Hi Rosie,

Thanks again i spoke to call center she told me to send that form with mentioning all details on a covering letter plus she told me to mention additional or supporting document on envelope as well with my phone number and name on it so if the VO have any problem they can cal me

CAn you please tell me if you mentioned anything in the envelope or include covering letter please let me know
Thanks

Abhi
We didn't put anything on the envelope. Just the covering letter inside explaining and as much info as we had to hope that it would be connected with the right file. Don't worry, it sounds like youve done as much as you could. Despite all our frustrations on the forum, I'm sure most of the agents at CIC should be able to put the two together!! ::)

Day 76 for me and still no word. I'm guessing I will not hear anything until about day 100. I was kind of hoping they would do the leap frog thing like they did with Feb and Mar. Next week will be a shorter week due to the holiday, so I hope they get through more March applications this week and slowly start into April over the next couple of weeks!

Damn, the closer it gets, the harder it is to be patient. I'm on holiday soon, but I would give it up in a heartbeat for some kind of news from CIC!

wow, giving up holidays for news from CIC. That's how far they got got you into their psych game. Its all just a game to see who will last longest? I do not count the days since app. filed. I count the days till I see my wife again. 55 days left and I know I will be heading to her with the sponsorship approved. Life has to be evolving around us not around CIC. I never would give up holidays as its the only time I am with my wife. Go out, have fun, enjoy life. We will all get through this sooner or later.

Giving up my holiday is nothing compared to getting the visa and returning home! Besides, I plan on a bit of a holiday when I get back...

Truth be told, I'd do a lot more to get this process over with! I am so tired of waiting. No matter which way you cut it (i.e. counting down the days, etc...), this process sucks.

Life is evolving around me, and everything is going pretty good at the moment. I am busy with family, friends, and lots of other stuff, but still, I can't help but think of CIC and my wife's visa at least a thousand times a day! It is what it is...

I know, I should be more positive...I get it...it's just hard now that we are so close to getting sponsorship approval!

Mobeyk has the right idea! My wife is beginning to go a little insane checking the forum all the time for some news..just go out and enjoy life, it's unfortunate that we seem to have applied at a busy time but things will smooth out and soon we'll all be hearing good news..

I'm looking around me now and there is a mountain of washing, cleaning and tidying to do. But all I want to do is sit on the forum hoping to see more March AOR's and Approvals. Life must go on, but the waiting is hard and this is just Stage 1! :(

Each tasked completed, each day filled with work and success in doing what we do, each waking up. each sunrise and sunset brings us closer to be united with our loved one. We shall remember these days once united for a long lasting marriage. For those who applied and are beside their partner, Canada will be there soon, life will get normal and we all forget the wait.Let us remember that it is a privilege to live in Canada and specially let us remember to keep our country the best it can be by shaping it to our best ability. Good luck to all and happy Canada Day.

Feb applicants are almost done and seems like about 70 % of March applicants received approvals or atleast AORs

I am being highly positive about hearing some AORs / approvals for the first week of April applicants before 6th July or even earlier.
