What is the timeline for sponsorship approval? Checked CAS using receipt number and no record under my or my husbands name. According to registered post the documents were received in Mississauga Nov 6. Should I worry?

Nevermind, checked the website and it says 31 days for sponsorship processing IF received before or on Nov 3 2009 and can be checked on eCAS...anything after that has not yet been processed.

Thanks for posting that! Where does it give that info on the website. I was getting worried as well since my application isn't showing either. I did send mine later than you but just the same, I would like to be able to keep an eye out for any updated posts re processing time for anything after Nov 3 2009.
Thanks! |

actually the time posted on cic site is a bit not accurate, so it can possibly be that they work on the 6th or 7th of November now.

The posted timelines are based on historical data and thus not a prognosis (let alone a promise) but more of a guide, a relative range of reasonable expectation. But, of course, every app, including the sponsorship approval itself prior to the PR app being sent to the appropriate Visa Office to be processed, is individual and subject to all the vagaries of bureaucratic processes. Including, of course, mistakes and omissions made by the applicants, which can cause delays ranging from brief to more extended ones during which requests for addtional info or docs is made and must be responded to. To be sure, most applicants make some mistakes: my wife and I worked diligently on our application, and went over things multiple times, checking and re-checking checklists, but not too long after sending the whole thing off I started recognizing some mistakes, and just recently, well over a year since my PR visa was issued, I noticed another significant omission (a query posted in another forum alerted me to something I had overlooked). So the thing is to be patient, to relax if you can, maybe review your copy of the paperwork to reassure yourself that you submitted a strong, convincing application, and don't get too worried about the minutia -- there is quite a bit of flexibility written into the process, which works in favor of most applicants (recognizing the exceptions, the painful exceptions).

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.

Thank you for your posts, they've been very positive and helpful. I guess the hardest part is that I think our app is straightforward; we've been married and living in Ireland 7 years, have a son, now relocating to Canada where we have a place to live and I have a job offer...all of which was included in our app so I don't get why it should take so long. But everyone has to be treated fairly, I understand that.

Ok, so checked status with eCAS - I'm the sponsor living outside Canada and didn't realise that I had to enter MY name, DOB and country of birth - anyway, it said decision was made and letter sent Nov 27 so fingers crosses!
App receieved: Nov 6 decision mailed out: Nov 27 Recieved: ?? |

It seems silly that this process comes down to luck, but since it does: Best of luck!
