You are correct here. Etobicoke has been known to move landings up to satisfy expiring medicals, passports, or security clearances. So, YMMV, but average is 9-11wks.

My wife had a landing invite from CIC-Kitchener within an hour of DM. So, yes, the range is crazy.

I had a feeling I'd be in the 9-11 week range! That's good to know though. It's super exciting to nearly be at the end. I'm looking forward to not having a time limit on my stay here in Canada. I have really found home here in this great country.

I can't thank you enough for your support throughout this process profiler, along with the others who have provided quick responses. It's a lonely and confusing process at times. It's great to have such helpful people providing their insights and reassurances.

You bet! I know it's tough being in the information vacuum. We were there too, right?

If you have a DM, that's it. You don't have to limit your stay at all. It's just formality now.

Hi there, I am an early December 2016 applicant. I have been trying to reach IRCC to find out the status of my application for months. Every time I call them, an automatic voice of some lady just doesn't let me speak to alife person. I noticed that there are some people on this forume that actually manage to reach someone on the IRCC side.
Could you share what kind of magic you use to get through this nasty automated woman and get more information about your applications. I am starting to worry as I hear people are getting their applications sorted out from the end of November to beginning of December of 2016.

No Magic, just call, go thru the phone prompts and then sit on hold for usually about 30 to 45 min.. gotta have patience

UCI - universal client identifier. So, yes, it's UCI.

what do you do to extend it ? it was done July last year... and at the rate they are moving it will expire...

You're getting squirrelly Time for a project methinks.

The officer processing the file can choose to extend it. You cannot request it. They just automatically do it. I suspect it's based on the health risks from the region you're from. In your case, I wouldn't expect an extension...not for those from the Bayou (I can't remember which part of FL you're from... so, we'll just call this a bad joke and move on ).
