try calling first thing in the morning at 8:00am.......you might have to call two or three or four times one right after the other but better chances in the morning and Thurs and Fri mornings are the least busiest...Mon/Tues the worst....hope that helps

Not to be a pessimist, but don'tcha think that all these people constantly calling the CIC may be detracting the agents there from doing exactly what we want them to do, which is focussing on the cases? I'm just saying, is all.. :

it's not the agent's who answer the phone......it is like a customer service call centre who answer the phone...

Thanks. Strangely enough we have lots of Proof of intent now. We were originaly going to rent, but now are actively looking to buy a house, before we go!

Email the VO your proof. I emailed Mexico proof I moved back to Canada. Scanned documents etc. I think that helped things go faster since they didn't have to decide if they believed I was going to move back.

Friends,

I called in CIC to hear a automated message that they did received my application on April 10 and when I spoke to callcentre agent, she said the file is in process and the decision will be made in the next few days.

Crossed my fingers and eagerly awaiting for my approval.... Good luck for everyone.

@ Subaru, I checked the ecas. It is NOT responding. What about you?

Thanks.

so here's hoping your app is processed fast and you don't have to go through this....

Well with that last post, I can't whine or complain now. For me Stage 1 is like that 'gimme putt' that a golfer in the group in front of you lines up for 3 hours . Stage 2 is of much more concern to me what with my application not being anywhere near the 13 lbs I am reading of here, (of course seeing sponsorship approval is a hurdle cleared nonetheless).

My wife applied for sponsor spouse outland visa in may 2012 when she returned to canada, we got married in india in march 2012, but before marriage i and my mom apply for visitor visa to give her surprise in feb 2012 but i didnt mention that i know anyone in canada and i am going to visit her in canada. will this affect my application ? visitor visa got rejected.

 

[truesmile]

Interesting scenario. I know that (based on a few poster's experience) that they are now allowing you to apply for visitor's visa while awaiting spousal PR application. So it didn't need to be a secret. Would like to hear if anyone tries but is NOT allowed that avenue.

Any approvals or AORs today :

Think some of you are all "overly" concerned with the order of the applications being approved. I like to think of it that it's not like the Walmart "express" line up (you know with 6 cashiers servicing one line) but rather the regular Walmart line-ups where once you pick a line, you're stuck with it (and don't we all get the slowest line). Let's say 50 VO's all take an application from the top of the pile, I SURE AM GLAD that agent #50 doesn't go around and check with the first 49 to see that their approvals are sent out before his, what he was able to approve his in 30 seconds or less.

Anyway, whoever said that life was fair. But it's not SO unfair that we won't get our approvals (or rejections if applicable).

Yes, visitor visa rejection won't affect your PR application but it will add an additional step for VO to verify there are really no concerns from your earlier application.

thank u caprwife, thanks for ur guidance , god knows y lawyer sitting in canada says that u should have atleast mention in visitor visa form that u know fiancee in canda and u know her and will visit. but at the end he also says thats ok, sometimes i really feel this lawyer also play with our emotions.
