Looking at the spreadsheet is something like 2 weeks.
Definitely over 2 weeks right now. My AOR was June 3rd (was received May 5th). I still haven't received SA. The SA times have slowed down. :-\

Hello guys after 4 days since I recieved the AOR last June 26 I can now access my E-cas, it was written that the application has been recieved and medical results of my husband also has been recieved. I'm sooo happy about this progress but I've noticed that the last name of my husband was misspelled, instead of Gutierrez,CIC made it to Guiterrez so I immediately phoned CIC hotline and informed them about the wrong spelling but the agent assured me that nothing to worry about it for they will confirm the files to the passport or ID submitted to them once the application has been finalize.
Anybody here experience the same?

Thanks for sharing.....

The SA times show 55 days .. so I would hope to expect mine in about 3 weeks *received May 25* but I haven't yet gotten my AOR yet either, though I read on the forum that
US applications don't always get an AOR ......

My Day Every Day Now

Everyday wake up check email.. check email throughout day, check email after dinner, think about what I did wrong and maybe its being returned, Obsess over miniscule
details of what is going to happen. Worry about not having a number for the visitor extension that we sent off... worry some more, go to bed.. Wake up

Check Email.......... Wash Rinse Repeat ....................

My eCAS worked today, only 2 business days since AOR so that was fast. But I have a question.

I, the sponsor, wrote UK as my country of birth as I didn't think Scotland was an official country. UK was not an option in eCas but instead there are options of "UK and Colonies", Scotland, England, etc.. It finally worked when I tried England which is the wrong country. So should I call CIC to correct them on it in case at some point they ask my wife by phone or in an interview where I was born and she says Scotland and they mark her wrong as they have England? Or should I just not mess with it for now as eCAS is working as long as I use England?

It should not be a problem. Sometimes the country of birth also changes in the process of review of the application, so you might see that sometimes it will work with England and sometimes UK and colonies. Its fine, happened to me when i was applying under the CEC stream.

Great! Happy Canada Day! It is nice to see that spreadsheet line change colour from the basic white to teal. Next stop is blue for Sponsorship Approval. Only 3 left on the 2015 spreadsheet who applied in May still to get AOR, plus another 2 who have a piece of missing information to add simply.

I see from your posts on another section that you want to put your data in the spreadsheet but don't know how to. I can get it started for you if you want. If so I will need the following information:

Visa Office- city in Sweden or the place where your application will be sent after Mississauga has approved your husband to sponsor you
Date application was sent to Mississauga.
Date application was received in Mississauga - should have been tracked if you used a courier service or ExpressPost.
Place in Canada where you and your husband will live - city and province or just province if you don't want to give city.
Date your Medical was done - or say if Medical not done yet

Good luck getting AOR very soon so that the AOR date can be added to the spreadsheet too.

Anyone can add new data or change their own data on the spreadsheets. It gets saved automatically. But I understand some are not confident in putting numbers in the boxes of a spreadsheet.

I added a line for your data in both the 2015 Outland Spousal Application and the May 2015 Outland spreadsheets. The 2015 spreadsheet has of course more people in it so there is more information to compare your own to. Links are under my post.

For the spreadsheets to work properly we also need a date of the Medical (not just upfront), and destination in Canada (for the 2015 spreadsheet). I put your VO as Singapore as you said in one of your posts you think that is the VO it will be sent to.

In my AOR in ecas for permanent resident section it only says Application received. I have noticed that some people get Application and Medical Received.

Is that a concern ? We submitted the upfront medical along with our application.

Did you click on all the links in the ecas? One of the links on mine had the extra information to say that Medical was received although it did not say the date.
