the info she was giving on phone, which is that I was approved as a sponsor.

Call back - keep calling back until you get a real answer. Their website says 37 days for sponsor approval and also says to contact them if you haven't received approval in that amount of time. Some CIC agents are less than helpful. If you call back you'll get a different one each time. They should be giving you a better answer than "wait" at this time.

Good luck!

It's so frustrating to see how many people have to play the waiting game while others get the express route it seems. Based off of emails from Ottawa, our DM is expected within the next week or two and SURELY I am thankful for our swift process but it still baffles me that others have been waiting since October and still haven't got DM. Wish it was different and more even across the board.

i filed my app late oct 2015 & by now i.e. March according to the patterns and trends of recent applicants, i should be receiving DM during early this month but no replies as of yet. still "in process"

waiting desperately.

sadly... where your spouse comes from makes a lot different.. 1st world say US and UK.... the fastest.. then you have mine... lol.. you know? i am a Chinese Canadian male marrying to an Arab female.. it's probably very rare....cic gonna look at us harder i think.. ahhh.

Hello other March people!

I'm trying to find out why I can't get any information from the online system (ECAS I think?). Just a quick background my Common-Law Husband is from the US. We submitted our outland application in March. So far all I've received is an email on May 11th. It is an automated message confirming they received my application on March 23/16. The email came with a UCI number and an Application No. I've tried using both to check the status of our application but it just says it can't find it. Its frustrating because I'm not sure if I use the UCI or the App No. or if the name and info I enter is mine or my Husband. I've even seen some info that the UCI is supposed to have a hyphen in it and the letter doesn't show that.

I'm pretty sure that by now I should have known whether I was approved for a sponsor.

Anyway if you guys have any help with this I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks
