Congrats to all who got some good news!

Ok wow update! So I called again because I've been flabbergasted all day by 2 different stories from 2 different agents about 2 weeks apart. This agent explained that my additional documents received in March were not opened until July 27th. So no they haven't been reviewed but they've been...

It's hard to be thankful when you are told outright lies by government employees. I should he thankful for being lied to?

Here's the thing. Last time I called? They said all my docs had been reviewed. This time they say they haven't. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT IN LYING?? Why are CIC call centre agents DISHONEST???

That's what I think we are going to do. Apply for a consular processing and see what happens faster. It's just depressing.

I believe part of what fueled the end of that program was that the cost if living here in Vancouver is now out of control. We are the most expensive city in a North America. Yes, ahead of NYC, LA, San Francisco. Housing costs are not sustainable and a lot of it has to do with speculators and...

I just want to cry. I called CIC again today. My AOR is May 2013. We had to resubmit some documents in Mar 2014. They wanted more photos, our marriage cert (AGAIN), and a better explanation of how me and my husband met. Fine fine. Still no AIP. The agent today told me it could be a few weeks...

I wouldn't give them that much credit.

Yes, my husband did. We were already in close contact with our MP because my husband's GST refunds are screwed up. When he filed taxes, he of course put our Canadian born daughter on there. However his wife, me, doesn't have a Social Insurance Number. CRA refuses to believe this regardless of...

So many AORs for Inland 2014 today! Maybe this means we will see a bunch of AIPs and whatnot soon here?

I think I got in just before the switch to Mississauga. However, the official line is moving it all to one office would streamline and make the process faster. Unless they hired of officers, that would be impossible. So...they need to stop lying. I know my case is unusual because they needed...

I love this! It's brilliant, especially the section about the system reinforcing the patriarchy!!!

Hopefully they get to work!!

It especially doesn't help when there is a long weekend every month but 2.

I totally understand. That said, I don't expect much this week. We just came off August long weekend. I have several friends in Victoria who work for the provincial government and they say the day or two after a long weekend are pretty nonproductive.

Oh 1st world countries are not immune to the pox known as bloated bureaucracy. In fact it's an art form in most 1st world nations. A highly protected one at that. I think Ecas is a ballpark idea of times under perfect circumstances. What bugs me is it says call if your case is running later...

They requested medical and additional information at the same time. I sent both in March. The additional information was a copy of my marriage cert (again - I sent it with original packet), a better explanation of how my husband and I met (apparently meeting online is more weird than mail order...

When did they start transferring files from Vegreville? I'm may 2013 and never received a notice that mine was transferred.

Would one get an email regarding AIP first or would it appear on the website first?

So I called CIC, because I guess I am a masochist. :D The very kind lady said everything had been reviewed but the officer in charge of my file hadn't made a decision. I'm sort of confused. Do they go and meditate on these things? If you've reviewed all the information wouldn't you make a...
