I wonder if I bet money that the wait time would go UP with the next update, that CPC-M would get their butt moving just to see me lose money.

Hey, if it works, I'll bet $10,000USD.

Fake money, but they don't have to know that.

is there anyone applied inland and used the old forms after July 18th?
Did you include an IMM0008 in your package?
If so, did you inlcude the old or new version?
On CIC's website, it says all applicantion under family class must have an IMM0008 form. Not like the old outland application package which includes an IMM0008 already. The old inland package have IMM5002, which asks for similar question to IMM0008, thus I am not sure whether its necessary to include IMM0008 in addition to IMM5002. Moreover, CIC doesn't specify which version of IMM0008 to be included with other old forms.

It's nice to see I'm not the only one going a little crazy in anticipation :D My application was received at Miss. on 31 Aug so I'd love to join the group, even if I only just scrape by in to Aug. Can't believe the wait has gone up to 68 days! I'm sure it was only 45 days when I looked at the begining of August. Hopefully once sponsor approvals is through Sydney office can speed through, in all the forums I've looked at there don't seem to be many folks using Sydney.

Hope you all start hearing news soon :)

Welcome to the group :)

I remember in April, after hubby and I got married, I was getting the application started and looked at the wait time and thought - 30 days for sponsor approval isn't so bad!

Then it started creeping up and I started to get that sinking feeling. Utter madness!

I think because Australia, specifically, Melbourne, ranked as the best place to live and Canada came in third through Vancouver.. ;D So not many people relocating from Australia to Canada. Just a thought. :p :p

That's probably pretty true, and I'm glad Australia is the Lucky Country because it might just make the processing time for my application go a little quicker! Australia, New Zealand and Canada are all so similar in a lot of ways it probably seems a bit weird to migrate from one to the other.

They seem to do it late wednesday, might not see it until tomorrow morning.

I saw one week that didn't get updated until friday though. They seem to have no rhyme or reason to their methods....

Hi August applicants,

NOC category - 3152
Application filed - Aug 2011 (First week)

Iam still waiting for the first response from the CIO. Does it take normally 2 or is it more than that to get a AOR.
