CIC took almost 12 months as our file went 1st time in feb and was returned due to missing form...a stupid form which they wanted. But then without wastin time we sorted our ppers back as per check list and rushed it back and still it took 1 minth for us to do all this..thats why we became march applicants...and today is 12 feb...so it is almost 1 yr...but still THANKFUL TO GOD...
