Hi schnookoLoly
I need some advise as I can see you here from long time so I hope you can help me. My application was received on 12 feb.my wife got an email with uci and We can check online as well same thing is there.but still we havnt got any letter from CiC that they forward my application to London. Will they send any letter before forwarding file to London or it's just my assumption.
It's almost 73 days. What should I do now???

If you have a receipt (or any kind of visa previously) you can use that number to check your status (as applicant) on ECAS. You will need to put in the Country of Birth - for instance, if you were born in England then you would select 'England' and not "UK".
Present processing time for spousal applicants through London is 11 months although mostly they are going through in around 5-6 months, so you still have quite a wait to go.
HTH's.

The letter your wife received would have been the Sponsorship Approval. You won't receive anything further until you get either a passport request, requirement to pay your Right of Permanent Residency Fee or you receive the COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residency) which you will need to activate.

The Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-Mississauga) will review your sponsorship application. If it is approved, your relative’s application for permanent residence will be forwarded to the visa office responsible for their home country or the country where they have lived for more than one year.
You, the Sponsor, will be notified in writing of the decision and of the visa office to which your relative’s application has been sent.
You won't get anything else until either Passport request or COPR is issued.You, the Sponsor, will be notified in writing of the decision and of the visa office to which your relative’s application has been sent.

[QUOTE=Siouxie;11233425]You said that your wife received a letter with her UCI number on it - presumably that was confirmation of Sponsorship Approval. I believe you said that ECAS confirmed sponsorship approval?

Yah but the problem is we are still waiting for sponsorship approval letter. Uci that we have received through email. Cic took 29 days as they mention for approval but in some cases more days. We waiting from feb but still no response.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
willf -- did you apply as Married or Common-Law? Trying to keep that column filled in completely for 2014 apps.
Added you in! Did you apply as Married or Common-Law?
Yay! I've jotted that down in the spreadsheet in your comments (we're actually going to track time between Decision Made and COPR in the 2014 one!). Time to plan the landing!!
Ah, so the letter your wife received, was that just AOR?
When you log into ECAS, under the bit for Stage 1, does it say "Decision Made"? What does it actually say when you log in?

Hi SchnookoLoly, I have a question for you!!! Does all my correspondence with the CIC go via my home address in London? (Because I am actually staying in Canada with my husband despite applying outland) It doesn't matter, I am just curious!! Thank you!

You can apply outland even if you are living in Canada, and you can supply a Canadian address for an outland application. What address did you provide to CIC? The address you provided is the one they'll use if they mail you anything.

I said I was visiting Canada and so I put my husbands address for all his forms, my email address and my UK residential address on my forms because I didn't want to highlight too much that I was in Canada... Oh well hahaha!! It's not a problem really though. Wow, if they email, that's amazing!!

Email CIC and let them know you have moved to Canada while you wait to be processed, and give them the new address. Once you are able to log into ECAS, make sure that the address that comes up is your Canadian one, and stay on them if it doesn't update.
Side note: Someone in my office just farted and now it smells really bad.
