Checking back in. My spouse visited for about 3 weeks so I've been MIA during that time. I'd love to see a jump in the application time! ;D

I also read that some (or all) of the march applicants were sent to the Ottawa office. Is this true? Do we have any confermation from the cic?

don't know about CIC confirmation, but all the approvals for March have been coming through Ottawa, so it has been assumed that it is the case. Ive seen approvals up to 15 march. They seem to be speedy in comparison to CIC M, who still appear to be doing the remaining late Febs!

It is accurate for March/Ottawa. I feel bad for everyone who doesn't get sent to Ottawa.

i think they are taking an average of Ottawa and Missi apps, hence the 82 days.
Hope Aprils are sent to Ottawa! ;)

The question is will they stop sending apps to Ottawa when they get to the end of March?

I'm suspecting that they will separate the files. The first half of the month go to Ottawa, and the second half stay in Miss. I agree that the 82 days is BS, at least from Miss.

Hopefully April will be processed in Ottawa. I am so tired of waiting!

It's like they're playing leap frog.

more like a bunch of children with ADHD....can't focus or concentrate on a task for too long without coffee breaks, lunch breaks and probably facebook breaks and personal call breaks...etc. :p :p
