Good afternoon,

Your application is awaiting a full review. The review is expected to be completed shortly.

Does it mean anything good?

Hi Sunnyshade,

I have the exact same timeline as you (well, two days different - you actually went in process 2 days earler). I got the same email back in June requesting the personal history form but I emailed back saying I did it correctly first time and asked if they were sure they needed it, and they said that the email was sent by mistake. So they may have sent it to a bunch of people by mistake. Anyway, they also said in the apology email that they appeared to have everything they needed....so I waited a month and emailed again saying "last time you emailed me you said you have everything you needed. Is there any chance it's done?" They replied saying they were waiting for routine background checks and when they come in they can make a decision.

I emailed AGAIN a month later (i.e. last week) and asked if there was any chance of getting an estimate of remaining time so my and my fiancee can plan life, essentially. They replied the next day saying they were pleased to tell me my application was approved.

I danced!!!!

My point is, your file is probably sitting there and completed and waiting to be approved. You could possibly email them and ask super politely if there was any chance you could get some idea as to when...blaah blaah.

My worry and pessimism made me contact them and keep them going back to my file. I really think my last email made someone go and get it done.

Much love and luck to you Sunnyshade, and everyone else. My ecas went to DM officially yesterday, but I got the email last week saying it was approved.

Peace

Oh my goodness, that is so reassuring of you to say!!
I am going to email them asap, and hopefully hear back something (ANYTHING) positive like you!

Thanks so much!

When you emailed them which address did you use. Was it london-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca?

Yup, I did the same as itsgonnahappen, just hit reply to the email above!

Congrats itsgonnahappen, by the way, that is great news! completely useless to answer your question, but excited for your news!

So I just checked my ecas and it says Decision Made!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I assume since I didn't get called for an interview that this is a positive thing right?

I'm so happy right now!!

Hello,
I am not sure who are the people who updates the spreadsheet, but I noticed that there are two things that need to be updated that may have been lost in the depths of this thread. The first is from erinmcc174. They received their Decision Made on September 16th.

Can I please be added to the spreadsheet?

Married
London
Received in Mississauga - Sept 17/13

Also, I noticed that Becki567 still needs to be added. The details are quoted above.

I hope that these can be added shortly so we can have an up to date spreadsheet!

Thanks to whoever updates the spreadsheet! It is very helpful

Thank you. I didn't want to ask for a 3rd time. If help is needed with the spreadsheet I can help. I am also helping on the Sept 2013 outland thread.

I think Sweden will have to add you to the spreadsheet.

Wait times vary, but on the website it states that stage 1 (sponsor approval) is around 24 days and stage 2 (London Office) takes about 10 months to go through your file. But seeing how some go through quickly and my application has nearly taken a year, take that information as you want.

Good luck!

Hey!

Sorry - was out of internet access for a while, and I think SM is as well - so spreadsheet is not being updated that often. It would be great to have more people in charge of it, as I won't be able to spend as much time as before - and won't be around for the next 2 weeks.
Becki567 - I'll send you a private message to add you to the spreadsheet as an editor so you can help out.

Anybody else who wants to volunteer? Let me know!(preferably by private message ).
thanks!
Sweden

They asked me to send in my passport photos again as they misplaced them twice. They also requested 3 months of history I forgot to include in my personal declaration form.

Other than that there was nothing else
