Hi Queencougar,
Thank you so much for your kind words :-*,
I just cant understand, if there are some problems or issues why can they not just ask for updated or additional details, the way they do for recent applications. Why'd they not sent a standard acknowledgement note, even by a-mail , to save their time and money, whatever, just to let people know that their file is looked after. It looks like they completely disorganised , which causes a huge back log...
We'll have a look with my husband at CAIPS notes, can we order them on www.caipsnotes.com ? or through Canadian Government site? We living in Ireland, how long did it take for you to receive them?
