MM sometimes different processing offices request the passport early on in the process even before background checks.

Thanks KelKel. I didn't realise that they would do that. What if you had to travel in the meantime? Assuming of course they would keep your passport until they stamp it...let's say a few months later.

This might be a little early to ask, but does anyone know when in the process I should consider ordering CAIPS notes? And Is this really necessary to do?
Thanks :)

That is great news about cezvi! How did he get his PPR so quickly? Amazing! I didn't know that was possible!
From what I saw on the Manila Philippines thread, it seems like the embassy is requesting passports early on in the processing so it's no different with my case..

I dunno what to do though if for some reason one needs their passport to travel. Just have to contact CIC or the visa office I guess..

It's good to order the notes when they request an interview -- that way you have some idea of what their concerns are.

I think like me, they used the option of a signature and a tracking # when their application packages arrived at CPC-M upon delivery, so we knew what date and time they received our applications..

Hi,

Ecas shows Decision made on my sponsorship application.

"
We received your application to sponsor X X X on September 23, 2010.

We sent you a letter on October 22, 2010 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
"

Strangely, I was not able to use the receipt number to get the status. I used my client id(sponsor) to get the status. Also, for my daughter, who is the sponsored person, they have missed out a couple of characters from the middle name. Should I be worried about it and try to get it corrected or leave it be?

Thanks

Oh I see, we used Canada mail that explains why we have no tracking number. Thanks cezvi.

I hope they don't mess up my name too, I usually go by my mother's last name instead of the much more traditional father's last name, but I sent them a note requesting that being the name they use for me, since it is how I am known more in Mexico; hope they take it in consideration.

Thanks..

I really do hope that the mistake in the middle name is not that much of an issue and it gets corrected when Buffalo starts processing the application.
Also strange thing is why the receipt number is not usable in eCas. Hopefully, the sponsorship application is not rejected ???
