Linked PA's GCKey account to the application. Can the sponsor also link the applicatino separately on the sponsor's account?

In SA letter, Visa Office Contact Information is left blank. Will we receive a separate communication when a visa office is assigned to the application?

No Sponsor cannot link their GCKey account to their application. They can only look at ECAS general status updates.

As for your second question, I haven't gotten a SA letter so I don't know yet. I will definitely msg you when I do.

But when I logged in ECAS as the sponsor I saw decision made as my sponsor status. I am guessing either I will get a SA letter shortly or they just are choosing not to send it to me as I got another letter saying my file has started processing.

I'm happy for yo guys, but I'm feeling incredibly frustrated as well. My application was received 13 November 2020, and I still haven't heard anything back at all. I'm thinking maybe it was lost and I should send everything again! Any advice?

Thank you, and good luck everyone!

Did you try calling the call centre? A lot of people have been phoning in and getting temporary file numbers. Before going through the hassle of re-doing everything...just call in. They will be able to tell you if they recieved it or not.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

hi,

I really appreciate your reply! I thought the call centre only worked when calling from Canada (we’re applying from the Uk).
can you please confirm the number if it does work internationally?
thank you so much!

I am afraid it says that it is for in Canada inquiries only.

I am afraid it is for in Canada inquiries only. I tried searching for a way but unfortunately couldn't find one for you. Do you have anyone you know in Canada that can help you...

Your wait time is fairly typical. Did you get tracking when you sent your application?

No it doesn't, do you have somebody in Canada you can do a 3 way call with? You and that person start a call then have them call IRCC. It has worked for others on here.
