Hi there!

Not much information about inland applications, right now they have the following on the website: "8–9 months (initial assessment) (working on applications received on February 22, 2010)", and only stage 2 can be tracked through the website... so it looks I'll be only able to see smth in July... with by work permit expiring end of June... nice!

Welcome to the thread SGPA, what Visa Office are you applying through and have you got your sponsorship approval yet?

Ahhh yes, this is all for family sponsorship and not skilled worker - our timings are significantly different to yours.

I won't add you to our list, but good luck anyway.

Woke up to an email from the eCas tracker saying DM and letter sent on November 23rd!! Very happy with the 28 day turnaround! :D

For those of you waiting...it seems that they're just being slow updating eCas and not necessarily slowing down with their processing.

Hello
you have no need to worry.
I suffer through same problem .
Adress shown on e-cas is wrong but they actually sent letter to right adress.
But just to safe your side u must call cic by phone and ask them to correct your adress nd also resend you letter incase if they send it to wrong adress.

Cheers

congrats Mike and filipina.

@filipina.
i don't think that will effect your application. you can call the CIC to confirm the decision made. they will transfer the file to your VO.
IMO CIC will only resend the letter if its returned to them by Canada post, which might take a months or so. if the address is correct with only postal code wrong, Canada post might deliver it in 2-3 weeks.

For those who have got their sponsorships approved in Mississauga, how long has it taken for the app to get in-process at the local visa office?

my got approved and sent before 4th Nov and still 25days later no letter or ecas in-process - i don't know if singapore forwarded it london and that's why there is no update from them yet!
