I have read in a forum of french immigrants who live in Montreal that some of them have contacted a conservative MP there, he told them the expected time of files transferred from Buffalo to Ottawa is 15 months counted from AOR date, and the maximum date to finish the processing of all these files in January 2013
Where is the source of the forum, please?

Where does it say specifically about us? I think one of the applicants said MP told them about this?

If only you were not too busy looking at the beautiful scenery outside and enjoying the weather - we could get some work done around here! ;D

How about I guess-timate once you share your GCMS, Mr. Romeo? Any lines of romantic wisdom for me today, Mr. Literature? ;D

If your medicals are expiring anytime soon, you can ask for assistance from your MP stating that. It might help trigger your file, who knows?

I dont think we will hear something this week. If we do, we will start hearing some people go In Process around 2nd-3rd week of October. I hope you see an updated date after July 7th on your GCMS, thats your biggest indication that something is happening for your case.
