Guysssss. I'm shocked, I got passport request from Ottawa today!!!!! After almost three years, they finally completed processing my file!!
I am supposed to submit my passport to new york in 15 days. My status on CIC website is still the same "started processing on March 12, 2012" (in case some people don't have their status updated -- it doesnt matter)
You can see my timeline on the left panel. I am a May 2010 applicant.
Now, this is supposed to be good news. But after I gave up my hope with CIC, I started to take my life in my own hands. I have a flight booked this friday and was going to get married next Tuesday. I don't know if it's good or bad timing from CIC but it's definitely confusing for me now. Would they delay my application a lot more if I want to add my spouse next Tuesday? Can I even do that know? Just to give you an idea, if I don't add her now I will have to sponsor her and with the current processing times in Ankara office, they will take 15-18 months to finalize her application.
I appreciate if anybody has any advice.
