Got Sponsor Approval today! It took 103 days, but was entirely my fault as I missed one signature on one of the documents! Glad we are on to the next step!

Got some updates, so for all the in process applicants who received the letter to pay RPRF on the 20th of August, just noticed in my notes it states that this letter was a batch request. I also got a letter on the 8th of September regarding the police clearance, today I got a response from Ottawa saying they have the clearance so I am assuming they are running the checks as we speak. Good to know Ottawa actually responds to emails.

Hey everyone! Hopefully this week, we'll all get some good news. In the mean time, I was checking our status today, and of course still says In Process, but under the Sponsorship side where it says Decision Made, there are two new lines that both say, "We've sent you correspondence on March 26, 2015 about the decision on your application". Those lines weren't there before. Was hoping to see those on my side, the Applicant side! Anyone else notice this on there's?

I don't know how long it's been there because I never check that part anymore, but I also now have a 4. and 5. that both say "we sent you correspondence on March 31st, 2015 about the decision on your application." It also now lists my dependents on the number 1 part.

Yea they told me they located my most recent FBI clearance as I inquired after receiving the letter about forwarding the FBI Clearance to the Ottawa office on the 8th of September, actually surprised they answered my email . That batch letter they sent out on the RPRF on the 20th is confusing because on my notes, the portion where it says officer assigned its blank.
