luckyus,
i had the same circumstance as yours. i'm from philippines. it's in a normal process - sending docs to Nova Scotia.
piece of advise. DO NOT CONDITION your mind to WAIT for the replies. they will eventually reply.
WAITING will only lead to STRESS and it's not good.
just offer everything to the Lord and surely, He'll answer your prayers in no time.

Note: i submitted mine last july 4 and currently, im on Medical Request. i did not condition my mind to wait. things just came as fast as i could have expected.
