if things were going in order and if they really work...people would not have to contact themMadeInCanada said:If they spent all their time replying to the emails no visas would ever get issued anyways. It's reasonable to assume if there are 30 applicants on this one forum then there are possibly hundreds if not more actual applications. Not to mention the drop ins they get as well as the other categories people are applying under for visas.
I understand this if your past processing times are worried and impatient. Your really only supposed to contact them if they request documents or if you need to supply more proof(however that too is frowned upon,or so I have heard). But continually sending emails and calling.....I really don't think it's going to help. If nothing else, you could just tick off your VO.
Here is an example among many cases:
